Hulu - A River of Waste: The Hazardous Truth About Factory Farms - Watch the full movie now.
I watched this documentary on Free Speech TV yesterday. I thought I was knowledgeable about the issues involved but its much worse than I knew. Many people dying but not just from heart disease, cancer, etc from eating meat. In many areas of our so-called "beloved heartland", entire communities of children have died because they lived near a meat producer.
Sadly, that doesn't matter to the big businesses who produce the poisons on our plate and in our environment. And, incredibly, the Rs want to do away with the few safety regulations that are currently in place and largely ignored because its cheaper to pay a piddly fine than to actually change the way they do business.
Only after the last tree has been cut down,
only after the last river has been poisoned,
only after the last fish has been caught,
only then will you find that money cannot be eaten.
So goes a well-known Cree prophecy, to which we should now be paying heed.
