Birke Baehr: What's wrong with our food system

source: http://www.ted.com/talks/birke_baehr_what_s_wrong_with_our_food_system.html

Vierotchka
11-year-old Birke Baehr presents his take on a major source of our food -- far-away and less-than-picturesque industrial farms. Keeping farms out of sight promotes a rosy, unreal picture of big-box agriculture, he argues, as he outlines the case to green and localize food production.

Birke Baehr wants us to know how our food is made, where it comes from, and what's in it. At age 11, he's planning a career as an organic farmer.

      Well i see this kid has been trained well in stupidly by PeTa and H$U$ to tell us what is need to make farms run .. you know these people who won't eat meat think they its evil to do it as well. So they can lie on how farms should be run but have no clues to what it really takes to make a farm work and get food to our tables, I am sure this kid thinks he knows how but if you dig I bet you find evil of Animal right groups behind him this kid is just another drone of BS from PeTa and H$U$ talk about made in a lab this kid is one..

    • Awesome Talk. I posted it a couple of months ago. So much important information. I'm starting to think that America is incapable of making responsible choices when it comes to healthy food and food sovereignty.
