Actually I think you are mistaken about the cause of this. It is the vast number of silly government regulations that are the problem not a lack of regulation. My mom went on her firs mission trip to New Orleans after the hurricane and was told she was going to run a field kitchen for the SBC disaster relief unit. She went down to where the got the food and was loading up on bags of potatoes and vegetables when the administrator said they had to get all prepackaged stuff because they had passed all of the requirements for institutional cooking and the fresh stuff had not.
She had not made mashed potatoes from anything but potatoes since, well, ever and was not pleased about having to use the instant, potato like substance they made her use.
Ultimately, you are what you eat.
I tried to convince my wife that were "natural alternatives" to knee-related birth control, but that turned out to be a tough sell too.
The original birth control pill is an aspirin - held firmly between the knees. ;-P
One would think that most animals that end up being prey feel fear before the slaughter — whether they are slaughtered commercially, or after being chased. Not seeing a lot of predators dying due to excessive fear toxicity of their meals.
I’m not really buying into the evils of commercial farming. A farming system that raises more animals to maturity using less resources and less time can produce more food for more people. This is a good thing.
Reminds me a little of the liberal groups that raised hell that people in impoverished countries were being fed genetically modified crops. Apparently it is better to starve than to eat pest-resistant crops.

Now that’s funny. A., see post #4 for a snicker.
We watch Anthony Bourdain on the Netflix beeber. He’s a goofball, but I’m totally loving his South America shows. I could *so* move to Chile and have another nine children!
There is natural birth control, but it involves one’s knees.
Has no one heard of condoms or pulling out? I know its high tech and all, but it works. There are other strategies I won’t go into. Shoosh.
Or Uruguay.
Many now consider it unnatural to have any children. I am not joking.
Sadly, I suspect we won't be able to have that many kids, but when my bride and I talk of wanting more it makes a lot people annoyed.
If those sows were afraid, they didn't show it. My Dad had a strain of war devil hogs that would charge bulls, and make the bull run.
The bigger danger of the large factory farms is that you are increasing the likelihood of a disease outbreak. To many concentrated in one spot.
It does for women who ovulate at the same time every month, such as myself. I planned all four children that way and got pregnant whatever month I wanted to.
Works for some of us.
He was referring to the industrialized farms where the pigs are kept in a confined space and not allowed to move. They are fed through mechanized means and their waste matter removed on conveyor belts.
pulling out? you’re joking of course or sadly mistaken.
