What you have written about I would guess echos with many who are now seeing how our food is raised. I had your same belief that “They” would never put anything harmful in our food. Now I know different. Living in Kansas and driving past many feed lots in Western Kansas you learn very quickly that the mighty dollars rules. Raising food in filth does not make sense to anyone!
Thanks for the great read.

Bravo! Well said! I am passing this on to everyone I know. I love the positive spin on all of it.

I am eager to read this book. It hit the nail on the head I believe. Running a school food service it amazes me how people, even well to do people, think that cheap food is a God given right. Even if it is done on the backs of others. Decent food paid for with fair prices and wages is what will help us become wiser and healthier. My very humble opinon.

Great article! I live in Kansas where there are more meat packing plants then trees hehehehe.
We are so good at not looking at our meat. I am a food service manager for a private school, we served real chicken thighs, bone on. I was shocked that the kids refused to eat it because it still had the bones in it! Thanks chicken mcnuggets! They would eat it once we removed the bones. I am serving it again this year LOL! They will learn.

Wow. Great read. This is America and it is so sad that this is happening here. Thank you for having the courage to write about it.

This made me giggle. My father-in-law, will not touch a can of spam. He was on the front lines in the Asian arena, and they did not eat well. Spam three times a day.

I bought this book many years ago at a grage sale. At that time I had no idea who James Beard was. Now it is a well worn, often read book that I treasure.
