The bill is needed due to the poor quality of food being served to the public. We are writing this bill to improve the treatment and diets of our farm animals. The better treatment of farm animals mean the better quality of produce from the animals. Better chickens mean better eggs, well-fed pigs mean better bacon, organically fed cows mean better milk, better milk means better cheese.
