Call me crazy, but I want to know where my meat is coming from. We raise our own beef, chicken and goat on our farm, but buy in our pork. This means that I have to ask around and find a supplier, then get to know him or her. That way, asking the hard questions about feed and medical care, how they feel about the life quality of the animal are things that I want to know about and can come up in the conversation, without an issue. It can become awkward if your questions come from your emotions and not from facts.
Here is a free download from Sustainable Table, that shows what the words mean when talking about meat and how it is treated, raised and processed.
