At Deb's last night, Ken who is a meat worker was extremely angry both with the people in the video for their actions; and because their actions tar other meat workers with the same bruch, even when they're as humane as they can be in that awful trade. I'm very glad that in Australia most cows are grass fed and our in fields and that they're generally treated well. If I visit the US though I may have to become vegan for the duration.Salstahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02942736446853601057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6764224575243520295.post-46280046929088410522010-05-27T17:25:23.924-04:002010-05-27T17:25:23.924-04:00It's such a loaded issue Penny.

And for farms that really try to do things humanely, a farm like this one paints everyone with the color of suspicion. <br /><br />I'd think the video is way too intense for Elizabeth, but it's never too early to discuss the issues of where we get our food and what the hidden costs of it may be,Mariellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09276286373160055302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6764224575243520295.post-86559069411388303282010-05-27T16:49:01.289-04:002010-05-27T16:49:01.289-04:00I'm reading Michael Pollan's books right n...I'm reading Michael Pollan's books right now and have been giving these issues a LOT of thought lately. I guess I need to find out where Conklin Dairy's milk ends up. We buy organic milk, so possibly we aren't getting Conklin (although no guarantee that what we are getting is okay either). I'm not at the point where I can feel safe giving my kids raw milk though .... <br /><br />Lots of tough issues. I know I will NOT be showing the video to Elizabeth, who is mostly vegetarian on principle now (but she does consume a LOT of milk and eats eggs, which makes the whole vegetarian thing okay by me).Penny Lnoreply@blogger.com
