Liberal bias? Ridiculous article. Show me the republican version then we can reconcile.

#12Christ. Has it ever occurred to these hipsters that factory farming feeds people? It's simple science that conventional farming is the only way to feed 7+ billion (soon to be 9+ billion) people. And referring to slaughtered chickens as "contributed deaths"... This makes me sad because I once had a little faith in this project.

What do you think conservatives would regard as the most harmful careers?
Professors, scientists, and school teachers are regularly demonized by the republican party.
Much as I would love to be a contrarian it's pretty implausible that they are the most harmful careers.

A vegetarian diet is i) requires less land and energy, ii) as a result is cheaper and iii) per $ is as nutritious as factory farmed meat. People in poverty eat very little meat. In fact, all meat production and consumption, in addition to factory farming, can be objected to on the further ground that it raises food prices for the poor: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/27/business/worldbusiness/27i.... This is inevitable as meat production is 3-10x less energy and land efficient as eating plant products.
Finally, do you think that the chickens do not die?

It's pretty implausible that farming is a harmful career as well. But, oh look, there they are at number 2.

Only factory farming of animals is on there, and given the suffering of the animals involved I think it's a complete no-brainer that it overall does harm.

No it fucking doesn't. It feeds the human race.
Re: What are the 10 most harmful jobs?
#20This wasn't a bad list. However, one factor I'd consider is the individual role's role and options. For instance, I've read (I think it was in "Fast food nation") that factory farms in the US are often staffed by people who are not legally permitted to work or reside in the US and who are at constant risk.
