“I have no problem whatsoever with big farms or “corporate farming”.”

Then you probably don’t know much about it or obtain your income from it. People who know about the reality of corporate farming don’t generally like it.

I mean whats to like about a chicken that grows in a cage too small for it to stand up. For a calf to do the same because theres not enough veal. Or for turning dead animals back into feed for the live ones.

That may be true, but it could be changed. A lot of people seem to think that having a lot more people dedicated to smaller farms rather than fewer people working on larger farms, or "corporate farms". I don't what that idea is based on. Were we better off when small family farms were the norm? Not hardly. Nevertheless, if you want to work a small family farm or an organic farm you're free to do so. And I think that's great.
