As a foodie, I am interested in the food and culture world, including the controversial issues around. āCage-Freeā and āFree Rangeā products become popular as more and more people care about animalsā growing environment and the raising model of farms. Humanely feeding catches publicsā attention while being recognized by the majority in the United States. To gain a complete understanding of humanely feeding, we interviewed people from different aspects: the farm owner, the labors of the farm, and the customers who often shop in organic stores. After some surveying, most customers we interviewed do hold a strong intention on āfree rangeā when they purchase food products. In the documentary, we used the voiceover of the farm owner who does not want to show on the screen. He talked about the difference between programs like Whole Food who set clear requirements for their supplier about āfree range.ā Humanely feeding is what the majority pursue today, but the real situation is more complicated considering the land usage and cost. Letās see how a ranch owner raises his lambs with his best efforts.
