[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 2540, member: 1"] [URL='https://inthesetimes.com/article/healthy-food-comes-from-healthy-land-not-from-laboratories'][B]Healthy Food Comes from Healthy Land, Not from Laboratories - In These Times[/B][/URL] [B]Manufactured meat substitutes do nothing to restore the ecosystems and rural communities ravaged by industrial agriculture.[/B] All of my life I have heard, and used, the expression “Living off of the Fat of the Land.” To me, that expression means doing well from the excesses that come from what you have. It is kind of like living on the interest that is paid on your savings account. The [URL='https://grammarist.com/idiom/live-off-the-fat-of-the-land/']definition of the idiomatic phrase[/URL] supports that meaning: To live off the fat of the land means to live well, to live off the surrounding abundance. The term live off the fat of the land was first used in the King James Version of the Bible, translated 1611, in Genesis 45:18: “And take your father and your households, and come unto me: and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eat the fat of the land.” [/QUOTE]
