A River of Waste-The Hazardous Truth About Factory Farms

Today Poultry, Pork and Beef are primarily raised on factory farms. These farms are creating a number of health and environmental problems do to the way they are disposing of the sewage into our fragile waterways and environments. Also the over abundance of antibiotics and growth hormones are threatening the life of animals, humans and the future of our planet. Some Public Health institutions have called for a moratorium on the factory farms. Some scientists have gone so far as to call the condemned current factory farm practices as “mini Chernobyl’s.” It appears that our modern American industrial system of meat and poultry production is really nothing more than a huge health and environmental scandal.

Many European countries have much higher standards for the food industries to follow.

This heart-stopping documentary, A RIVER OF WASTE exposes a huge health and environmental scandal in the U.S. and elsewhere, the meat and poultry industry is dominated by dangerous uses of arsenic, antibiotics, growth hormones which can remain inside the foods we eat and thus are transferred to humans. Just look at all the outbreaks of E-coli, bird flu and man cow disease all caused by our unhealthy way of raising livestock on these factory farms. The problem does not stop here though think about the water runoff and how this carries the problem to contaminating our vegetable crops that have been subjected to recalls such a Spinach and others due to E-coli contamination.    The film documents the vast catastrophic impact on the environment and public health as well as focuses on the individual lives damaged and destroyed by the industrialization of the factory farm. I would encourage all to watch A River of Waste: The Hazardous Truth About Factory Farms
