I live out in the country. Used to live next door to a dairy farm. You'd never drink milk or eat dairy products again if you saw what went on.
There's a pig farm down the road from where I live now. You would never, EVER eat pork if you saw how they are raised. 
Chicken/egg farms are equally horrid. The cows in my area are pretty well treated. They live in pastures and eat grass and hay. Conditions when they go to market and feedlots are, again, horrid.
Folks, y'all don't want to see the way the animals you eat are raised. It ain't pretty. George is right. The industry in the US has evolved to these conditions. The average consumer would not be able to afford meat from small family farms. Artchic, I agree that industrialized farming is gross, but, like I said, the average person would not be able to afford food produced on a small farm.
