@ITWEETMEAT (and you should too) just not my location

I have a real affinity for Chris Raines of  @ITweetMeat wtih both being Penna. state boys with luv of hunting, I've learned to appreciate his thoughtful, friendly and accurate tweets.  I know he is respected academic in meat processing science as such he has shown himself to be an impartial advocate for better food choices especially as it impacts processed meat and poultry products.

Therefore, I was surprised (and chagined) to learn of his experience in talking with small regional food processors about using online tools to better connect with their customers and colleagues.

"They won't do it."  Chris claims.

iTweetMeat @hungrygarden Many will refuse to do this out of fear from animal rights groups.

They're fear animal protectionist stymies their participation in online discourse and commerce.

Now Chris is smart dude and after asking him impact of explanation that they can control the privacy of their actual physical location WHILE participating in online discussions.

iTweetMeat @hungrygarden Have tried sharing that, but they just won't bite. Scared folks.

This is the nub of the "privacy" problem we got in this country.

Without commenting on the effectiveness of animal rights groups, this is still A TECHNICAL PROBLEM in sense that really small meat processors DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW SOCIAL MEDIA WORKS and therefore they are making it hard FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS that ARE USING SOCIAL MEDIA to find them.
