CBS: Humane-Certified Foster Farms Under Investigation After Video Shows Abuse, Torture Of Live Chickens

They are leaders in exposing the dirty truth  not just behind factory “farms” but all companies. I always thought Foster farms was one of the worst offenders and am amazed our irresponsible excuse for a government even gave them a human certification. It’s sad that non profit organizations like MFA have to step up to the plate because...

Even in moderation. The experts now tell us they are harmful even in small amounts. FDA Banning Trans Fats From the article on banning trans fats...

Hormel (SPAM) gobbling up Applegate Farms for $775M

Posted by | Jun 2, 2015 | , ,

Hormel Foods, the company behind brands like Spam and Skippy, announced on Tuesday that it was acquiring Applegate Farms, a maker of natural and organic meats, for about $775 million. Applegate Farms for $775M This seems to be the trend for organic/non GMO companies to sell out to even larger corporations so it comes as now surprise.  Right now there is a large cold pressed juice company who our sources tells us is thinking of selling out to Coke (We’ll keep you updated on that one) We’ve already seen Applegate having to recall thousands of pounds of “humanely” raised...
