But since most of us are snowed/iced-in today, I encourage you to watch and respond to the misconceptions during Oprah Winfrey’s show on animal agriculture, CAFO’s and veganism today.
Oprah is scheduled to air a show titled "Food 201" at 3 p.m. CST, where she and 378 staffers go vegan for a “one-week challenge”.
The show will center on food production issues, and will include video about cattle feeding and slaughter, along with other food production topics. The show will feature Michael Pollan, author of "Omnivore's Dilemma," and Kathy Freston, a vegan author and spiritual advisor. Additionally, she is having reporters on site at feedlots and meat processing plants.
This is a true insult to my family and our livelihood on the family ranch.

This show, along with other challenges to animal agriculture including an increase in focus on "Meatless Mondays" and the upcoming release of the film "Forks Over Knives," has created a need to advocate for food choice and to build a stronger sense of affinity between U.S. consumers and the farmers who produce their food.
