Educate Yourself About Your Food!

I find myself having frequent discussions with people on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and even Pinterest whenever I post an article about health, animal cruelty, or the environment.

I have noticed that most people respond with their opinions instead of with factual information. It's difficult to have productive conversations when this is the case. I recommend that everyone educate themselves before responding to posts on social media sites.



Here are some resources that I recommend:
