The article I came across has nothing to do with vegans, but maybe it should. Similar to how Tracie McMillan immersed herself into the different types of food work to get a better understanding of how food goes from the ground to the table, Seth Holmes also worked within the subject he was studying. He worked with migrant farmers coming from Mexico into the U.S. to work on berry farms. He learned the harsh ways in which these people work, picking berries for hours on end, seven days a week. He only worked two out of the seven days to squeeze in interviews, but the two days he did work put a huge toll on his body, physically and mentally. When I said this article has nothing to do with being a vegan, it doesn't, but if you take a look at this article, maybe next time you're buying blueberries you'll stop and think about how the farmers were treated during harvesting them.
