You started out with this....

<<Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations.   Huge feedlots where the cattle are 'finished' before slaughter.>>

And led right into this.....

<<
If you're interested in how your food is produced, read The Omnivore's Dilemma by Micheal Pollan; The End of Food by Paul Roberts, and watch the documentary Food, Inc.

Those will make you reconsider how you eat. Certainly did me. >>

Which led me to believe that you had a very nonscientific view of CAFO's and modern ag.  If I was wrong, I am terribly sorry.
