6. If we don't factory farm like this, we cannot eat as much as we want whenever we want.

While I personally am open to discussion about limiting access to food beyond financial issues (the only limiter to access in America), many people consider it a fundamental principle of living in capitalist America. The belief that one should have access to as much food as one can afford has led our prosperous country down the road of factory farming. Unless we address this ideology, my prediction is that factory farming will continue to grow and get more toxic.
