Family farms are a world away from the gigantic feedlots and CAFOs we have now.
At least on family farms, the animals were housed and treated much better.
Individuals treated their animals better than Corp. boardrooms and CEOs do.
That said, the planet would be much better off if we all switched to a plant based diet.
Technology now allows us to make faux meat from brewed microbes and plants, as well.
For the sake of the planet, we should be embracing that.
