It is a hard subject to read about but a necessary one in my humble opinion.
This book is an eye opener to the problems of factory farming. No easily made solution is clearly presented though on how to correct the system in place other than the thought that "the world will shake it off like fleas"... There are steps each individual can take on a personal scale, which really wont impact factory farming on a larger scale. The whole factory farming system will not be going anywhere anytime soon. People are too in love with the cheap cost of items, and with the taste of meat, for it to go away in this generation or the next.
I would be interested in reading more about the side effects of humans consuming animals raised in factory farms versus grass fed free ranging animals that live on farms as they were hundreds of years ago. I think the medical side behind this issue would cause more steps in changing the system then the animal welfare unfortunately. I am not okay with the treatment behind how factory farmed animals are created and treated but I am guilty of comparing the prices of meats in the deli and buying the cheapest that also stills has good enough flavor.
