Others just want to pretend. You said in the interview that the factory farms “will come to an end.” Are you serious? I’d love it if that were true, but I haven’t heard anything about them actually ending. Is there current legislation being drafted? Do you have a general timeline? Or are you assuming the market will drive the factory farm out of commission? If it’s the latter, I’d love to believe that too, but I don’t.

There is a reason why we are the fattest nation. Cheap food…and lots of it. And there are millions (or billions) of people that never want that to change. But please tell me you know something I don’t know.

For the record; I’m not a vegetarian. I’m a flexitarian, lol. We eat a lot of plant based meals, some entirely vegan, but we also eat meat. I feel bad about the way animals are raised and treated to be our food. After finishing “The Omnivore’s Dilemma” I’m making a lot of decisions for our family that will make our meat selections more conscious.

Thanks for sharing your interview.

I’m in the middle of reading his book, I’m not sure where he is going… it feels like the vegan route. I just tried to Google him to find out if he is vegan, and maybe he isn’t! This is an interesting article here: http://supervegan.com/blog/entry.php?id=1360

It doesn’t seem like he gets as detailed in the solutions as the thought process.

It is an interesting read.

Thanks, Dawn
