Oprah show: How we treat the food we eat

[Sangiovese]

I am curious if anyone saw today's Oprah show "How we treat the food we eat" and what your thoughts are on what effect it will have (if any) on the factory farming industry?

I don't watch Oprah very often so I didn't get to see it. I definitely would have watched it if I knew she was doing a subject like this.

I just went to oprah.com and read the article. Ryan Armstrong, an egg farmer was saying its going to be real expense to raise them cage-free and it will be expensive for the consumers. He said also that he may lose his farm, but look at the other farms that are letting their animals roam free and they are doing just fine.

I don't mind if I pay a little extra cash so the animals can roam free. They need to be out with mother nature, roaming out in the sun.

Vote YES on Prop 2

How about don't support factory farms at all, because animals shouldn't "belong" to anyone or grow up as peoples slaves. In the end even "cage free" animals are just as much owned as any other, and used for human profit.

There's another thread about this....

Yes, I watched it. I thought it was a good start. It deffinitely didn't go into far enough detail, but I think perhaps it's a good stepping stone to further episodes.
