PS:  Whoever is using the term "factory farm" needs to stop it NOW.  I grew up on a farm and the word has very special -- and very emotional -- meaning.  That's why Big Ag uses it against us.  These are animal factories for sure.  Cruel and unusual absolutely.  But emotional buzz words are the mantra of Big Ag -- and we walk right into their trap when we use "farms" in our communications.
