Raising Your Own Food
There is always food scares in the news. The latest was tomatoes. The problem is that our Government is trying to regulate small farmers while allowing the big companies to pass on tainted food to the consumer.
This is why many people are returning to the old ways and raising their own food. The advantages are that you know what is going the ground or what you are feeding your animals. Growing a garden is no longer just about saving money. It is now a matter of health.
I started raising chickens last year but I am thing of expanding into raising a pig and a cow. Of course, our wonderful Government is trying to regulate us small hobby farmers to protect the national food system. We are not the problem, it is the large feed lots and large food suppliers who are causing the unsafe food supply. I know my chickens are safe and the eggs I get are very healthy and safe.
If you are in a situation where you can not raise your own food, buy local from farmers who care about their farms and are not just trying to make the quick buck.

Couldn’t agree more but on the other hand I’m raised on a farm. If you know how your food was made you can feel perfectly safe even though animals can be a bit nasty themselves sometimes.
