    As a Swedish dairyfarmer: sure, there are bad apples everywhere. But the majority of us loves our animals and if they don't get treated well they don't produce well.

    But we need you consumers to help. Visit farms when possible, buy local or at least farmer-owned brands with high standards. Show that you care, vote in the EU election. etc.
