Infographic: What’s the Cost of Factory Farming on Our Health and Environment?

While many of us now understand the potential health detriments of meat consumption, have you ever considered the overall health and environmental risks of factory farming?
This infographic lays it all out on the line in an attempt to answer this question: “The need to feed billions of people efficiently (and make billions of dollars off it) has given rise to large-scale animal farming operations. But are these mega-operations helping feed us or making us all sick?”
Take a look at the rise of the factory farm and its impact on public health and our delicate ecosystem for yourself. The answers may surprise (and perhaps scare) you!

There is nothing we can do about it sadly.
sure there is Monica-along with being vegan ourselves we can educate other peopel as to why they should also be vegan. it may not seem like it, but barring a major economic, health or environmental disaster (any and all of which will happen at some point due to the unsustainability of all forms of animal agriculture), imo this is the only way things are going to change significantly in the near future.
