Knowing what you eat

I thought this recent news report about the largest recall­ing in US His­tory of ground beef (135 mil­lion pounds) just goes to show the impor­tance of know­ing where your food is coming from. Watch the video: it’s just a little dis­turb­ing! This is another con­vinc­ing mea­sure for me to buy locally and know my farmers.

Julie Dear­dorff says:

“Yet, as the largest beef recall in his­tory shows, most of us have no idea where–or from whom–our food is coming. And because we’re dis­con­nected from the process and the envi­ron­ment, we no longer eat intu­itively or instinctively.”

    I feel bad for those poor cows on the video :( Mean old work­ers!!! It’s not just for health rea­sons that I don’t buy “commercial beef”. I don’t want to sup­port feed­lots with my money, and do want to sup­port humane prac­tices instead. Voting with my dol­lars, as it were.
