just a little news update.

last night i just made some chicken with some csa food. 
roasted red potatoes and some red lettuce. delish. 


but this post is really for this:


“Factory farms have already forced out many small producers by lowering the price that farmers are paid for chickens and pigs. The tough economic times are hitting everyone hard and many farmers are losing their contracts. The USDA has bought up surplus pork, chicken and eggs for nutrition and school lunch programs to absorb some of the over-supply, but still, the agency continues to back loans for new factory farms.”

                     -food and water watch


the money is behind factory farms but let's change that. it seems overwhelming and that we could never change the farm lobbies. but like they said in food, inc. we thought that about the tobacco lobbies but we stopped them.
