"Agvocates"- The Reason We Need the Humane Society

1/29/2017

0 Comments

 
The pictures below are one of the reason that farmers are pissed off at the industrial food supply and one of the reasons that we need the Humane Society to stand up for independent family farmers raising niche livestock.  Its not the alternative farmers, the niche farmers, or even us granola crunchy hippy organic farmers that are creating the noise and confusion in the marketplace.  Its the big players.  Examples of three random labels from our local grocery store of Hormel (Jennie-O), Tyson, and Smithfield below.  These are three of the biggest players in the meat and poultry industry.  The other big players all have very similar labels.  I could find a lot better labels.    I'm challenging the "agvocates" to clean your industry up and quit blaming us for your problems.  These are the companies you guys are aligned with.   I just don't see anyone asking all of these commodity farmer advocates why the companies they are aligned with are using the misleading labels they are railing against.
