In defense of Kermit, I have to say that every feed lot I’ve ever seen was a horror. My son calls the huge one in the Central Valley of California “cowschwitz”, a play on words for Auschwitz, the German concentration camp.
The smell is so foul, it can be sensed miles away. The cattle are so forlorn, your heart would break. They stand in urine and feces soaked mud. It’s a living hell.
And everything I’ve read about industrial (yes, industrial…meaning from the cattle industry…) says that unless you are raising organic, grass fed beef, your meat will have a bunch of antibiotics in it. For you and your children to eat.
Now that can’t be good for anybody, including the cattle.
What I think Kermit is saying is that corporations have taken over our food production to everyone’s detriment and that we can do better.
Just sayin’.
