If you don’t like factory farms, you should probably move to Delaware - it’s the only U.S. state that doesn’t have a single confined animal feeding operation (CAFO). Of course, the state only covers about 2,000 square miles (about 30 miles by 60 miles). Conversely, if you live in Nebraska, you as a human are outnumbered by cattle, pigs, and chickens in CAFOs. (Thought it was just sheep in New Zealand, did you?) The information comes from nonprofit Food and Water Watch’s new interactive map dishing CAFO sites and animal numbers by state. The map was created using USDA definintions of CAFOs and census data. Envirovore has reported on a variety of environmental catastrophes caused by CAFOs, from declining crab populations in Cheasapeake Bay to massive dead zones in the Gulf of Mexico. For those who are foggy on the general problems associated with CAFOs, a good starting point is the infamous Meatrix video. Comments (8)

It's true what our moms said...we are what we eat. In fact, it's truer than they thought. What I eat doesn't just affect me anymore, it affects all of us.
Unfortunately, the story of food can sometimes be complicated. But envirovores help each other out...which is why this blog will be bringing you news, tips, and information about food and the environment every step of the way.
