Dale Lasaster has a ranch of bulls in
Matheson Colorado
He does not do anything at all to them other than give them food. He lets them roam the ranch eating grass and Lasater does not hormones, steriods, or anti-biotics.
Thinks that nature is healthier than trying to do things for the cattle
Set up Lasater Grasslands Beef company to sell organic, free range, grass-fed cattle

Low prices of fast food do not reflect the real cost it has on society
Annual cost of obesity is now twice as large as the total revenues for fast food industries

USDA is supposed to promote US agriculture and police it
FDA is also a food safety agency
OSHA makes rules for the work place and can fine or shut down companies for not following the rules

Labor unions can cause inefficiencies when they have to much power, but without the labor unions corporations can violate labor laws with impunity

Large agribusiness firms strife criticism of their policy
Passed in 13 states
The laws make it illegal to criticize agriculture commodities in a manner inconsistent with

Fast Food corporations could help change work safety for employees of their suppliers
They could also demand higher wages for workers of their suppliers
Helping out the supplier’s workers would not make hardly and difference to the major food chains such as McDonald’s
Helping wouldn’t raise menu prices much if anything at all

They aren’t bad people, they are business men
Consumers can get healthier food if they stop buying the unhealthy food
The executives will do whatever it takes to make money
A refusal to buy fast food is heard over words talking about how bad it is
You can make your own decisions on what to eat
