Factory farming has been an American Industry for many decades already. basically all that factory farming is the process of raising animals in confinement at high stocking density, where a farm operates as a big corporation a practice typical for big business such as Tyson. The main products of this industry are meat, milk and eggs for human consumption. There have been issues regarding whether factory farming is sustainable and ethical. What damage does it bring to us as consumers and wether we inflict significant damage to the animal anatomy. The way animals are raised on factories with food genetical engineered to grow the parts that are mostly consumed by consumers, this makes some bacteria grow in their intestines. Successfully turned into walking biological weapons. Regulations and better conditions could do something about the bacteria growing. But I suggest the meat being exposed to some type of cleaning gas before being packed.

I agree with this 100% This is not safe at all. I don't know why ethics don't come into play in this industry. What if someone close to these law makers or government officials came down with a case of e coli? Would they change? Capitalism brings out the worst in people. I think the grossest part about that is that they're genetically enhanced. That ties well into this animal cruelty article.

Factory farming is just another way for businesses to earn money and earn it fast. They don't care who it hurts, just as long as their clientele is consuming it, nothing is wrong with it at all. I'd like to know why the government isn't stepping in to fix this. Why do we have to rely on ourselves all the time to make a change? It's pretty sad actually. The government or the big businesses wont tell us what's going on with animals and our food. It's a good thing we have different organizations to help inform us.

ReplyDeleteWhile I do agree with your viewpoint about doing something to prevent bacterial growth, I think it would be counterintuitive to put cleaning agents on the meat before it is packed. It would make much more sense to make sure that the cows aren't prone to bacterial growth. Better farming would prevent this plague all together.
ReplyDeleteHere's some of the stuff that they use to clean meat:

If my hypothesis is wrong, what cleaning products are you suggesting?

I agree with your viewpoint, all farming isn't the same any more. Tyson is a big company that doesn't raise animals the correct way, instead they raise their animals by chemicals. In my opinion, farming is different now because all the big companies like Tyson are taking over and giving us corrupted food. Farming should be done without engineering and be done by hand made.

I do agree with your viewpoint but if these big companies like Tyson are making so much money doing what they do already. If they cared about the food they make it than we wouldn't have any complaints toward this company. This shows that the companies don't care about our health so your suggestion wouldn't mean a thing to them as long as there making money doing the job they do. This leads me to believe that the only way to ensure your eating safe food is to grow it out yourself which is very unlikely to happen in urban areas. It's a no brainer though that they shouldn't be making the food the way they do but I don't see anything being done about unless people stop buying this garbage and once the company loses money than I can see things changing but for how long will that last? and will people actually do something even after they are aware of this situation?
