But through all the meat Americans consume, many Americans don't understand the flaws of how meat is processed starting from factory farms, anti-biotics & genetic manipulation, the health risk, and excess fat.

to make the food that we eat everyday. So many animals get killed each day and people don’t even understand how factory farming is destroying the environment. Some people say how it is good for the environment and some people, like me, say how it is bad for the environment. Factory farming is destroying the environment for a couple of reasons. One reason is that factory farming is killing billions of animals each year. More than 10 billion animals are killed each year so that equals to more…

Not only do they provide milk, which can then be used to make cheese, yogurt and a number of other dairy items, but cows provide much-needed meat products for the homestead family as well. Of course, there are a large number of different cow breeds, so how is the new homesteader to know which is the best dairy cow breeds? My favorite types of cows for dairy products are as…

CropBox Just like growing your own produce in a backyard plot can reduce costs and provide fresh veggies for your household, having a farm to grow foodstuffs in the parking lot of a restaurant can provide the same.

A family friend and farmer taught me fi rsthand about the eff ects of buying local. Buying local could help reverse the trend towards industrial-scale farming, of which the changes in Wisconsin over Mr. Lermio's lifetime are just one example. Buying local benefi ts small farmers by not forcing them to compete with larger farms across the country. Buying local, as was common in the fi rst half of the twentieth century, encourages small poly culture farms that sell a variety of products locally…

Food, an essential ingredient to survive; yet, one of the more complicated things to produce. In the food industry, the market creates products designed around what the consumers want and needs. Although that may sound simple, it is rather more complex than that due to consumers wanting everything from convenient, non-genetically modified organisms (GMOs), paleo, organic, clean labels, gluten free, and affordable products.

Europeans continues to develop more than the New Guineans because they have greater access to resources. The New Guineans have always been disadvantaged because the Europeans have mastered the method of animal domestication and gathering.
