In this short interview Michael Schmidt tells us why responsible food choices matter. The food freedom movement goes hand in hand with the Occupy Wall Street movement to end corporate control over every aspect of life. Michael Schmidt is a biodynamic dairy farmer who has a holistic understanding of working with the animals and earth to produce the best quality food. Please read this article on the #OccupyBigFood movement there was a large rally to ending corporate food today in Zuccotti park.
