The Societal Ramifications & Consequences of the Making and Taking of Food

This site dedicated to the matters of food above and beyond the mere satiation of flavors on one's palette; but rather the ramifications to society from the consequences of how its' production, distribution, and nutrition affect living systems. How we sow, reap, harvest, legislate and base our economic systems on food is key to how we ultimately treat each other and the Earth.

Audicast Righteous Porkchop Nicolette Hahn Niman

So now we are called the swine flu H1N1? As if nothing we did mattered. Our dirty little secrets of factory farming. With every decision and choice we make from moment to moment we move either closer to heaven or closer to hell. yet, the good book tells us in heaven, the lion will lay down with the lamb. Baba Hari Daas told me that the struggle between heaven and hell is not a battlefield elsewhere, indeed- it is being fought right here and now.

Does factory farming fit your idea of heaven or hell on Earth?
