It must have been wonderful to grow up on a dairy farm! I visited an organic dairy farm in WI last year and fell in love with it. Though I really don't consume dairy, it was so wonderful to see the care and love that was going to the animals and ultimately into the product. Such a model of how all of our food should be tended and prepared. Awesome that you dug through the Pew report. It really is fascinating isn't it? It is amazing how far we've separated ourselves from food in only 20 years. Hopefully, we can look to this more recent history to guide us back to a relationship with our food. I think the shift is happening... Thanks for sharing your experiences Melissa. It must have been wonderful to grow up on a dairy farm!

I've been completely engrossed in it. I grew up on a dairy farm in Wisconsin in the 1970's. The food we ate came from our back yard. We drank milk from our cows and ate meat from the animals on our own farm and from those of the fellow farmers down the road. It has upset me to see what has happened in the last 20 years. My father sold our farm in 1993 and while a nice family moved into our big old house, the large beautiful barn sits empty and I'm not sure what has happened to the land that we owned. The report has made me realize even more how important it is to make the right choices when it comes to what we put on the table. Thanks so much for posting the Pew Charitable Trust Report.
