Is it ethical to eat meat from animals raised in factory farms?

As a group, we recommend

We are concerned about the ethical implications of eating meat from animals raised in factory farms. We believe these practices contribute to animal suffering, poor relationships with food production, and environmental degradation. While we acknowledge the importance of affordable food options, we generally agree that the conditions in factory farms are problematic. We recommend considering legislation to improve animal welfare standards and environmental practices in industrial farming operations, while also addressing the potential cost implications for consumers. We suggest promoting transparency in food production and public awareness campaigns to empower consumers to make informed choices. Additionally, we propose exploring economic incentives for smaller-scale or alternative farming methods that prioritize both ethics and affordability.
