Currently in SA, it is near impossible to know where one's food comes from and how it is produced. The package labels are ambiguous and misleading, or simply offer no information. Unless consumers ask questions and demand answers, there will be no transparency in our food industry. At the moment, our food is the cause of widespread environmental destruction and cruel animal exploitation. I want that to change.

Free range? Not so much...
If you live in the Western Cape (South Africa), you'll probably know of a brand of dairy products called Fair Cape Free RangeTM. You may have felt compelled to purchase this dairy in the place of another brand, “because it’s free range”. Well, I did: if you are going to consume dairy, free range dairy is the ethical choice, isn't it? The bottle even says so:
Labels:
beef,
calves,
cows,
dairy,
feedlot,
free range,
graze,
labeling,
milk,
pasture,
total mixed ration
