At this point, boycotting fair life is simply giving your money to other factory farms who have not yet made these changes instead of the one who has. When this first happened I felt the same way, but in watching this man’s video I really think he is sincere and he came out and reacted and fixed major issues within a couple of days of this video. It doesn’t even matter what the reasons were, the fact is at this point in time, cows at fair life are being treated better than any other factory farm in the country.

I am sure that is true, however, it would be on my mind everytime I had a fairlife prouduct. It`s the least I can do....not buy their products. When something like this comes our about another product......I won`t buy theirs either

It if you buy it from another factory farm you’re giving money to a company that may have worse conditions, while currently Fairlife cows are treated better than probably any farm around because of the changes they made.

Also, a common problem found at "farmers markets" are people who buy their produce elsewhere (they do not raise it themselves) and peddle it as their own.

I suppose I don't know for certain, but many of the people who sell animal products (and a few of the orchards and vegetable growers) at the market I go to have pictures of their farms, cows, chickens, etc. So for example I can see a picture of the chicken yard and the the chickens are out running around, not packed in little cages on top of each other, etc. Most of them also have a storefront associated with their business. For example, the place I buy milk and eggs has an ice cream shop on their farm and they do farm tours and such. I think it would be really hard to cover things up with your customers showing up at your business to buy ice cream or go see the cows and chickens.

The local farmers market I go to is run by the county park authority. No wholesalers/resellers are allowed. I don't know how they enforce it, but I trust they have a method. From what I read on the website there is an application process and it's highly competitive.
