Industrial farming makes more and better food available to more people.
People are qualified to draw their own conclusions.
True.
What do you think of this? I think vegetarianism is unhealthy, but I don't think the choice for each person must be either the "Meat Matrix" or no meat.
I notice the difference from brand to brand and from store to store. One of the most striking differences is in the whole chickens. Some brands have no yellowing to their skin, it looks sickly white and translucent. And when you cook them, especially if you fry chicken that looks like that, this whitish stuff that looks like albumin oozes out. It's edible but it isn't wholesome, and if you compare it flavorwise to a healthier bird, well, it ain't right.
Anyone who has raised chickens, especially someone who has let them free range and forage during the day will tell you: no comparison.
Mass production is good, and I'm glad that we have cheaper food available. But, where I can, I'd rather have farm fresh from a grower who is not too greedy to grow really good food. Or homegrown, of course.
