Selfish Meat Choices

A free range pig farmer pointed out most people use nothing but price to decide which pork to buy. Some buy free range, not because it is less cruel to the pigs, but because the pigs don’t have to be saturated with antibiotics the way they do in cages and they don’t want to put antibiotics into their bodies. Basically, most people are effectively accepting small payments from farmers to give permission to the farmers to torture pigs. And we wonder how slavery, child labour and third world sweat shops managed to persist so long.
