In the past two days I've read two different articles from two different magazines, both that mention the impact that the large corporate animal farms are having environmentally. Essentially the run-off from the chemicals and the manure is polluting our water supply. (Self and Vegetarian Times)
I have decided (once again) to forgo any meat products that I can't source from local organic farms.
I am so skeeved out right now that I can't even contemplate a burger...
Anyone else concerned about the garbage we're putting in our bodies? or are drinking? (for those of you who don't know, DC had a HUGE issue this past year with lead in our water...that no one bothered to tell us about- and that would be BOTH the locals and the Feds. Nice, huh? People's home were found to have 3000 times the acceptable levels of lead in the water. It was from the chemicals they used to treat the sewage- it leached the lead from the ancient pipes we have here in the city)
