Factory farms have negative impact on massive scale

Factory farms are destroying the environment and harming animals on a massive scale. Their waste pollutes our water, harms sea life, and creates awful conditions for people living nearby.
And now, these big U.S. meat companies are moving their operations to developing countries, which will hurt local farmers, food supplies, and the environment there, too. It’s like “meat colonialism,” and it’s not okay. We have to care. This impacts global resources and the lives of people and animals everywhere.
On Oct. 2, people across the world will be speaking up for animals on World Day for Farmed Animals. Join in — learn more at dayforanimals.org.
I am volunteering this year to hand out vegan food samples. There are options in every restaurant and grocery store to replace animal products with plant-based foods. We can all do our part to make a difference.

The root of the word “vegan” is not vegetable as is widely thought . It’s actually means “bad hunter”.
While I agree with Hadden vis a vis the impact of factory farming at home and abroad, I disagree with your assertion regarding the origin of the word vegan. Donald Watson, founder of the Vegan Society, coined the word vegan in 1944 as a statement against vegetarians who ate dairy products. He took the first and last letters of the word vegetarian to create his version of vegetarianism. For the record, I am not a professed vegan OR vegetarian. Nonetheless, Frances Moore Lappé (Diet for a Small Planet) and Michael Pollan (The Omnivore’s Dilema and In Defense of Food) have greatly influenced my ability to make my eating healthy, easy and affordable.
