Harvard Tournament - Best Menu In Debate

Dallas Perkins and Sherry Hall of Harvard Debate, Inc.

The headline indicates my opinion and I am standing by it. CAFO stands for "concentrated animal feeding operations" which are a part of the USA national policy debate topic on agricultural subsidies.

From Sherry Hall:

I am excited to announce that I am seeking to eliminate nearly all of the Harvard College Tournament subsidy for CAFOs by securing non-CAFO produced animal products for the food for the tournament this year. I have made changes in my personal eating choices in response to this topic's spotlight on the plight of factory-farmed animals in this country. I was struggling with what to do about the vast amounts of products I purchase for the Harvard tournament. A couple of weeks ago I began investigating alternatives and was happy to find that affordable, locally produced, humanely-raised products are available. I will have information about these local farmers available at the tournament and would be happy to communicate with anyone who is interested in how to find humanely raised, non-CAFO alternatives.
