Guest guest Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 You all are very correct in what you are reading about chickens, eggs, pork and the so called ‘organic’ products on the market produced by ‘AgriCorp’ conglomerates. Labeled Organic is not true organic anymore with the how the big guys are getting around what needs to be labeled or not. And as you see cows that are fed organic feed can still be considered producing organic milk, but in the meantime, they are in confinement and not raised ‘naturally’. And confinement housing is very stressful, not to mention in my opinion inhumane. Your best bet is to search out your local farmer, (visit www.localharvest.org for a location close to you), visit his/her farm, see first hand how they raise their products. Do they have their hens in a dirt yard instead of grass? Ask questions. If you like what you see and hear, support that farmer. Even if that farmer is not ‘certified organic’ most times they are raising their foods sustainably and as naturally as possible. Certified organic is not worth my time nor effort as it is meaningless to consumers anymore (IMO). My products are ‘naturally grown’ and humanely treated. Makes for a much better life for all on my farm. Emily, take your anger to the nearest friendly farm, sit in a field, let the sun shine on you, listen to the sounds of nature, and maybe if you are lucky, a herd of cattle or hogs will settle down for a nap with you.

I saw a " cellular therepist " (Think that's what she was called... you know, with the chakras and everything... really just did it for fun) last year on vacation, found her in this little town in the country... and she told me that I need to be able to better let go of the anger I have towards the worldly issues before it kills me, which led me to personal meditation and such... but it's hard! Especially when it's all around us! " I say... we all pitch in for the cost of a few acres each, and start our own community! " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 Hi Kathy :)Thanks for the link! When I was growing up in Wisconsin, we used to visit local farms for many of our foods. Since leaving and landing in such a big city like Detroit when I was about 13 (mom re-married), being unfamiliar with the surroundings, etc, we did not do that anymore. I'm eager to check it out, and hopefully something will not be too far from me :)Blessings and Love always,~RaavenLegacyManor <legacymanor wrote: Your best bet is to search out your local farmer, (visit www.localharvest.org for a location close to you), visit his/her farm, see first hand how they raise their products.
