The recurring debate over giving one extra sq. foot to chickens on the farm cracks me up. If you are going to eat them at the end of the day, how does it matter?[/quote]
If you visit the French countryside, you’ll see that their agriculture is much more humane and sustainable than our big agri-businesses. There are plenty of free-range chicken farms and pasture where cows walk around. In France, you can stop at small village all over the country and buy artisanal products. The products are fresh, flavorful and healthy. In America, when you visit the country, you see Walmart stores.
If you travel to the small farming towns in the USA you can find the same thing as in France not just a Walmart store. But what would I know actually owning a small farm with livestock?
