I'm with you. The -only- reason I have sheep, chickens and ducks is so I can know my food. They're cute and fun too, but that's a bonus. We even had a cow for a while. She's in a better place now... we had to buy a new 7 cu ft deep freezer so she'd fit :) I think people would eat more thoughtfully if they knew more about their food.

I have a harder time eating grocery store meat now. I still do it, but I'm increasingly uncomfortable with it. I'd rather fill the freezer with meat that we raised.
