We Can Either Pay the Farmer, or We Can Pay the Hospital!


11-year-old Birke Baehr really knows his stuff about healthy farming practices and nutrition, as showcased in his TEDxNextGenerationAsheville talk. Baehr stresses shopping locally from farmers' markets, buying organic food, and educating people (especially children) about where their food actually comes from! There's a common misconception about where your meat comes from and how the animals are treated; Baehr argues that above all else, educating people about the malpractices that take place on these farms is the top motivation for the general public to eat better!
We agree and think Baehr is absolutely inspiring—some might even say a future Darin Olien!
