I'm a 'City-Girl' Trying to be a 'Farm-Girl' But You Won't Let Me - An Open Letter

Hello Baby-Boomers,

I am what you call a 'City Girl'. And a 'Millennial'.
I am, however, an 'Old Millennial' at almost 32 years of age. I do relate to most Gen-Xrs better than most of my 'Generation'. I also do come from a long line of 'Educated City-Folk'. So by all rights of classification I am a 'Millennial City Girl'. Seriously, though, most Millennials scare me.

I am on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and Twitter (though Twitter isn't really my hotspot). Social media is a part of my existence. I can learn most anything I want on YouTube (like tiling a bathroom) or Google (How to de-skunk my dog). I do still enjoy the smell of new books and reread old favourites until the bindings fall apart. I am 'plugged in'. I am hardly reachable on my house phone (we only have it in case a babysitter doesn't have a cell). Call, text or instant message me, I have my cell phone basically everywhere I go. Never call me at home. I love alternative rock, classic rock, 90s punk and grunge, and even the occasional pop song.

I live in a 1960's bungalow in town with my 'picture family' of a husband, two kids and a dog, though I don't have a picket fence, yet. I even drive a mini-van. I love my Chucks, Birkenstocks and Lulu Yoga pants. I am first and foremost a 'City Slicker'.

Factory Farmer Exposes Industry

Factory Farmer of 22 Years Exposes the Truthful Horrors of the Industry.

When CompassionUSA got the call from Craig Watts, they were shocked. 

Not only is the factory farm normally restricted and off limits to the public, but certainly a no-go for farm animal rights advocates, like CompassionUSA.

You may wonder why he made that call,  since factory farms such as Perdue claim complete transparency in their practices. 

This video, produced by CompassionUSA and narrated by a Perdue contract factory farmer, Craig Watts show precisely why.

It also shows why groups like Moms For Real Food Initiative promote and educate consumers to seek out and buy from small, local and sustainable farms - going to them, seeing the animals KNOWING where their food comes from.

If we all start doing this, it will stop the horrid conditions seen in this video.
