SWA9

http://www.naturalnews.com/029854_factory_food_health.html

The central claim in this article is that food coming from animals raised in factories as opposed to smaller farms is much cheaper, but also much less healthy for humans to eat. The reasons given are that the animals are not able to have natural diets and are kept in unreasonably confined areas, problems which lead to disease for the animals and can make the food we eat have all sorts of unhealthy and dangerous things in them. The values behind the argument are that family run farms are healthier and overall better ways to raise animals and plants for food. The assumptions behind the argument are that all factories are bad places for animals and unhealthy environments for the food we eat to be raised.
