Why is this so important?
Knowing where your food comes from and how it is produced is vital to understanding the systems that run around and in our lives every day.
Large corporations own thousands upon thousands of factory farms, sitting on many thousands of acres of land. Often, these corporations work under the radar, skimming past FDA regulations and animal-humanity laws. These corporations also commonly greenwash, claiming to work towards being "carbon-free" or "carbon-neutral" in the near future, with no intention of reforming and redesigning their entire system to uphold these claims.
These large corportaions also commonly silence whistleblowers and previous employees who speak up about working conditions, animal cruelty, and other topics of interest, sweeping these major issues under the rug.
