Antibiotic Apocalypse: To keep animals alive in filthy conditions, industrial farms pump them full of antibiotics, contributing to the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. This means common infections could become deadly as our go-to meds lose effectiveness.
Disease Breeding Grounds: Cramped, unsanitary conditions are perfect for diseases to jump from animals to humans. Remember swine flu and bird flu? Yep, factory farms played a role in those.
Chemical Cocktail: Industrial meat can contain hormone and antibiotic residues, not exactly the seasoning you want on your steak.
