It is discouraging to learn that many of the efforts that my family and I take to be "green", "environmentally conscious" and "humane" are just window dressing and empty practices that have been sold to us by those who profit from the status-quo. While these green & humane efforts don't actually improve the situation or problems at hand much (if at all, really), they are an easy way to pacify most of us who have good intentions by giving us the warm & fuzzy feeling that we are making a difference. After all, it doesn't take any real sacrifice to go from regular eggs to cage-free or to order the free-range pork at Chipotle rather than the burger from Wendy's. We can have our cake and eat it too. I feel like I just took the red pill. Great info. Keep it coming. If you can get a Texan like me who was raised on BBQ & steak to start to become more conscientious about this, you're getting somewhere. Thanks for posting this John.
