Should Factory-Farmed Foods Be Labeled?
Our modern energy-, chemical-, and GMO-intensive industrial food and farming systems are major contributors to man-made global climate change. Confined Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) play a key role in this impending disaster. Yet despite the health and environmental hazards, the vast majority of consumers don't realize that nearly 95 percent of the meat, dairy, and eggs sold in the U.S. come from CAFOs. Should we label factory-farmed foods to help address the environmental impact of factory farming?
