3 Big Lies from Big Food

Most of the meat Americans consume is from Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations, which are horrific for animals and terrible for our health and our communities.

CAFO: The Tragedy of Industrial Animal Factories, edited by Daniel Imhoff and published by Watershed Media and the Foundation for Deep Ecology, is a must-read and must-see book about the horrors of Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations. With over 400 photos and 30 essays, the book includes contributions from Wendell Berry, Wenonah Hauter, Fred Kirschenmann, Anna Lappé, Michael Pollan and Eric Schlosser. CAFO pulls back the curtain on what goes on inside so-called “factory farms” and what the effects of industrial meat production are on the animals, our environment, our communities, our agricultural system and our health.

This is the beginning of an excellent, lengthy article (or excerpt from the book mentioned above) focusing on, as the title would indicate, 3 big lies the food industry tries (rather successfully) to convince us of.
