Steps Towards Ending Factory Farming?
Last week there was a slew of articles about the agreement in Ohio between the farm industry and animal welfare activists to expand cage sizes for calves (veal), hens and pigs.

An Affront to the Idea of Family
The idea of family is currently being used by the dairy industry in a series of commercials with the tag line: "99% of dairy farms are family owned."

    Hard to wean people off animals when the US government is propping up the industries, and especially when so much of it ends up on school lunch trays (laying the foundation for this nation's obesity problem in my opinion.)

    In the United States, we are in the midst of a health care debate in which the pharmaceutical industry disguises itself as a champion of the people.
