iandwk,
I apologize that you took my post so personally. I should have worded this part of my post differently. I should have said "it is hard to admit to even one's self that one is behaving abhorently". I believe all of us have the ability to justify our actions. And that applies to some factory farm owners.
While I believe that today's factory farms are horrible, or abhorent, I didn't intend to personally attack you -- for goodness' sakes, I don't even know you.
Yes, today's factory farms, whether they are family owned or owned by corporations, are inhumane and produce below-par food. But no, that doesn't mean you are a bad person. You are right -- with our country's current demand for meat, someone has to have the job of providing it.
My intention of asking all those questions, is to point out that there are horrendous practicies in place in today's farming, of which most people are unaware. If the average person in the U.S. knew what really happened on the factory farms, they wouldn't stand for it!
Please accept my apology if you felt personally attacked. I am attacking the practice of all factory farms, not you personally.
