I too would love to see humane solutions for animals...ones that would work for farmers and not cause consumers to pay through the roof.
Tall order? Maybe....but all things are possible.  |
I wasn't going to post, since I don't know of this person and likely won't see the film. With Ann's post here, I see an opportunity to interject.
I just wanted to mention that the guy that owns Chipotle's restaurant chain only buys his meat from farmers that allow them to roam and live naturally. There was a story about him on TV a while back.
The point is, if a guy that has a chain of restaurants (800+) can do it in an economically feasible way, it should be possible for anyone to. Factory farms would disappear if we voted with our food choices, but we'd probably lose the $1.00 menu. Oh well....
On a side note, I saw an article in a magazine (think it was Rolling Stone) that said that some meat cuts that have been going into dog food are now being used for humans. Gotta wonder what's left for the dogs.....damn that dollar menu
