I’m sure I don’t have to do much to convince you that the process of producing food for a growing, and hungry, population is pretty horrifying. The worst culprits are feedlots, sometimes called CAFOs, or Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations.
In CAFOs, hundreds, if not thousands of animals are left to live in horrible conditions, breeding disease and causing terrible environmental damage. They live out their days until the day they’re slaughtered, sometimes never seeing the light of day.
According to FarmForward, 99% of farmed animals in the United States are raised this way. Billions of animals are raised for slaughter in the United States alone.
Not only that, but the leading cause of deforestation of the rainforest is the human food supply. We tear down hectares of trees for crops and livestock grazing. A football field of rainforest is torn down every single second and 100 species are lost every day as a result.
