By Dr. Mercola It was not long ago — within the last 50 years — that small family farms were responsible for raising most of the food that Americans ate. In the early 1970s, when the first large-scale concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) appeared — first for egg-laying hens — it was with the notion that this "modern" way of rearing livestock was more efficient and profitable.1 By 1980, chickens, pigs, beef and dairy cows raised on CAFOs were commonplace, and today most meat sold in the U.S. comes from these massive, industrialized operations. The cheap meat they produce is not without consequence, however.
