I came here today to talk about what's wrong with our food system.

that I'm really amazed at how easily kids are led to believe

and pretty much everywhere else you look.

that really isn't good for us or the planet.

I also used to think that all of our food

where pigs rolled in mud and cows grazed on grass all day.

on the internet, in books and in documentary films,

I discovered the dark side of the industrialized food system.

First there's genetically engineered seeds and organisms.

That is when a seed is manipulated in a laboratory

to do something not intended by nature --

and putting it into the DNA of a tomato -- yuck.

Don't get me wrong, I like fish and tomatoes,

to cause cancer and other problems in lab animals.

And people have been eating food produced this way

And most folks don't even know they exist.

Did you know rats that ate genetically engineered corn

had developed signs of liver and kidney toxicity?

These include kidney inflammation and lesions and increased kidney weight.

And don't even get me started on the confined animal feeding operations.

Conventional farmers use chemical fertilizers

that they mix with the dirt to make plants grow.

They do this because they've stripped the soil of all nutrients

from growing the same crop over and over again.

Next, more harmful chemicals are sprayed on fruits and vegetables,

When it rains, these chemicals seep into the ground,

Then they irradiate our food, trying to make it last longer,

from where it's grown to the supermarkets.

how can I change? How can I change these things?

I discovered that there's a movement for a better way.

I decided that I'd rather be an organic farmer instead.

And that way I can have a greater impact on the world.

This man, Joel Salatin, they call him a lunatic farmer

And so for that, he's called crazy by the system.

I want you to know that we can all make a difference

by buying our food directly from local farmers,

or our neighbors who we've known all our lives.

Some people say organic or local food is more expensive,

With all these things I've been learning about the food system,

it seems to me that we either pay the farmer,

Now I know definitely what one I would choose.

I want you to know that there are farms out there --

like Bill Keener in Sequachie Cove Farm in Tennessee --

and whose pigs do roll in the mud, just like I thought.

Sometimes I go to Bill's farm and volunteer,

kids will eat fresh vegetables and good food
