It’s not a question, we can. I don’t think anyone here said we couldn’t.

But it’s also not a question of if we’re going to, we won’t. Meat consumption goes up a little every year (on average) and we’ve known these things for a long time, so clearly we’re not convinced.

As to the benefits and drawbacks of factory farming, there are a lot of both. It’s overly-simplistic to call it a problem.
