Land degradation did not start with chemical agriculture. But chemical agriculture offered new tools for annihilation.

How much evil throughout history could have been avoided had people exercised their moral acuity with convictional courage and said to the powers that be, 'No, I will not. This is wrong, and I don't care if you fire me, shoot me, pass me over for promotion, or call my mother, I will not participate in this unsavory activity.' Wouldn't world history be rewritten if just a few people had actually acted like individual free agents rather than mindless lemmings?

Remember, machines don't forgive.

If you have to put on a haz-mat suit to visit a farm, you may not want to eat what comes from it.

You know what the best kind of organic certification would be? Make an unannounced visit to a farm and take a good long look at the farmer’s bookshelf. Because what you’re feeding your emotions and thoughts is what this is really all about. The way I produce a chicken is an extension of my worldview. You can learn more about that by seeing what’s sitting on my bookshelf than having me fill out a whole bunch of forms.

Realize that agendas drive data, not the other way round

While vegans and meat-eaters disagree, we can all be united in our fear and hatred for the horror that is factory farming.
