Today is the day I have been looking forward to watching the Oprah show. If you did not get a chance to see today show please visit http://www.oprah.com/dated/oprahshow/oprahshow_20081008_animals
Oprah discussed along with farmers on both sides of Prop 2. It was interesting to see the industrial farmers trying to rationalize the horrible confinement of most farm animals. Before I read Skinny Bitch I really had no idea of what industrial farms were about. I was completely naive I'm sure just like many Americans of where our food comes from. It was amazing to me to see the difference between the free range chicken, pig, and veal farms as opposed to the industrial farms. I still can't believe to this day why anyone in the world would even eat veal! I truly believe in, you get what you pay for. As a mother I am willing to pay extra for my organic groceries knowing that it is not only free of pesticides, chemicals, and artificial colors and flavors but it is also good for the environment and humane treatment of animals.
Oprah for me is the queen "hail Oprah" lol. She has so much influence over many women that I believe today she truly has brought more awareness to this issue and would not be surprised to see the demand for free range eggs, poultry, beef, and pork on the rise.
I love you Oprah.
