The Omnivore's Dilemma Quotes

“The economic logic of gathering so many animals together to feed them cheap corn in CAFOs is hard to argue with; it has made meat, which used to be a special occasion in most American homes, so cheap and abundant that many of us eat it three times a day. Not so compelling is the biological logic behind this cheap meat. Already in their short history CAFOs have produced more than their share of environmental and health problems; polluted water and air, toxic wastes, novel and deadly pathogens.”
― Michael Pollan, The Omnivore's Dilemma
