Not really sure what to put here…I usually put relevant excerpts, but that got this post deleted for doing that

    Factory farming is a huge reason for disease outbreaks.

    Yes

    And they’ll package up your food without a thought other than the money they make from it.

    No. Most people want to do good, they don’t want to hurt others. They don’t care about the lives of the animals, but most farmers, factory farmers included would hate to know that they led to people getting mad cow disease.

      Ordinary people are not rich capitalists who can earn massive profits by cutting corners. That’s not just against animals either, think of the conditions human workers have been subjected to.

      That’s very… naïvely optimistic when it comes to big business.

      I’m sure they’d be upset to know that they’d be losing money if a recall happens, but the vast majority of factory farms WILL cut corners dangerously close to make more money.

      “Don’t get caught” is the golden rule for the bottom line.
