Meet your meat - The transformation of animals into food

Life on the farm isn’t what it used to be. The green pastures and idyllic barnyard scenes portrayed in children’s books have been replaced by windowless sheds, tiny crates, wire cages, and other confinement systems integral to what is now known as “factory farming.“ Today the majority of farmed animals are: -confined to the point that they can barely move, -denied veterinary care, -mutilated without painkillers, -and finally slaughtered -- often while fully conscious.
