Would be nice if people did a bit of research, our money being spent in the right places would change the industry.

every dollar we spend on food is essentially a vote.
buy a burger at mcdonalds? buy a turkey from superstore? you just voted for the industrial food system. (antibiotics, hormones, feed lots, animal abuse, the most expensive environmental option and a major pollution source)
buy a burger that is produced locally? you just voted for keeping your money in the community, helping local farmers, promoting the ethical treatment of animals, most likely antibiotic and hormone free, the most environmentally freindly meat, the product with the lowest carbon footprint and probably the tastiest and healthiest meat to give your family.
think about the choices you make, know where your food comes from, how it was raised and how it got to your plate. most importantly, vote accordingly!
