in all seriousness though, i've lived in Wisconsin my entire life and it's funny to me how websites like PITA and chooseveg.com don't show any smaller dairy or beef farms in the Midwest...on my drive to school i probably pass 10 small farms that have animals just to sustain their family's lives...for so many people that i personally know, farming is their means of survival. of course large scale operations border on cruelty, everyone in America (at least) needs everything quick and cheap and those objectives cannot be fulfilled by giving each animal 100 acres to roam during the day and reading them bedtime stories at night...maybe I am cruel but give me a f'n break.

I'm with you on that one. If it were up to me I'd raise my food, but it's just not realistic. I think it's that way for the majority of all industrialized nations, not just here.

Yes sir. I wonder if there are websites acting against Amish people in the US? There are probably hundreds of Amish families in my area and they are quite different from the "average" US citizen. They pretty much raise their own food, use horses and buggies to get everywhere, use minimal electricity and plumbing, and I'm sure practice many non-traditional means of survival.
