 In the article  "Health Effects from Breathing Air Near CAFOs for Feeder Cattle or Hogs"  Sussana Von Essen, and Brent W. Auvermann shows us  how workers are expose to toxic substances such as Endotoxins found in confinement barns, they are getting lungs diseases. A large amount of bacteria are found in manure, and this is another cause to affect workers lungs. "Endotoxins is a highly inflamatory substance found in substance found within the external cell membrane of Gram negative bacteria, which are abundant in manure. Endotoxin is the substance that has been most consistently associated with impairment of lung function in workers." ( Von Essen 56)

Pg.90. Camille talked about  how back in the 1950's, there was no pollution nor destruction.  People used to sacrifice their lives and time, planting theircrops.

Blog 5. CAFO

 According to CAFO system, human and animal lives are considered meaningless or pointless. The CAFO system suggest humans and animals to live miserable lives. Is considered pointless because of the  requirements it suggest. For instance, CAFO suggest humans to become desensitized to the work and pressured they have been given. Giving their lives, time and devotion. For animals no choice have been given, and are put to death, with no rights or considerations. CAFO system doesn't really matter for those who disagree with the idea of dehumanizing workers, for companies' benefits. Dehumanizing is to deprive human quality. For the CAFO system is very important to gain and keep productivity raising it maximum level of consumption. Even though it puts at risk our lives, by giving us low quality products. Consumers are being fooled by not knowing the hidden costs of their products. Causing diceases, deaths and bringing bad consecuences to workers. Consecuences such as mentally ill, stressed, and needed for a higher salary.
