Title: A River of Waste: The Hazardous Truth About Factory Farms
Added: Sep 30, 2010
Author: NewVideoDigital
Duration: 91:51
Description:
A heart-stopping new documentary, A RIVER OF WASTE exposes a huge health and environmental scandal in our modern industrial system of meat and poultry production. Some scientists have gone so far as to call the condemned current factory farm practices as "mini Chernobyls." In the U.S. and elsewhere, the meat and poultry industry is dominated by dangerous uses of arsenic, antibiotics, growth hormones and by the dumping of massive amounts of sewage in fragile waterways and environments. The film documents the vast catastrophic impact on the environment and public health as well as focuses on the individual lives damaged and destroyed.

Apr 17, 2012 - I understand where you come from and i get why you would feel this way, but philosophically speaking where do you draw the line? Plants are living creatures should we still eat them? Animals eat other animals is that okay? I dont mean to disrespect you in any way but i think when in comes to eating other animals, it goes further then just saying no flat out. Opinions?

Apr 17, 2012 - Plants want us to eat them. Ask the Ayahuasca plant.
KyleDVW Says:
Apr 18, 2012 - I dont think an Ayahuasca trip is really that inviting :P

Apr 20, 2012 - lots of good feed back!! I really think the answer is not just going vegan or only eating meat once a week , it is more of an issue to stop this type of farming and abuse of the animals and the destruction of the environment .

Apr 27, 2012 - Kyle, Some people gauge their choices by whether or not endorphins are released when a living organism is "hurt". That seems like it may be a good place to draw the line to me.

Apr 28, 2012 - Animals do eat other animals, that is true. The difference is they only hunt and kill what they need to survive. Humans on the other hand farm mass numbers of animals, not as a means for survival but out of selfish personal desire. We can live without meat, we can certainly live without KFC "popcorn chicken", McD's "chicken mcnuggets", BK's "whoppers".... etc. In the animal kingdom animals are not neglected, abused and tortured by other animals. Only humans are capable of such cruelty.

May 6, 2012 - I have committed these companies names to my memory. I will not purchase products produced by them. Maybe if enough Americans wake up and follow suit - these companies will do something about their disgusting practices that are producing such ill animals. Doesn't make me want to eat chickens anytime soon.

May 14, 2012 - It's possible to turn the manure into bio-fuel which can power our cars and stop CO2.
imageryguy Says:
May 15, 2012 - Proximity to industrialized farms can cause one to gag from the smell. I can not imagine living near them. This film also raises my concern about other large corporations that benefit i.e. where do these products go? Grocers, retail markets, or even restaurants use these products, but are not required to advertise how they acquired them. Avoiding those products is not financially feasible for all consumers, so until enough consumers of these products are grossly affected... this will continue.

May 21, 2012 - Aimee Copeland fell into the Tallapoosa River on May 1, 2012. She had an open gash and contracted necrotizing fasciitis caused by the flesh-devouring bacteria Aeromonas hydrophila. I wonder if animal sewage waste is to blame for this since animal agriculture is big in Georgia.
