I'm surprised noone has mentioned the documentary "Food, Inc." [...] But chicken and pigs are a different story and we're much more careful about what we buy.
i've been semi-veg (no red meat) for about 30 years, semi-locavore/urban homesteader for half that time; Food, Inc. still surprised me, and made me even more picky about when i will eat any fowl
speaking of follies, have you heard about the folks who trademarked "urban homestead" and variants -- they then set about using the DMCA (speaking of follies) to shut down Facebook pages of assorted bona fide users of the trademarked term (despite the fact that trademarks, distinct from copyrights, aren't eligible for DMCA protection); one page that was shut down belongs to Denver Urban Homesteading, a business in my neighborhood owned by a friend of mine
