My presentation on grass-fed meats.
by John Klar
I spoke at Vermont’s annual Liberty Food Fest on December 12 regarding the benefits of grass-fed over grain-fed beef. To spice it up a bit and keep my audience’s attention, I repurposed a nursery rhyme for the occasion. (I even sang it!)
Here are the lyrics of my 2025 version of the classic children’s rhyme:
There was an old lady who swallowed a cow;
I don’t know how she swallowed a cow!
She swallowed the cow to save the planet,
That couldn’t handle so much methane on it.
She swallowed fake meats made from GMOs,
Peddled as healthy by the WHO.
She swallowed bug burgers to reduce global carbon,
And enrich the WEF in the bargain,
She swallowed lab-chicken grown in a tube
Bill Gates chuckled and called her a rube
She drank fructose syrup, and seed oil fats
Made from waste products and processed in vats
She swallowed Doritos and pizza with anchovies
Then took her shots of Ozempic and Wegovy
She ate 14 Twinkies with soda and then
She prevented her death with some insulin
She swallowed the food pyramid that her healthcare provider
Gave her to wiggle and tickle inside her
She swallowed the media’s great big lies;
I don’t know why she swallowed the lies – I guess she’ll die!
I call this version “There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed a Lie!” You can watch the video here. Thanks for joining me at Small Farm Republic!

This is great John !! Right to the point
Very funny and so true.
There was an old lady that lived in a shoe,
Affordable new housing for me and you.
There was an old lady that lived in a shoe,
She had so many children she certainly knew how to do something.
😂🤣😂🤣
