A River of Waste: The Hazardous Truth About Factory Farms

A heart-stopping new documentary, A RIVER OF WASTE exposes a huge health and environmental scandal in our modern industrial system of meat and poultry production. Some scientists have gone so far as to call the condemned current factory farm practices as "mini Chernobyls." In the U.S. and elsewhere, the meat and poultry industry is dominated by dangerous uses of arsenic, antibiotics, growth hormones and by the dumping of massive amounts of sewage in fragile waterways and environments. The film documents the vast catastrophic impact on the environment and public health as well as focuses on the individual lives damaged and destroyed.

U can really enjoy the life by becomming a vegeterian..why killing the innocent animals and kill them just for fullfilling our hunger. There are many vegeterian foods available to eat.

This is why I kill everything I eat myself. I fish, hunt, trap and occasionally go out birding with my neighbour and his excellent gun dog. This documentary isn't exactly anticarnivorous, it simply deals with the problems caused by factory farming. Vegetarians can live healthily, because they can find the right nutrients from other sources than meat, but that's simply due to factories and the advancements in transportation. Don't patronize us omnivores for eating meat -- it just IS natural.

Interesting film that poses a large conern with the process of factory farming needing a solution sooner rather then later. Meat is life not only for man but for all living things, vegetarians/vegans are no more then a biproduct of the spoon fed culture we live in. Starvation will limit your decision not to eat meat very quickly thus no indiginous vegetarians/vegans exsist. However i respect animals an believe they need rights much like our own, we all must sacrifice to live better.

Arsenic yum yum. Nothing like a deadly poison to brighten up your day. Americans are trying to kill you with food. If the food poisoning doesn't kill you eventually the Arsenic will. Ammonia makes good wax stripper. Extremely corrosive. Delicious stuff that. Check out Rosebud pig farms.

Eating meat IS immoral to most vegetarians/vegans, though for some it's just for health reasons. History shows us how drastically morality evolves, often with fierce resistance from the masses. It used to be acceptable to beat your kids, to own slaves, to have public lynchings, segregated bathrooms & drinking fountains, public seating, etc. It seems the percentage of humans giving up meat is increasing at faster rate than ever before, largely due to exposure of factory farms presented in videos.

I love the taste of Dear, but it cost a fortune in my country.

we dont have much wildlife left, do to the fact that factory farming, and agriculture has destroyed 90% of the natual forrest...

love meat <3

Eating meat is not immoral, but how it's acquired. I have no problems with hunting and fishing, in fact, I think they are the vegetarians greatest ally in conserving wildlife. Cheers.
