Free Range Vegetarian

No, I just envision the existing situation whereby suppliers comply with a specific standard and pass that information on to their business customers who pass it on to the consumers.

but as you said yourself, they don't pass on realistic information about stuff to consumers and are usually always trying to hide the truth from people.

Trying to do stuff by coercing picture out of them isn't going to work very well, other than in their favour by further encouraing people to think that conditions are better than they really are....

But, I do really like your barcode / internet code idea.....

If they have to stop battery farming soon anyway, it will just be a little extra zesty encouragement if a law were passed whereby any animal farmer would have to provide a genuine illustrative picture on the packaging.



If they enforced such a law with vegetables, do you think that people would be as ruffled by it, or that folks would be as reluctant to enforce it ?
I know that's a bit of a side note, it was just a random i thought I just had, was all.

I think that people might be surprised to see the big generic fields of organic vegetables, if they thought of pictoral tiny fields in the rural countryside - or whatever (^-~) but, i think the reaction would be less actively ignorant in many cases, less in denial, more open minded and less dismissive maybe.... I think people could accept that much more easily than seeing directly the reality of their animal-derived 'food' products.

ETA: BTW, in case i hadn;t been very clear about it, that last batch of questions, in the post before my last one, about the different aspects of the restaurants and their potentially hefty free range descriptive literature or meaty pictures, were pretty rhetorical. I'll think about them myself, also.

I reckon the website idea is the way to go, though, rather than having the information directly, given the points we've both been making about the different ways to do it.
