This continues from "The Cost of Meat—Too High To Pay." The Public Health Argument covers the methods used by factory farms to boost production and profits at the cost of public health. The topics covered will be food-borne illness, irradiation, the use of antibiotics and growth hormones, and the feed we give to the animals we eventually eat ourselves.Posted May 21, 2007 - 12:55 by Lynn Truong
This continues from "The Cost of Meat—Too High To Pay." The Cruelty Argument addresses the horrible conditions and treatment the animals in factory farms are subjected to, and unnecessarily so. We can still eat meat and treat the animals well. Short of raising our own animals for food, at the very least we can demand that compassion be shown to these living, breathing, feeling beings before they end up on our plate.Posted May 21, 2007 - 12:54 by Lynn Truong
This continues from "The Cost of Meat—Too High To Pay." The Environment Argument addresses the toll intensive factory farming has on our environment. This topic will include water usage, waste contamination, and rainforest destruction.Posted May 21, 2007 - 12:54 by Lynn Truong

With 86,400 blogs being created everyday, a problogger needs to be more than just a good writer if he wants to succeed. To stand out from the crowd, he also has to be a great marketer, ad salesman, tech guru, SEO specialist, public relations rep, and sometimes even a lawyer. Juggling all these responsibilities is nearly impossible, especially for a solo blogger who is only blogging part time. One solution is joining an established blog network. But blog networks take a hefty cut of your profits, and at the end of the day you are still an employee working for someone else. The best solution is to join a co-op blog, which can provide bloggers professional-level support without taking away their profits.
