Nearly all of the meat in America (99% of chickens, 98% of pigs, and 70% of cows) come out of factory farms that are heavily dependent on antibiotics, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals.

Fewer than 2% of farms reject chemical inputs and are actually rebuilding soil and ecosystems rather than depleting them.

Regenerative farmer Joel Salatin argues that what America desperately needs is a Food Emancipation Proclamation.

His proposal is simple: remove the regulatory barriers that prevent small, chemical-free farms from innovating and selling directly to their neighbors.

Healthy, chemical-free local food prices would drop 30–40%, he says.

Ordinary families—not just the wealthy—would be able to afford real, healthy food.

Thousands of young farmers would finally be able to make a living on small acreage.

And millions of consumers would have the freedom to walk away from the industrial system.
