farming. but this lawsuit is more about the conditions in feedlots, where animals are crowded into pens so tight they can barely move and must stand for weeks in a pool of manure and urine while they are essentially force fed grain- not their typical diet- that has been doped with anything and everything from growth hormones to full spectrum anti-biotics to combat the the inevitable diseases inherent of living(?) under such conditions. so if you eat meat, buy it from a local producer that free ranges and grass feeds their animals, has them slaughtered close to home and uses sustainable and bio-intensive methods. you might pay more, but you get a quality product and you get the added benefit of knowing where you food comes from and who produces it.

industrial agriculture is killing us and it's killing the planet
