Should biotech piggy go to market?
Consumer advocates worry that the FDA is throwing open the barn door to genetically engineered animals too quickly.
By Rebecca Clarren [2008-03-04]

  • We also control the market

    A couple weeks ago I finally decided to just end all meat consumption that didn't come from cruelty free environs. So that means if I do not know where it came from, I will not buy it.

    I do not have to buy this meat. That is a choice I can make. No one...literally, no one has to buy this meat. We can be as in control as we want to be in this market. Stop complaining about Chilean grapes and Chinese peaches and join a CSA, support local farms.

    Do not complain about the dreadful conditions in factory farming while eating your $.99 a pound bacon. Instead, pay more and support something you believe in. And if you can't afford to pay more, then maybe just don't eat the bacon.

    You do not have to buy these things, you do not have to eat them, you do not have to support businesses or farms that try to sell these things to you.
