Is There Someone Who Has Inspired You?

I confess ingnorance as I've never heard of Hugh Fearneley-Whittingstall...but that idea ..."...of food being ethical, free range, organic,...etc" to quote you I really wish was the reality...if people knew how some of their food winds up on their plate they'd probably never eat it...Since we are no longer hunters and gatherers the average person just simply goes to the market and looks at all that nicely wrapped up meat, etc...the produce and never knows what goes on the behind the scenes --even how much of the fruits and vegetables are grown can make a person sick---most of the food (fruits and veggies) aren't even grown here in the US..but in countreis were they still use pesticides that are banned. Is it no wonder our immunee systems are going kaput?

I really will have to try and find that book! I did start a discussion about the food production "industry"...I had just seen some videos on the PETA website how our meat is raised...in the sections called "Meet your meat"---and I swear now I'm leaning more toward a veggie type diet...I haven't exactly been living in a cave all these years, but I had no idea that that was what went on in the mass produced food industry...Since I live in the city--near NY in the borough of Queens, our food DOES come from the mass production line...it is different if you live in a town or country environment since you are probably consuming locally raised meats and produce....oh, and then when I saw about how chickens were raised for Kentucky Fried Chicken--not that I go or eat fast foods. I had pointed out in my discussion that most people AREN'T aware of how that nice juicy steak gets on one's plate..and I agree with you...if more people did make an intelligent descision about their food purchases and demand more humanely raised animal foods it could very well make for stifer regualtions and more humae ways of raising animals for food in the food industry. Very good points in your response ;-)
