<<Personally, I love factory farming. >>

Well shit Neo, I'm on the fence here. I'd like to put the profit back in chickens where you get the yard raised that have some flavor. Same with hogs.

Now we get the "they have been given antibiotics" clan against the meat raised now. I wonder how many would rather eat meat off an animal that died of disease.

Trade off's here lad. So many dumb fucks that fertilize their gardens with grass clippings from lawns that are chemically treated and call them chemical free.

Agriculture has a new age coming. There are types of corn that have been developed that have higher protein levels for nations that are underfed. Yellow rice that has been genetically manipulated to produce more vitamin A and sent to underdeveloped nations at no profit that would cure 100,000 cases of blindness a year and hasn't been planted because it's genetically engineered. Tomatoes that don't rot are rejected because they don't have the gene that causes them to rot. And people bitch when their tomatoes rot.
