Welcome

While blogs have been around for quite a few years, I've resisted creating one. I didn't want all my personal information online for everyone to see -- and I still don't. But I've decided to start a blog anyhow, for two reasons:

1.) I want a place where I can store all of the information I find online regarding animal rights, the environment and health.

2.) I want to be able to share this information with friends and family and complete strangers.

As stated above, this blog will primarily focus on animal rights, the environment and our health. For some of you, these issues may seem disparate. But you will soon discover that all three are interrelated.

I hope to keep this blog informative but also a bit sarcastic and funny. We'll see how I do.

As for the name -- Digging Through the Dirt -- it can be taken a variety of ways. I'd like to get back to nature by starting a vegetable garden. But more important the goal of this blog is to sift through the misinformation that various industries throw at the public and to allow my readers to know the truth about their health, the Earth and its animals.

Thanks for joining me as we begin digging through the dirt.
