Does having a federal inspector basically say "don't tell me about the still alive calf on the pile of dead calves because I'd have to shut them down if you told me that" count as a lapse? Isn't that conspiracy of some kind? The most awful part of this (for me) is seeing how many people have come out to say they don't care about this.

Rob, you need to get in touch with Eli at Healthy Living and get some yak on the shelves!!! Speaking of Eli, I asked him if any of their meat came through this place and here is what he had to say:

We are proud to say that not one piece of meat that is sold at Healthy Living comes from Bushways. Two weeks ago (even before this story broke) I took a small group of HL staff down to the processing plants where we get most of our meat from. Over the Hill Farm in Benson, VT and Clark’s in Ferrisburg, VT. Let me tell you, I saw the entire process with my own eyes, and while slightly sad and disturbing (due to the nature of meat processing) the animals were treated with respect and care. The staff at both these companies did their job well and really cared about their jobs and the animals. At Healthy Living, we really try to make sure that your food comes from clean, respectful, reputable sources. We research this ourselves instead of taking the company’s word for it. That way; when something like this happens; we can be informed and then inform you.
