Conclusion

The environment has a huge effect on the raising of meat. People believe the answer to good meat is organic meat, and have the evidence to prove this true. Conventional meat requires huge amounts of energy to produce, contributes to pollution, and frequently contaminates our local waterways. Over the years, the conventional meat industry has pushed local farms out of the picture.

Factory raised meat is created and killed in large amounts, within small spaces, while organically raised meat is created in free-range and open areas. This was they do not have to live in their own waste. Animals of factories are grown in a rapid pace and killed just as quickly. Most are injected with chemicals as live animals and then when killed their meat is soaked in ammonia to kill bacteria and stop disease. This makes matters worse because not only are the animals poisoned, but humans are exposed to the unhealthy consumption of this meat.

**How is conventional meat harmful to the environment?**

Conventional meat can be dangerous because the pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and fertilizers in the grain are stored as toxins in the fat of the animals. As they live and grown in cramped spaces they are easily exposed to the spread of disease and bacteria. Also, the lack of space leads to the lack of resources for waste. A large amount of animals means a lot of animal waste. This waste is dumped into waterways because there is no acceptable place to dump it.

**How does organically raised meat compare to conventional meat?**

Organically raised meat is considerably better for comsumers since there are no harmful chemicals injected into them. Overall, organically raised animals are healthier, happier, and taste better. Raising meat organically is more sustainable because the Earth is their free-range farm.

**Is conventional meat the answer the public’s expectations? **

No! People want to consume "cheap food", but cheaper is not always better. media type="youtube" key="WjKZ7BZ0oi0" height="390" width="640" align="center"
