    I'll probably get flamed for saying this but that's partly or largely because working conditions in factory farms and in the fields are so bad few here would take the job. Pay is low, conditions are worse than dangerous.

    There's a high cost to cheap food whether it's lamb chops or lettuce. It's one of the reasons that I try to shop locally raised, smaller farms when I can.

    But they are hiring. For those looking for work the UFW says please, come http://www.takeourjobs.org/
