NY Times editorial: “the worst way of farming”

In case you missed it, the New York Times has an editorial on the Pew Commission report (I am a member of the Commission, as I explained on a previous post) and on a similar report from the Union of Concerned Scientists. As the editorial explains, farm policies have turned “animal husbandry…into animal abuse,” and policies about animal confinement need rethinking and revision. My question: how about enforcing existing laws while we are at it?

Marion,

Thanks for mentioning the NYT editorial about the Union of Concerned Scientists’ recent report on the problems with confined animal feeding operations or CAFOs.

I thought you and your readers might like to know about a UCS web feature that promotes alternatives to CAFOs. “Green Cuisine” profiles farmers and chefs around the country who work together to grow and serve local, organic food.
We’re in Michigan for our latest installment:
