THIS JUST IN: FACTORY FARMING STINKS

While Conagra's getting its slap on the wrist, media outlets like The New York Times and The Nation are clamoring for significant factory farming reform. What is this, a vast left-wing conspiracy?
No, this is a good step in our awareness, but let's get real: factory farming is too evil a system to simply "reform." First it's got to go, then the whole "farming" of animals, no matter how non-factory and quaintly done. And that will go, if factory farming sinks, because anyone who pays fifteen bucks for a hamburger is gonna take a good hard look at the economics of vegetarianism.
