Factory Food Artificially Cheap Response

Ethan Huff makes an effective argument about certain grown food products decreasing in price, and decreasing in quality. He makes the claim that prices of foods like meats and dairy have decreased because of cheaper production; animal factories. Instead of animals grazing hundreds of acres on family owned farms around America, they are now mostly cooped up in less than satisfactory animal factories. It is dirty, over crowded, and not maintained like it should be. Diseases and infections between animals are easily spread, so the owners inject the animals with antibiotics and hormones. This is turn effects the product and even the person consuming the product like in the article "Why Factory Farms Threaten Your Health". Huff also makes the claim that feces and animal waste run off from the factories goes into water supplies, effecting the environment. He claims, in his last paragraph, that the cure to this craziness is " ending cash crop subsidies and reverting back to an agricultural system that respects the land, encourages local farming and employs clean and natural methods of growing and raising foods. I think this argument is very successful in appealing to the audiences emotions and in factual information. If we all invested in and ate organic foods, we could send a message to the FDA and aid the small farms around America, while helping ourselves by eating healthier.
