The Book “The CAFO Reader” by Daniel Imohff is about how we really get our food here in the United States. There are a lot of food companies that don’t want to share with us on how we get our food and where it comes from. “More than 10billion animals are being slaughtered every year” this quote is  important because this number is “twice the number that Americans raised during the 1980’s and more in the 1940’s.” In 2050 the global combustion of meat and dairy will double in that year.  A lot of people don’t really know this is happening. The CAFO is spreading all over the United States, CAFO changed the way they treat animals. Animals cannot simply move when they are locked in small cages and giving medicines and even hormones. Scientists believe that medicines are being used on animals rather than humans. Mainly when the medicines are in the animals, the animals we eat are covered with medicines and goes to our body when we eat them the same goes for hormones there inside the animals. The most important aspects of the CAFO system are confinement. The amount of animals is dying quickly for example: 7,000 cows, 130,000 cattle, 360,000 pigs, and 24 million chickens die and rapidly all of these animals are dying. A lot of animals feel pain and also suffer whenever animals are getting killed. Future historians will see how CAFO treated these animals. A lot of animals have the rights to live but CAFO doesn’t allow that they will use animals for money and for food and people will buy it.
