The meat and poultry industry constitutes the largest segment of American agriculture. This contributes to the high number of meat productions in the industry. Americans frequently eat meat, eggs and drink milk, but this is not good for us. Industrial agriculture is the main reason why the way food is processed is not safe for human consumption. Factory farmed animals are trained to grow faster than the average animal, so the portions of food they produce are larger. These animals are sprayed and fed harmful pesticides and antibiotics. These harmful substances are then passed from the animals' bodies to humans who consume them. A major problem in the fast food industry is how animals are processed. In fact, I argue that poor factory farming contributes to E. Coli disease, environmental pollution, and inhumane treatment of animals. People are constantly watching what they eat for fear of getting sick. Factory farming facilities are overcrowded, making animals susceptible to transmitting diseases to human consumers. William C. Roberts, editor-in-chief of the American Journal of Cardiology, once said: "When we kill animals to eat them, they end up killing us because of their flesh, chemicals and harmful substances that have no never been intended for human beings” (Roberts 2). The food fed to animals on factory farms and the way they are treated have a negative impact on human health. “Not only are dangerous influenza viruses mutating because of these concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs), but we are also exposed to other very serious bacteria and pathogens” (Freston 2). Consumers who consume dairy, egg, and meat products produced on factory farms may be prone to contracting foodborne bacteria such as...... middle of paper ... disease and pollution of the environment are just some of the reasons why the factor should be completely banned. All of these problems can be addressed through means such as public awareness and participation, pollution reduction programs for small feedlots, and alternative agricultural practices. Although there are many ways to prevent the problems caused by factory farming, many people argue that factory farming is the only way to meet the growing demand for food in today's world, but that it is not necessary to meet these needs. Using alternative and improved methods of factory farming will provide healthier food and better treatment for the animals, but companies don't want to risk having to raise prices and lose profits on the products they make from them. industrial breeding. They simply won't sacrifice the health of the earth or the quality of food just to make a few extra dollars..
