		<description><![CDATA[Chapter 15 - Grass-Based vs. Confinement

The irony of modern confinement animal production has been summed up by Allan Nation, editor of the Stockman Grass Farmer in this way (paraphrased): It is the nature of cows to move about and the nature of grass to stand in one place, but with confinement animal production, we have turned it backward and made the cows stand in one place and made the grass move to the cows. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are nearing a dramatic crisis with our food. Everything setup to help keep U.S. citizens fed relies on fossil fuels. As these fuels run dry, food prices will skyrocket in the United States and globally. We need sustainable leaders in office to help lead the way to a more energy efficient food system. Please help keep America's food safe by electing Francis Thicke. ]]></description>
