Factory Farming & Clayton,NC

I grew up in Clayton, NC in Johnston County. Johnston County use to be well known for tobacco farming. Now, not many people farm tobacco due to the government. However, many of these small farms have converted into pig farms or corn/soybean farms. While I understand that the business practices of large corporations are not right when it comes to how they treat their employees, I do think that factory farming is essential to our current lifestyles. Because the United States eats so much meat and corn based products, to have enough, everything must be mass produced. In the end you are just killing the animal anyways. It is sad, but it is the only way to keep our society fed and unless you can change our society’s diet, there is no way factory farming will ever end.
