The Food We Eat - Leading the Way in Humane Treatment

We have a moral obligation to provide humane treatment for the animals that we use for food. Period. Factory farms throughout our country have failed miserably in this regard, cramming animals into tiny spaces that disallow basic movement.

Proposition 2 is a modest proposal that requires all animals in California factory farms be able to "tum around freely, lie down, stand up, and fully extend their limbs".  I hope that California will once again lead the way by approving it.

As always, it is excellent to purchase meat and eggs from cage free and free range farms. It costs a little more, but I look at it as a donation for humane treatment of animals.

Warning: the video below contains some graphic images.

Or, rather than a donation, we could look at it as selling a little less of our soul.
