For example, she makes the statement "And some of us pay for it with our lives after consuming tainted food." Compared to what?...100 years ago? 500 years ago? 5,000 years ago when agriculture was started? The FACT that she fails to include is that our food supply (at least in this country) is the safest in the entire history of agriculture.<br /><br />http://realtreetalk.blogspot.com/RealTreeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05055016837494652530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3531617304191579626.post-8166171220582503352010-09-03T20:36:04.473-06:002010-09-03T20:36:04.473-06:00I can't understand why some reporters seem to ...I can't understand why some reporters seem to hate anything ag related. Currently it is one of the few industries that is keeping this country from being totally broke in terms of the balance of trade. Yet it appears to be a target for bashing by the media. I think it's because it is a minority industry with less people involved or even understanding it, so that makes it an easy target for sensationalization of their stories.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3531617304191579626.post-68227064265126038122010-09-03T09:32:51.391-06:002010-09-03T09:32:51.391-06:00It's not "pure hatred" for agricultu...It's not "pure hatred" for agriculture. It's anger at industrial practices that keep tens of thousands of chickens in cages. How is that agriculture? How is that "working with animals"? <br />You guys have to differentiate yourselves from this corporate takeover and abuse of animals. <br />Do you really think chickens should be crammed in cages for life? Really? <br />Let's be done with this and get to some more humane practices. It's not "agriculture" and "farming" that most of us "hate": It's cages and mechanization and indifference.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3531617304191579626.post-20900306336104201572010-09-02T11:02:53.287-06:002010-09-02T11:02:53.287-06:00I'm stunned...even after years of seeing this ...I'm stunned...even after years of seeing this kind of mindless reporting.
