This Thanksgiving, let’s ask: are we feeding families—or factory farms?
Nearly 70% of U.S. grain goes to animals in industrial systems, not "people."

This Thanksgiving, Let’s Feed Families, Not Factory Farms | Common Dreams
Nearly 70% of the grain grown in this country—corn, soy, wheat, and barley—never feeds a single human being. Instead, it’s fed to pigs, chickens, and cows packed into industrial animal factories.

You check every label—but the real danger isn’t listed. 😡
Drugs like ractopamine + carbadox are banned abroad but still used here.
Now, Big Ag’s “Save Our Bacon” Act would block state food safety laws.

Again, claims that #Prop12 “dramatically” disrupts interstate commerce are overstated. The law simply sets humane standards for products sold in CA, just like other states regulate safety and labeling.
