Family Farms vs.

Factory Farms

Generally, when a person hears the word “farm,” most envision green pastures, rolling hills, and plump, happy

animals grazing on fresh grass; these are the places that most Americans assume our food still comes

from…

(DeBrice)

However the “farms” where American meat, dairy, and eggs are produced more closely resemble this;

no green grass, feces runoff everywhere, and extremely unhealthy animals…

Before factory farming became the country’s main way of producing mass amounts of animal products, animals were humanely killed and sacrificed for human consumption in a

manner that, for the most part, justified our means for doing so by killing animals only to survive.

(Radke)

Due to our access to healthy alternatives, it is not necessary

to slaughter even half the amount of animals that are killed for human consumption

By eating vegan, people are not supporting the factory farming industry which could possibly lead

to the demise of family farms.
