right on! I don't know if the
tsc here is keeping track or not...but
tsc has been working hard to keep track of their losses and getting more corporate pressures lately due to their profits dropping somewhat.
noone of the feed stores in the four-five city radius of me are keeping track either.
its scary. its city people who think we wallow in filth and treat the animals with no care and who have never seen a live farm animal in their lives other than what greenpeace and other "save the animals" vegetarian groups scream at the top of their lungs.
If only the government funded education system would actually TEACH ppeople about where their food comes from, maybe even make the children see it first hand.
In the cities, even small and medium sized cities, there are LOADS of people who have NEVER seen where their food comes from. they"know" where it comes from...but don't equate the animal and everything it takes to get that animal to their table with the cost to them or that it might be messy, etc.
its a weird worrld we live in. The government who cares about everyone is trying to make food so expensive that noone can afford to grow it!
This is an excellent point. The farmer we get our milk from kept pushing off the visit for everyone to come up and see his farm (about an hour and a half away) My sister said it made her nervous, like there was something wrong, I tried to explain - he is probably thinking city folk are probably scared to death of seeing feces anywhere near their food products, dispite the fact what they are eating/drinking is directly related to that process. Another board I post on had a post of a woman's visiting sisterinlaw saying she was going to turn her in to animal control for abuse because she slaughters her chickens. Then they went to dinner and the sisterinlaw ordered chicken
some people......
