No one wants a factory farm in his or her back yard, but as long as we continue to eat animals, they will have to go somewhere.

The Environmental Protection Agency and the meat industry can hash out all the air pollution regulations they want, but it is up to each one of us to stop the spread of factory farms.

A healthy, vegetarian diet can help alleviate animal suffering and prevent communities from having to live with the unbearable stench and environmental degradation caused by these mega-farms.

Factory farms make animals and people sick.

By adopting a meat-, egg- and dairy-free diet, we can put an end to these awful places.
