Charlatan

FYI: male chicks are gassed, en masse, shortly after birth. This happens regardless of whether or not the operation is industrial or free range organic.

I agree, BG, industrialization isn't going to go away anytime soon. That said, there are aspects of the system that could be improved to make the short lives of our livestock less miserable and the end product better tasting and increasingly healthier.

For example, the corn industry and its use as feed in cattle feed lots (not to mention the feed lots themselves) or the number of chickens squashed into battery cages (not to mention the batter cages themselves).

There are many better practices that would make things better but would increase the cost of food and reduce the amount of meat and dairy available on the market. It would take a massive shift in how and what Americans consume to bring about this sort of change.
