And no, WE WERE NOT DESIGNED TO EAT MEAT. There is an abundant amount of evidence that vegetarian diets are more healthful than the average American diet-treating or reversing heart disease & reducing the risk of cancer. Research has shown a low-fat vegetarian diet is the most effective way to stop progression of coronary artery disease or prevent it altogether. Diabetes, obesity, gallstones, and kidney stones are much less common in vegetarians. Thank YOU very much.

No the problem isn't the industries themselves. They wouldn't exist or operate on their own. It's the PEOPLE who buy the meat and keep them operating.

@foulkesy123456 You've made a good point. I apologize. I should have been more specific when I made that statement. What I should have said was something like, "In the area where I live (rural Ohio), over 99% of the meat sold in the supermarkets comes from enormous factory farms where the animals are abused like those shown in the video." You are right that local small farmers do sell meat to the local butcher shops. But not our big sellers like Walmart.

Yet another pro-vegetarian video that seems to see factory farming and responsibly managed, free range meat as the same thing. Rather than discouraging people from eating meat all together, we should be educating people on perhaps eating less of it and making sure to respect and rear the animal in a way that means they have the best life possible.

@grabsolar I'd be interested to know where you pulled that "over 99%" figure from? I thin you'll find that in the vast majority of dairy cases, this is NOT standard practice in most countries. Similarly, these small farms you talk about don't just provide food for their families and many sell to butchers, farmers markets and to the higher welfare chickens in super markets - those are called small holdings. Please check your facts and think about your argument before you say something.

@chaseindie they don't exactly have other options and aren't at the top of the food chain...

[grabsolar]

Sorry, Abby, but this is the "standard" way that animals are treated- this is where most of your meat, eggs, and dairy products come from (over 99%). Those other "happy" farms that you're thinking of are almost all very small operations, mostly to provide food just for the farmers and their families.

@Abbyxbaybee hahaha bud, they can grow lots of them, the world wont end that way, and factory farms are how we feed the world. Although there are some stupid cruel farmers, but they never show the good ones

[MRDEKALB17]

maybe its time for pepole to get used to how the world is fed, its an animal, they are grown to be killed and yes used for a meal

[MRDEKALB17]

@hhhfgdg yeah friggin farmers, dont need those to feed your lazy ass...
