Hatcher Speech Summary
It was 1996 when Hatcher first watched the video produced by People for the Ethical Treatment for animals or PETA. She was gathering research for a school project when she stumbled upon a video about industrial farming. “I started learning about industrial farming, which I knew nothing about before,” said Hatcher. “If you were to ask me when I was 15, ‘Where do chickens come from?’ I would have imagined a cute little farm with red silos and chickens pecking all around.”
Not even close.
Though the idea is pleasing to hear, it couldn’t be farther from the truth, said Hatcher. The tempo of Hatcher speech is already fast, but the more she talks about these animals it becomes even faster. “The conditions some of these animals are placed under

    Deep Economy Bill Mckibben Summary

    Not only this, but “the farmers profit margin dropped from 35% in the 1950 's to about 9% today.” (Mckibben, 54) This means that “to generate the same income as it did in 1950, a farm today would need to be roughly four times as large.” (Mckibben, 55) As a result of this perpetual growth and centralization, problems like “huge sewage lagoons, miserable animals, vulnerability to sabotage and food-born illness”(mckibben, 61) have become commonplace. Not only this, but “we are running out of the two basic ingredients we need to grow food on an industrial scale: oil and water.” (Mckibben, 62) The situation has become so dire that “we are now facing a near simultaneous depletion of the underground aquifers which have been responsible for the unsustainable, artificial inflation of food production.” At this point of realization, Mckibben begins indulging the reader in a large number of facts that promote a more localized form of farming as the solution to a seemingly endless number of issues. Initially the point is raised that “sustainable agriculture leads to a 93% increase in per-hectare food production.” (Mckibben, 68) The next idea raised is that, “since World War 1, it has been cheaper to use…

    How Did Cyrus Olvilley Contribute To America

    Have you ever thought of where your produce comes from? If you have, then you’ve probably thought of the supermarket, or more logically, a farm. In a barnyard they have all these different kinds of animals; cattle, pigs, chickens, maybe even horses. The farmer always takes good care of his animals, but what about all the other stuff, like his crops? Crops are one of the most important things on a farm. They need to be tended and cared for, like the animals, but they also need to be harvested. Back then in the 1800s, it wasn’t as easy as it is now. Farmers had to harvest their crops by hand, and it took some back-breaking work to do it. They needed something or someone to help generate a tool to make collecting crops easier, and with his skill and determination, that’s exactly what Cyrus Hall McCormick did.…

    Trader Joe's Observation

    When technological advancements gave possibility to mass production, also called Fordism, the American agriculture system has ushered in a new era of rationality and standardization in production. In a profit-driven and efficiency-oriented, farming was gradually getting mechanical, chemical, and biotechnological. In addition to delivering the knowledge and techniques to farms, economists found “it was necessary to decontextualized the farm enterprise from the community and household setting in which it was embedded” (Lyson, 2004). There used to be mostly family labor in family farming. In order to overcome the problems in labor division and transform farming into a fully functional assembly line, social relations must be separate from the production and viewed as “externalities”. Thanks to three agricultural revolutions, in late twentieth century an increase in production can be finished with less labor as well as less…

    Bernie Sanders Speech Analysis

    At the Bernie Sanders rally, he used a variety of techniques while presenting to the group. I noticed when he hit key talking points in his argument; he would use his hands that would elicit a stronger reaction from the crowd. He read his audience demographics well by hitting on housing cost, minimum wage and the high cost of tuition (all very important concerns of college students). However, there were some points he made I felt to be confusing. At one point in his speech, he mentioned how Native Americans were taken advantage of in the past. He tried to say that we should follow the Native American’s lessons and live with nature (and not destroy it with fossil fuel and natural gas exploration). It seemed he used a fallacy to connect two…

    Down On The Factory Farm Analysis

    Singer’s article criticizes factory farms for industrializing their farming practices and sacrificing good animal husbandry practices for increases in production. Singer indicates the ridiculous amount of animals affected by factory farm mistreatment by stating “[t]he use and abuse of animals raised for food far exceeds, in sheer numbers of animals affected, any other kind of mistreatment” (“Down on” 19). Singer evaluates the reasoning behind factory farmer’s unethical practices, and concludes that “farming is competitive and the methods adopted are those that cut costs and increase production” (“Down on” 20). By cutting costs and increasing production rates factory farming industry workers accumulate more wealth, and consumers are able consume more meat then physically necessary. One can evaluate this luxury the “Principle of Disproportionality” which states that “[a]ctions that meet nonbasic or luxury needs of humans are prohibited when they aggress against the basic needs of animals” (Sterba…

    Chemical Monitoring and Management

    You might never have visited a sugar plantation or wheatgrowing farm, but you eat bread and sprinkle sugar on your breakfast cereal, so producing these foods seems quite understandable. What is “hidden” is that farming (in general terms) uses vast quantities of fertilizers, pesticides and other chemicals which are the products of an “invisible” chemical industry. We do not generally buy and use chemicals such as sulfuric acid, sodium hydroxide, ammonia, or 1,3-butadiene, so we don’t appreciate that these chemicals are consumed in vast quantities to manufacture the everyday things we use and need. This topic will give you a glimpse of that “invisible”, underlying industry which is vital to all the others...…
