FOWC with Fandango — Nestle

FOWC

Welcome to Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (aka, FOWC). I will be posting each day’s word just after midnight Pacific Time (U.S.).

Today’s word is “nestle.”

Write a post using that word. It can be prose, poetry, fiction, non-fiction. It can be any length. It can be just a picture or a drawing if you want. No holds barred, so to speak.

Once you are done, tag your post with #FOWC and create a pingback to this post if you are on WordPress. Please check to confirm that your pingback is there. If not, please manually add your link in the comments.

      I was trying to find the post where you spoke of marijuana as America’s pot of gold; couldn’t. Legalization isn’t providing safety (at point of production, point of use, or anywhere in between) nor reduced crime leading to product and wealth… because we as a culture don’t seem to prioritize safety or know how to write meaningful legislation. This story also reveals that there is extreme pollution and loss at the point of violence of the most precious resource of water. Not only that, the illegal growers diversify… into other agricultural choices as well as humans.

        I used the phrase “America’s pot of gold in this “Bits and Pieces post last month: https://fivedotoh.com/2023/09/27/bits-and-pieces-september-27-2023/

        The brief piece was not meant to be a qualitative endorsement of the legalization of marijuana, although I believe it ought to be. It was a just factoid about the revenues from legal pot. More than from craft beer, chocolate, and ice cream.

          Yes, I know — that it wasn’t a qualitative or unmitigated endorsement of legalization or of profits. I just was surprised and horrified by this story and thought you and others might like to hear about it. I have already known there are good and bad ways to legalize, such that I’m not always happy about or impressed by legalization even though I too am in favor of legalization and/or decriminalization. This is another realm of why it isn’t simple. Thank you for providing the link, here.

      But we have to be aware that the bad guys aren’t primarily those one might think of as cartel material. Often, far from it.

        Again, I was going to include this under a different connection than this one; because I’ve once before here shared a conversation with this interviewer (and said he was [now I’ll add a qualification of slightly] unbecomingly self conscious). But this will be a good place, as the above deep dive also indicates that wanting to be nice can be dangerous — and find you unhappily nestled in the woods or back alleys or shadows in plain sight.

          That’s funny. I didn’t see the big letters in red about Prince Harry until after my commenting via hitting “Reply.”
