The Hidden Link Between Factory Farms and Human Illness

What about the fact that the animals are treated like shit? Doesn't that matter? What kind of brutes are we homo sapiens? How can we continue to treat our fellow animals in such a despicable fashion? Go ahead, I dare you, tell me that factory farming isn't brutal to the animals. How could anyone eat the product of such a inhumane, cruel system? I am happy to say I haven't eaten any meat in 25 years. Something tells me that the Good Shepard, the Creator, the Prime Mover, Governing Spirit, call it what you will, is not going to approve of the way in which his animals have been treated here on Earth. Special criticism will likely be in store for those who have subjected animals to factory "farms". I hope God exists for this reason alone. But don't believe me. Watch some of the videos available at PETA or HSUS websites. A pox on the houses of all those who mistreat animals.

hello i am a factory farmer.i was raised and worked on factory farms all my life and worked with organic and free range farmer friends.three years ago when i was able to start my own farm, after much research are family chose factory farming.here is the reasons.#1 with computer controls and cool pads my chickens are kept comfortable,day and night winter and summer.we give them fresh air and filtered purified water.#2 many companies are using less or no antibiotics, and using more vitamins and proabotics in the feed.#3 with factory farming there is less of a carbon foot print. i could go on and on, but i believe with research and learning better ways, we can make the future.better for the planet and our children. thank you

I believe the antibiotics and hormones cause a lot more human ailments than we are aware of. I suffered terrible migraines up to 15 times a month until I stopped eating meat. I feel better than I've felt in years. I really believe it was because of all the unnatural things the farm animals are fed. I occasionally eat meat from animals that were raised naturally without all the additives and chemical-laced feeds. I take every opportunity to educate people about the slaughter industry and how inhumane and unhealthy it is.

This is the most frightening article I've read in a while. MEN needs to print it and send it to every congressman in WDC. I've already sent excerpts and a link to my delegation.

Michael Pollen was correct in his open letter editorial to President Obama in the NYTimes. We don't need a farm policy in the United States, we need a comprehensive Food Policy.
