Animals Used for Food

Organic and Free-Range Meat Organic, free-range, free-run—what does it all mean, and how "humane" is it? Foie Gras 24 million ducks and geese die every year for the foie gras industry, which is illegal in Holland, Sweden, Israel, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, among others.
