    Factory Farming: Feast or Famine

    Throughout history, human beings have grouped themselves together in communities. The concept of communities offered two major benefits; first, defense against enemies that might threaten the community. And second, the ability to sustain a constant food source to subsist on year-round. The need for a constant food supply became a major factor in early farming practices (Pollan, 2006) through animal husbandry. The waste from the livestock was used as fertilizer for the other crops that were raised on the farm. These crops were utilized to feed the farmers, sell at market, as well as feed the livestock through the next winter. In this manner, there is a continuous lifecycle on the homestead. The overall mindset is different, first, I will feed my family, second try to make a profit, and third, I will try to keep livestock for the next year in order to grow my farm. When the production of beef became more about profit the respect and love for the land fell catastrophically to the wayside. Modern feedlot operations are creating environmental problems that will affect our country in the future, as well as health issues for consumers, which would to corrected by implementing strong regulations in the handling of feedlot waste and a mandated correction in the diet of the cattle.…

    Factory Farming

    In her article “Down on the Factory Farm: It’s a Life Sentence for Animals,” Debra Probert argues that readers should consider becoming vegetarians in response to the abuse of animals on factory farms. In her article, published in Alive: Canadian Journal of Health and Nutrition, Probert describes conditions that a variety of animals endure on factory farms. Her goal is to convince readers of the abuse that animals endure on factory farms and to argue for a decrease or cessation of meat eating by the public. In this article Probert presents information to prove that factory farms are indeed as atrocious as she claims. Although Probert has a very good argument and emotional appeal when visualizing the conditions these animals are subjected to, she does not give any references to ensure that what the readers are reading is indeed accurate, and she lacks the experience and credentials to support the claims. Probert give details to show readers the truth about factory farming.…

    Factory Farming

    Factory -farming is not only irresponsible and in many ways a form of animal abuse, it’s also an existing danger to consumers buying animal products which aren’t properly taken care of or sanitized. For most American consumers today the concept of where there food really came from, or what kind of life an animal led before it was Sunday’s dinner doesn’t cross their mind. In the past, animal derived food products have been linked to but not restricted to such illnesses as diabetes, osteoporosis, heart disease, and even cancer. Due to the high demand for food production such as meat, poultry, dairy, and eggs, an animal’s quality of life has gone down dramatically in the past years. What does that mean? That means animals are being bred at a higher rate, pumped up with steroids, and being confined to smaller quarters.…

    Factory Farming

    Factory farming by definition is the practice of raising livestock in confinement at high stocking density. Animals are born within the farm which is typically a warehouse, and they may never see the light of day. They are simply another animal growing in a factory farm and making their way to your dinner table. By definition factory farming does not sound that bad, and makes sense seeing as the demand for low cost meat is at an all time high, but in reality it is a cruel act that shoes that compassion for animals is no longer a priority. Despite the fact that it may be a necessity it is not without its obvious downsides.…

    Factory Farming

    With the rising population growth in the United States, food production has greatly changed. Factory farming was developed in the 1920’s; soon after the discovery of vitamins A and D, these vitamins were added to the feed, eliminating the requirement for exercise and sunlight for growth. But what exactly is a factory farm? Factory farming is the dominate source of livestock food for the U.S. Harsh and cruel conditions are inflicted towards the animals which are confined in small cages, the factory’s are inhumane and morally wrong. Simply put, it is a farm that runs like a factory. The dangers of this kind of agribusiness inflict not only the animals but the environment, communities and our health. Should factory farming be banned?…

    Factory Farming

    It is so amazing that most Americans are so caring of the animals they keep as pets, and yet are so unconcerned about the upbringing or disposition of the ones they cook for dinner. It is amazing how some Americans see themselves as sympathizing folks and animal lovers until they reflect on what they just ate. Society loves animals as pets, adopts them as extensions of their families, spend ridiculous amounts of money on them, and mourn their deaths. How is it that these same Americans are so indifferent towards the ones they cook for dinner (Arora, 2013)? Factory farms dominate U.S. food production, employing practices that severely abuse animals, puts an enormous strain on our natural resources, and threatens the Nation’s health.…

    Mass Production of food

    Where does the food we consume come from? We go to the grocery store and always know that the products we want will be there. Nothing runs out and we can pick up whatever we need. Meat, eggs, produce and even convenient frozen pre-made meals. But before we pick it up in the grocery store we never see how the food was grown or slaughtered and we don’t want to see it. If every one saw how our food was really produced most of us would turn to an all natural vegan diet. Chemicals are pumped into everything we eat and drink. Nothing is real and natural anymore. Farms are shutting down and local business are dying. Eating these foods hurts our health, the environment and promotes animal cruelty. Knowing these facts why do we continue to consume mass produced food? Well, it is cheap, easy and convenient. But are those factors worth the decline of your health and the health of your family?…

    Factory farming

    Antibiotics in animals produce unhealthy food. In the article “Understanding Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations and Their Impact on Communities” (Carrie Hribar) it states “This is a serious threat to human health because fewer options exist to help people overcome disease when infected with antibiotic-resistant pathogens”. This shows that when the farmers are feeding and injecting antibiotics into the animals that they stay in the animals system. When humans eat it, it can get into their system which will cause them to become immune to the antibiotics so when they are sick it won’t help because their body is use to it. Some may say, “Nearly half of the antibiotics used are nearly identical to ones given to humans” but when humans get to many of these antibiotics their body gets used to it which causes it harder to get over human illnesses. In general, when medication is injected into something or someone then it will stay within it.…

    Factory Farming

    Many people might not be aware of what really happens in factory farms, or if they do, they tend to turn a blind eye towards it. Our society has a fairytale image of how factory farm animals live: Cows grazing the luscious green fields, hens nesting in a warm, spacious barn, and pigs rolling around in mud enjoying the sunny day. This vision of farm life is far from reality, especially today with demand for cheap, delicious meat rising. Today, billions of animals are born, confined, biologically manipulated, transported, and slaughtered for human consumption. The majority of farm animals are not enjoying the ideal farm life, but instead, they are living in factory farms, also known as confined animals feeding operations (CAFOs) or intensive live-stock operations (ILOs) (Williams, Nancy). The purpose of factory farming is to produce some of the lowest prices in the world for meat, eggs, and dairy products, but is it really worth the cost? Not only is animal welfare at risk, but so is the environment and human health. Factory Farming should be banned in the United States, or even better, worldwide.…
