Animal Agriculture is Threatening Our 10,000 Lakes
Published by the Minnesota Reformer
Whenever I travel outside of Minnesota, the people I meet often comment on the state’s 10,000 lakes. I like to inform them that, contrary to popular belief, Minnesota actually has nearly 12,000 lakes. And those lakes are the heart and soul of Minnesota living. I will never forget the moment I first dipped my toes into Lake Superior, or when our family dog took his first-ever swim in White Bear Lake, or the times I’ve kayaked the glorious chain of lakes in Minneapolis.
Minnesotans treasure these natural resources and the memories they help make, but few realize that industrial animal agriculture is threatening these precious spaces.
