All I can add, as a former Legislative Correspondent and Legislative Assistant is to put in a good word for Medicare and Social Security. Ask about their opinion on specific legislation. Mark Markarian has a great post on how to effectively lobby Congress on animal issues. Creakers vote more then any other demographic group.

The government, which is currently lead by the right-wing National Party, has said that the legislation will not open up national parks, world heritage sites, ecological reserves or the like. All our places, from cities to farms, are part of nature. Nature won’t respect that line, and neither will most people.

.: One message is that there's nothing wrong with eating animals, and in fact it's fantastic and thrilling and a win-win-win (people-planet-profits) when you eat animals that were "produced" by Polyface Farms. The moral of the story is that it's all about the way we farm animals, not that we farm them that is what needs changing.

To the Editor: Re “ A Farm Boy Reflects ” (column, July 31): Hats off to Nicholas D.
