I personally believe this is what make a better world. Not food in a box, but taking personal responsibility for raising and dispatching what you eat. It grounds you in the reality of what food is, and teaches you a respect for not just what you eat but how it gets there. There's an honor that passes through that process that most of the modern world cannot comprehend because their food is acquired the same way their TV is, just walk into a store and pay for it.

When raising your own food, you become intimate with not only the animal, but the land you're feeding the animal from. It make you more conscious of the cycle of life and your ecosystem. It provides healthy food for consumption, and also begins to heal the soul as you mak connection with the world around you in a meaningful way.
