In my humble opinion, that is a ship that has sailed, and will continue to sail, for probably as long as this planet turns. Perhaps I am a pessimist, but I'm also a realist: Factory Farms make money....and lots of it. This is how we feed the masses, and the masses don't care about where the food comes from or how it came to be; they only care about how much they have to pay for it, and how it tastes.
Wow, that's harsh, right? Yes, but in that dark cloud lies a silver, maybe even golden, lining: You and I can still do what we do; we can still spread the word about how important small farmers are--how they help the local economy, the planet, and our bodies by giving us nutrient dense foods; we can still buy locally, and write our blogs, and teach our children what's truly nourishing to our bodies. What we can't do is stop a steaming locomotive that will have it's way because it has the money and power to do so.
Focus on what you want and resist the urge to fight what is; that's going the wrong way....and it's exhausting. Stay positive folks! Just by spreading the word we enlighten so many others: That is the way to salvation and a great grass-fed burger!
