I just got done reading some chapters of another book for one of my other classes and I'm really astounded but not surprised by what I did read. I read alot of some of the practices of farms and more importantly large-scale farming that is owned by huge corporations. There is alot of discussing about how these conditions are so unhealthy for humans and yet nothing is being done to stop these practices, I'm mostly talking about the CAFO's. Lots and lots of animals that are confined in small areas, some are inside and some are outside, but they eat, sleep and poop all in the same area. Anyway, this is not helping anything, our soils and waters are suffering from all this. Not a great way to get food on the table. I dont know that this falls in the realm of a sustainable business or not but as far as it being all that great for the environment, well its not.

I just hope for the sake of the people that are working in these places that something can be done.
