New York Times Editorial

June 2, 2008 09:34 by Gene
Growing societal concerns about the aberration of factory farming was illustrated in a New York Times editorial entitled “The Worst Way of Farming” published on May 31st.   Citing recent studies, the piece stated, “…the so-called efficiency of industrial animal production is an illusion, made possible by cheap grain, cheap water and prisonlike confinement systems.”  The more people hear and learn about the significant costs (such as cheap animal feed subsidized by our tax dollars) and consequences of “cheap” meat, milk and eggs (including environmental destruction, animal abuse and human health hazards), the better.  Please read the Times’ editorial and feel free forward it on to others.
