The food companies are deliberately hiding our eyes from the practices of the big food industries.
When you know where your food comes from , it is quite possible you may not want it.
Consumers believe they are helpless but that is simply not true. Consumers are the ones who can make the change.
There are farmers and families advocating and fighting for safe food.
There are people who are becoming increasingly ill from their unhealthy , on the run diets and feel they are forced to eat cheap , fast foods because they get more for their dollar.
Corporate farmers are told to keep their practices hidden from the public by the big companies that they are in debt to.
Cows and chickens are inhumanly housed , being fed antibiotics which they are becoming more and more resistant to when they become ill. These practices are causing disease to the animals and us.
Pigs are inhumanly slaughtered because they are simply not considered important.
Some of the animal farmers are no longer willing to deal with these practices and do not care who knows it.
Others continue on with their evil crusade due to money and denial.
Produce farmers are sued for standing their ground and going against Monsanto's procedures.

It matters.
