Industrialized animal farming. Sure, cheap meat, but this meat is inferior to animals that lived an authentic life. It's nutritionally vacant due to these animals, namely beef, being raised on corn instead of grass or grains. By the way, the practice also helped corn subsidy, and now, it's a potential mrna vaccine vector.
Almost all cash crops are grown for humans though. Animals get the waste. It's one of the bits of vegan propaganda that these crops are grown for animals. The sad reality is that even factory farmed meat is vastly nutritionally superior to plant foods.
This is a good one. I'm not sure it even made meat cheaper. It likely just split up and commodified all the pieces and allowed for central control. They even feed cows skittles these days. Factory farming of all animals should be illegal.
