north carolina has a long way to go and just one example. i heard these stories in texas, california, in the central valley where the mega dairies are taking over and, of course, in yakima valley where people are drinking poison in their water probably because of agribusiness. so when we go to reach for that pork chop in our goeser's, you know, meat section, we don't think about elsie, but maybe we should because she had to breathe the fumes and be sprayed with the waste water that went into raising that pork chop. and someone said to me, we all live downstream, we all live downwind. which it's true -- and it's true. and that sort of leads to my final point which is where is all this going and what's going to happen to us and to these farms? and rick, you know, and in my book i describe taking these polluters to court. i describe lots of things that go on in washington, lots of laws that they're trying to pass to make things better. you can sue all you want, you can write all the laws you want, you can try to reform these cafos into universa
