The other side of last week's video post.  This man is my (and his cows') hero :)

Meet Your Meat

Alec Baldwin narrates this important look into the meat industry, encouraging you to "meet" the meat you have been consuming all of these years.  I have posted this before, and each time feel the need to apologize for the graphic nature of the video; however, I realize now that the only thing to apologize for is the years I spent eating this food without any regards to how it got to my plate, and the support that I inadvertently gave to those who allowed these cruel and disturbing practices to take place in order to get it there.  I hope you will watch this with an open heart, an open mind, and with the understanding that it was made with the intention of highlighting the truths that the meat and dairy industries have worked so hard to conceal all of these years.  Remember, what you dont know can hurt you, our planet, and its creatures.   

In posting this video, it is my intention not to suggest that everyone immediately become vegetarian or vegan, but to shed light on the importance of making food choices that are in alignment with your own beliefs and intentions.
