Article is about meat, why change the title?

The title appears to match the one on the article (unless they're doing some title fuzzing)?

Article says "meat industry", HN title says "food industry", unless we're getting AB tested.

> (2) The Immigration System: that simultaneously enables BigAg to procure cheap migrant labor and can be weaponized to prevent that same migrant labor from organizing for or demanding humane working conditions.

The Jungle all over again ... apparently not much has changed in ~100 years. Fascinating.

Just more reasons to eat a plant based diet.

You should see the cartel Monsanto has on agriculture

This is just one more reason we should push for sustainable farming, including meat products.

livestock naturally bring nitrogen and other nutrients back into the soil when grazing. Then use that land to grow plants, move the animals where plants pulled the nutrients from the soil, rinse and repeat.

Also reduces the need for harmful fertilizers that impact the ecosystem
