This powerful documentary trailer highlights the importance of protecting our rights to make our own decisions about agriculture and health. It shows how ordinary families trying to make a living through sustainable agriculture are being harassed and terrorized by regulators who in many cases seize their products, rendering them unable to support their families.
Even though there is far more food-borne illness associated with factory farming (remember the salmonella outbreak in eggs a few months ago?) than there is with pasture-based, organic livestock, somehow the owners of these massive Confined Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) seem to be immune to the same kind of harassment from regulatory agencies.
Anyone who is concerned about this should make it a priority to support local organic farmers who are raising their animals on pasture. Its better for your health and better for the local economy too!
