A lot of the counties have farms too. I agree with MIKE above, it's a money thing.

If they need meat, make them do aquaponics for fish!

I have worked with Prison Fellowship for years, basically teaching prisoners useful skills so they can become productive citizens. I'm a horticulturist who has used moss for more than 30 years, and knowing where it may have come from gives me great joy!
