The other day a classmate of mine started discussing Nature Deficit Disorder, which I had never heard of before. The main theory or idea behind this is that people, mainly children, are spending less time outdoors than ever before and this is leading to a wide range of behavioral problems. Ask a kid where his food comes from and he replies: "the supermarket". Ask a kid where his clothes come from and he or she replies: "the mall". This disconnect from where our food comes from and where all our products come from is an absolute catastrophe. 

If this next generation fails to educate themselves and continues to be absorbed in their screens, factory farms will only flourish. Factory farms are already hiding behind their false bucolic logos and their cheap prices; our planet and next generation cannot afford to ignore such a huge problem.
