Frankly it surprised me. Still, we have to keep alive the understanding of how factory farms operate. I'm amazed by how many people I encounter who still think of blue skies and open grass fields when the word "farm" is mentioned. They have no idea where McFood or that plastic tray of meat covered in plastic wrap actually originated or how it is processed.
