  What a waste

  Imagine for a minute that the recall had been effective and all that beef had actually been disposed of.  How many (relatively) healthy cows would have been mixed with the downers?  How much water and food and energy would have been wasted?  I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but maybe industrial agriculture (especially when we take into account the costs to the environment, the animals, the workers and the local communities are factored in) isn't the most effective way to feed the masses.

  I work with an organization that makes it easier for conscientious eaters to find good food.  Check out the Eat Well Guide to find small-scale family farms and the local businesses that distribute their goods throughout the US and Canada.On Despite biggest meat recall ever, 37 million pounds of suspect meat made it to schools. posted 1 year, 9 months ago 13 Responses
