farm factory presentation

From our presentation today on food factories I learned a lot of new information that I never knew and that was truly interesting. I never in my life for example thought that it took a 6 month worth of shower water to supply the production of a single hamburger. I also never knew how exactly veal was made, as I always thought that it was just the meat of calves. I had no idea that they were forced to have a liquid, iron deficient diet and that they were kept in small cages to prevent them from having an exercise that would enable muscle development. Furthermore I definitely didn’t know about or knew nothing about gestation cages and how cruel this method of breeding pigs is to the pregnant mother pigs.
