Looking at the statuses of each school around the nation, it can clearly be stated that each school is different,…
Through the years people have eaten meat in order to obtain protein. As the population continues to grow more meat has to be produced, causing family farms to incorporate inhumane methods or to become a factory farm. Is this all worth it?

With the cheapest price per pound and a feed conversion ratio second only to catfish, chicken is the one of the most economical viable sources of protein. With the population of the world expected to reach over nine billion people before 2050, intellectual minds must find a way to expand our current food production by almost seventy percent with the same…
Bay, which was “brought to near-ruin by runoff from a stunning concentration of chicken farms” (Philpott). There is absolutely no valid reason to justify putting money in the already huge pockets of these monstrous corporations. This is why choosing a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle is becoming increasingly popular, besides the fact that it is a much healthier way to live.
