I suggest expanding the curriculum. Dan Kelly - Beulah, MI The Institute has added the issue of factory livestock production to the Public Trust Alliance project, coordinated by Patty Cantrell. To learn more about this growing trend in Michigan and what you can do about it, see her articles on pages 19-21.
