A lot of people are coming to realize the high cost of producing food through the confinement systems prominent in the US. These confinements are destructive to the environment, the people who work there and completely inhumane to the animals. The quality of the meat produced from a confinement is poor at best, toxic at worst.
People know this, yet continue to buy meat produced in confinements all across the country. Did you know that you vote to continue the confinement practice every day by purchasing meat & poultry from these factory farms? Every dollar you spend on these products is a vote to keep the system in place. Think about it.
How are you voting?
