SWA #17 Factory food artificially cheap, bad for your health

This article was very informative and quite disturbing.  I think that it is disgusting and disgraceful that the animals are given a "genetically modified feed that is foreign to the animals' native diets"  and that the feed is "infested with rodents and feces."  Who in their right mind would ever be interested in eating such things?!   The author claims that we need to revert back to the old ways of agriculture on trusted family farms and get rid of factory farming.  I agree with the author because I certainly do not want to eat meat that basically consists of fat and toxic materials.  According to the EPA "at least 47 waterway contamination events that killed hundreds of aquatic animals were linked back to animal waste runoff from factory farms" in Iowa.  Aquatic animals?  These factories should not be killing aquatic animals as well.  Clearly these factory farms are not doing us any good and they must be stopped.  The author is convincing because these reasons are legitimate motives for wanting to return to an agricultural system.  The factory food system is definitely something that needs attention in our country.  All animals deserve to be treated with respect and we deserve to eat foods that are rich in nutrients, not foods that are grown and raised with hormones and harmful chemicals.
