The unimaginable expansion of factory farms is sadly pushing out family farms by making it increasingly difficult for family farms to stay in business. 

According to Farm Aid, every week 330 farmers leave their land. As a result, there are now nearly five million fewer farms in the U.S. than there were in the 1930's.  Of the two million remaining farms, only 565,000 are family operations.

If you don't know about Genetically modified organisms already you should really learn more. Foods grown by factory farms are saturated with GMO's and created by Monsanto. Our food supply is being so manipulated into unhealthy food and we aren't doing anything about it because most of the country is to busy to care.

Did you know Monsanto created Agent Orange? (That's what they used to poison people in past wars)

Farmers that use Monsanto's seeds are terrified, followed and watched to make sure they don't talk about or share their seeds. They have to give back any unused seeds after they plant.

In Haiti after the earthquake Monsanto wanted to rush in and donate GMO seeds to the earthquake victims. Haitians took to the streets protesting choosing to go without and try and make their seed rations last longer than letting GMO's into their country. That took will power! 

There are countries who will not allow GMO's in. At all period! Because of the health risks.

I hope you will read my complete post and let me know what you think.
