What Have We Gotten Ourselves Into??

So my post today doesn't really have anything to do with FFA but apparently NEEDS to be part of Ag education!


My sister sent me a picture she took of an Ad in the Kroger Sale paper!





She thought it was interesting that people in advertising thought it essential to put "Humanely Raised"



My Sis thought that only Vegans and Vegetarians thought about this kind of thing!

So, I emailed her back.

Actually lots of people that do not have a connection with Animal Agriculture have seen so many horror stories from the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) that they have such a fear that the animals raised for food consumption are not treated humanely!

I want to give y'all some food for thought...

These groups are not promoting the kinder treatment of farm animals; they are promoting the abolition of farm animals. They want to make it prohibitively expensive to raise animals for protein.

HSUS is not affiliated with any pet shelters, and they hardly give any money to local pet shelters.

The President of the HSUS posted on his blog last March...

"We believe in the Three R's - reducing the consumption of meat and other animal-based foods; refining the diet by eating products only from methods of production, transport, and slaughter that minimize pain and distress; and replacing meat and other animal-based foods in the diet with plant-based foods.


If you don't believe me check it out!! Do the research for yourself. The REAL answers are out there not the celebrity/TV version to sucker you in!


I want you to look at the Ad again. Notice anything funny or perhaps something most of us would consider an oxymoron?


Perhaps you noticed like I did that according to this Ad we can all now enjoy a Vegetarian diet with 100% Organic Meat!!

Not sure many Vegetarians would appreciate this advertising blip!

So we're all wondering when is she going to get off her SOAPBOX and get to the point.

My point is people are not educated about Agriculture as a whole and especially Animal Agriculture!

So if you want to know the facts, do the research yourself because then you have no one to blame but yourself.



Next week I will give you an update on my time spent in Covington helping out with FFA Super Saturday!
