Its always encouraging to get emails of support, and below is one that really struck me. Suzanne kindly agreed to let us publish it. We are definately getting more attention in the US, especially on a local grassroots level the message seems to be getting through- encouraging signs.
I just finished watching Pig Business on You Tube as the movie has not been released in the USA – as you well know.
I don’t know of ONE local butcher within 50 miles of my home. In fact, I don’t know of anyone who buys their meat from a local butcher.
I live in Lake Worth, Florida and the honest truth is that it appears that most people are oblivious to their relationship with food. Somehow, the line, We Are What We Eat has been lost. You’ve been to the US food stores – what is on the shelves is a reflection of the American shopping habits. I used to be one of those shoppers. But no more. For the sake of our planet, I can not and refuse to contribute to the factory farming menace by buying that meat. Those days are long gone for me. Thank God.
Thank you for all that you are doing.
If anyone does want to organise a screening of the film in the US, or anywhere in the world, you can do so free of charge. Just email us on info@pigbusiness.co.uk
