Effects of Factory Farming
Positive
-People who dislike tofu and beans can still get cheap, easy protein.
-The cruelty that occurs is more incentive to become vegetarian than a simple feeling of kinship with animals.
-Some progress has been made toward stopping animal cruelty due to shocking videos from factory farms.
Negative
-Questionable sanitation in factories can result in food poisoning and disease.
-Small farmers are pushed out of business, and fresh food becomes harder to attain.
-People stop asking where their food is coming from and enable companies to continue their monopolies.
