I used links... you can either go to the links and realize that there is plenty of egregious practices with factory farming, and a problem across several states in the United States where they are polluting waterways. This is not sustainable and don't get me started with the origin of H1N1 (Texas that made it to Veracruz, from a Smithfield farm).

And if you think look at these links is just bad practice, well, that is your choice... have a good day, night what have you. I gave you the information. I cannot force you to read it.
