I’m not going vegan. When I sent that article to my daughter, we discussed where we’re going to raise the pigs.

We’ve already got cows, chickens, and two enormous gardens. Now pigs.

And the problem isn't just our own food, but what about eating out and eating away from home? Church potlucks, neighborhood barbecues, play dates, birthday parties, stopping for food while traveling.... this is ridiculous.

For a few years now I have felt like a food quality snob when reluctantly eating somewhere other than home. I know the cons of farmed fish and non organic meat, and could control that at home. Now even home will not be a haven. I will have to order from a rancher online who says he does not vaccinate and will not.

It was hard to give up farmed seafood in many ways but after I learned what they feed them it was a no-brainer.

If only we had space for pigs and chickens. And no, given some particular circumstances, we can't really move to such a place. Sigh.

Perhaps there are small producers not too far from you. Most of us don't use the methods of Big Ag.

I have local sources. The problem is all the places not home that we eat and therefore cannot control.

We have a myriad food issues already that make eating away from home arduous. This is one more.

How do you go to Thanksgiving dinner and deal w that?

Bartering will come in handy. Choose your currency wisely.
