You know, its not like I don't know that feedlots and such are noisome and have some definite problems, even beyond the possible animal cruelty aspect, but do we have the space or can we afford the price if all animal products came from "family" farms? I don't want the self-righteous indignation, I want the facts on other workable possibilities.

Well, that and I want the end to farm subsidies. I understand that there needs to be subsidies in the form of balancing (otherwise farm product prices would vary too greatly, and too many farmers might go out of business) but the current subsidies benefit the few way too much, and get us in trouble with other countries over that whole free trade thing.
