[QUOTE="burroughs85, post: 1730314, member: 42429"] Certain facts exist regardless of the profitability of farming regardless of the love or care for animals: people need food, farmers and ranchers need to make ends meet. Naturally, I would want wholesome foods conducive to good health free of soiling and contamination without compromising animal welfare to boot. Food also has to be affordable for my budget. Farms for the consumer markets also are not in business to be not-for-profit. It's a tough equation to crunch. Mass production of foods might degrade food quality as well as animal welfare. The root of man's economic problems lies in world overpopulation. Too many mouths to feed. In the old days, a percentage of Americans were into some sort of agriculture and there were fewer mouths in this world to feed also. I question the level of sanitary conditions regarding food production and food handling in the old days, however. The notion of cow dung or rat droppings in my food grosses me out. [/QUOTE]
