Just on the principle of the whole thing."<BR/><BR/>In the dairy cases of my favorite regional grocery chain there recently appeared a line of products in clear shining glass containers. Low-fat milk, strawberry and chocolate milk, heavy cream, etc., all looking luscious and pure in their recyclable containers, with info about tenderly-cared-for, hormone-free, personally named cows and other green facts. Oh, was I thrilled to get away from plastic, from massive anonymous dairy factories, and get back to good green grass, to cows milked lovingly by hand by almost-local farmers (they're in Missouri, I'm in Iowa).<BR/><BR/>I was happy to see such attractive 21st century agricultural output that I hunted them up online. Heartland Dairy - great name! <BR/><BR/>Turns out my hard-earned dairy products dollars were going to support Heartland Christian Academy, where they take incorrigible teens and make them stand up to their waists in cattle manure. And other biblical tough-love measures. <BR/><BR/>So I feel your pain.stingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03703422829076246992noreply@blogger.com
