What do you do when you find yourself hungry but there is'nt anything to eat at home? Like most people,you probably go to either the nearest store or restaurant. Am I right? Why is that? Why is it that we as people have to depend completely on others for our own livelihood. What if one day that store or restaurant you so desperately depend on just up and vanished? What would you do? What would any of us do? Would we starve to death or would we make good use of the skills,knowledge,and resources Allah (SWT) has blessed us with. Instead of getting in the car and driving to the nearest grocery store,why can't simply go to our own backyards for our simple food needs. Our ancestors and those before us did it. So why can't we? What makes us so different? Have you ever thought about how many places your food has been before it ends up on your table or on your plate? The average person does'nt. Have you ever wondered why people are always ending up sick or contracting some new disease? A 2008 report from the Pew Commission on Industrial Farm Animal Production, a
joint project of the Pew Charitable Trusts and the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, underscores those risks. The
111-page report, two years in the making, outlines the public health, environmental, animal welfare and rural livelihood consequences of what they call “industrial farm animal production.” Its conclusions couldn’t be
clearer. Factory farm production is intensifying worldwide, and rates of new
infectious diseases are rising. Of particular concern is the rapid rise of
antibiotic-resistant microbes, an inevitable consequence of the widespread
use of antibiotics as feed additives in industrial livestock operations.
Largely us humans are to blame. We've created an imbalance in nature and the way things work and the only way to counter this is by returning back to the basics,our natural roots.
