S12. E16: Isabella La Rocca Gonzalez: Censored Landscapes
"The one that really surprised me was the organic humane Certified Egg Farm. I thought Humane Certified would at least mean that I would see some chickens running around somewhere, but it looked exactly the same as any other egg facility. They were just big warehouses. You don't see a chicken anywhere in sight. And then I learned, of course, that this whole free range, pasture raised terminology doesn't really mean anything." - Isabella La Rocca Gonzalez
