Drawing upon 40 years’ experience as an ecological farmer and marketer, Joel Salatin, dubbed “The high priest of the pasture!” explains with humour and passion why we no longer have freedom to choose what food we buy and eat. From employment legislation to meat inspection and health and safety regulations, governments and bureaucrats decide what food is available in our local marketplace. Their system favors industrial globalisation and corporate food supply chains while discouraging community-based food commerce. The result is homogenized food products, loss of diversity, mediocre taste and drug and pesticide-based farming practices.
