Back to the start... back to the Garden of Eden, which was not crowded with two.
Remember, factory farms are not the problem -- they are a symptom of the problem.
The problem is human over-population.
No one woke up this morning trying to ruin the world.
They woke up trying to feed all the children.
And to do that, they cut down the forest, plowed up the land, pumped water from the aquifers, and tried to raise more crops and more animals with greater efficiency.
They tried to make a profit, which meant they raced to the basement in terms of pollution control, and they tried to keep up with their next door neighbors who boosted their farm yields with fertilizers while suppressing weeds and bugs with herbicides and pesticides.
No one set out to ruin the world.
No one set out to be cruel or so far removed from nature. But without family planning and self-restraint, this is what happens.
