Pig farming: Are Factory Farms Affecting the Health of You and Your Family?

These farm factories can have a devastating effect on the environment. You do not have to be living close to one to suffer the negative effects, but if you do then you could be at a higher risk.To begin with there is so much waste produced by the massive numbers of livestock that are kept on these farms that it is impossible to dispose of it in a safe manner. It sometimes gets mixed up with water in lagoons that are designated for this. This liquid is then used to fertilize cropland. The problem is there is so much of it used that it creates a runoff which can then contaminate the surrounding underground water supplies.Once this water becomes contaminated it then contains horrid ingredients such as antibiotics and growth hormones which are favored products used to beef up the livestock who the original waste came from.Then along with this, there is the great negative contribution these massive farming operations are making to the pollution. It takes a massive amount of machinery to operate these farms. You can just imagine the gas and oil fumes that are floating in the air, thanks to this.Yes, the world needs to be fed. There is no point in providing all the food one could possibly consume if the process of providing it is going to be detrimental to their health in other ways.As a society we need to keep our common sense about us. We need to find ways to make production of our precious foods by farmers who maintain the motto of giving back to the earth what you take out of it. Farmers that are running this type of business care about their impact on the environment, and the health of the consumer of their products.We can help with this. We can support our local farmers who are doing things right by the book of life, and saying no to any mass produced food that has such a large price to pay by way of our state of health.One of the easiest places to start is in the supermarket.
