Animal Operations Cost Taxpayers
About Sustainable Alternatives to Confined Animal Feeding Operations
Huge animal production facilities produce over half the meat, milk, and eggs consumed in the U.S. But these facilities, known as Confined Animal Feeding operations (CAFO), are plagued with economic, health, and environmental problems. Currently, confined animal feeding operations have an economic edge over small and medium-sized livestock, poultry, egg, and dairy farms. That's unfair to the farms that use modern, alternative methods to avoid the health and environmental problems that are rife in CAFOs. Misguided government policies are forcing the public to pick up the tab to support these huge facilities. By embracing sustainable alternatives, the USDA could level the playing field for producers that provide high quality, affordable food and that support our health and the resources we depend upon. And these policy changes would save taxpayers billions. Meat and dairy farms should support healthy soil and fresh water, not pollute the foundations of our food supply. Please let the USDA know that you want them to support healthier alternatives. Please tell the USDA it's time for healthier farms: http://go.care2.com/e/6SmT/vPkY/AlVvl

Contributor's Note
Comments:
The USDA should give advantages to the small scale farmers who raise fish in ponds to replace meat. This and the vegan diet are the only way to go in my opinion. Healthy for you, healthy for the animal, and healthy for the environment. Isaiah 11:6-9; 65:25; Hosea 2:18; Luke 5:1-9; 9:12-16; John 21:1-13 says it all.

Agree 100%. You didn't mention that animal welfare is most often ignored for profit in the intensive farming industry.

You're right about that. Thanks

In an ideal world a vegan diet would be great, but converting significant numbers of people to it is much too hard. That makes vegan ineffective as a movement for real social change. A mafist diet (not eating mammals), meanwhile, is a more pragmatic solution.
