While vegans and meat-eaters disagree, we can all be united in our fear and hatred for the horror that is factory farming.

More quotes by Joel Salatin
If a job is worth doing, it's worth doing poorly first.
Joel Salatin
Nobody trusts the industrial food system to give them good food.
Joel Salatin
You wanna get diarrhoea? Eat industrial food.
Joel Salatin
The industrial food system is so cruel and so horrific in its treatment of animals. It never asks the question: 'Should a pig be allowed to express its pig-ness?'
Joel Salatin
From zoning to labor to food safety to insurance, local food systems daily face a phalanx of regulatory hurdles designed and implemented to police industrial food models but which prejudicially wipe out the antidote: appropriate scaled local food systems.
Joel Salatin
We should be rolling in the dirt, gardening, wrestling with some brambles and skinning animals for supper. These are important immune system builders.
Joel Salatin
Don't you find it odd that people will put more work into choosing their mechanic or house contractor than they will into choosing the person who grows their food?
Joel Salatin
When faith in our freedom gives way to fear of our freedom, silencing the minority view becomes the operative protocol.
Joel Salatin
Get in your kitchens, buy unprocessed foods, turn off the TV, and prepare your own foods. This is liberating.
Joel Salatin
Farms and food production should be, I submit, at least as important as who pierced their navel in Hollywood this week. Please tell me I'm not the only one who believes this. Please. As a culture, we think we're well educated, but I'm not sure that what we've learned necessarily helps us survive.
Joel Salatin
It's a foolish culture that entrusts its food supply to simpletons.
Joel Salatin
A culture that just views a pig as a pile of protoplasmic inanimate structure, and can be manipulated by whatever creative design humans can foist upon that critter, will probably view individuals within its community and other cultures in the community of nations, with the same type of disdain and disrespect and controlling-type mentality.
Joel Salatin
I see myself today as Sitting Bull trying to bring a voice of Easternism, holism, community-based thinking to a very Western culture.
Joel Salatin
The average person is still under the aberrant delusion that food should be somebody else's responsibility until I'm ready to eat it.
Joel Salatin
You know, in our culture today, our Western, reductionist, Roman, linear, fragmented... culture, we don't ask how to make a pig happy. We ask how to grow it faster, fatter, bigger, cheaper, and that's not a noble goal.
Joel Salatin
If we fail to appreciate the soul that Easternism gives us, then what we have is a disconnected, Greco-Roman, Western, egocentric, compartmentalized, reductionist, fragmented, linear thought process that counts on cleverness.
Joel Salatin
How many of us lobby for green energy or protected lands, but don't engage with the local bounty to lay by for tomorrow's unseasonal reality? That we tend to not even think about this as a foundation for solutions in our food systems shows how quickly we want other people to solve these issues.
Joel Salatin
Even if you don't eat at a fast food restaurant, you're now eating food that's produced by this system.
Joel Salatin
Just because we can ship organic lettuce from the Salinas Valley, or organic cut flowers from Peru, doesn't mean we should do it, not if we're really serious about energy and seasonality and bioregionalism.
Joel Salatin
I'm a Christian-libertarian-environmentalist-capitalist-lunatic. It's a humorous way for me to describe that I'm not stereotypical.
