If I was to show her a photograph of an African child with terrible body deformities due to malnutrition, would she assume that all Afri­ can children were being brought up under starving conditions?

lations to ensure that suitable measurements are enforced for each class of stock, but to say that animals on slatted floors are in Belsen camps is quite erroneous: and surely Mrs. Fletcher is not so naive as to think animals inherit all their abilities, without acquiring any themselves. Do we inherit the ability to travel in motor cars, for instance, from our grand­ mothers? Must factory-farming take the


blame for the increasing evi­ dence of cancer amongst Ameri­ can children? Then by the same thinking it must also take the credit for those young American athletes who, on the self-same food regime, have reached such standards of physique that this .Mttpnm t*»y will win mare

Mrs. Fletcher would be on far surer ground correlating the increase of cancer with the pace at which today's civilised world lives, and the fact that most of the fatal diseases of yes­ teryear (tuberculosis, diphtheria, pneumonia, etc.) have now been conquered.

I would inform “ C. J. H.” that


have been with us lor a long time now. For the past thirty years at least, virtually the whole of the pork and bacon eaten in this country has been from pigs which have spent all their lives inside buildings, and the proportion of poultry pro­ ducts derived from wholly-inten- sive birds lias steadily increased over the last twenty years. In re­ cent years beef cattle have been fattened wholly intensively. “ Factory Farming” is the term applied to the application of these methods on a large scale.


Intensive husbandry methods


which does disturb me is the danger that our food will become less and less tasteful. But here the facts seem to place me in a minority, for since the end of rationing more and more pig and poultry products are being eaten and the average consump­ tion of lamb and mutton has fallen. Even intensively-fed beef attracts a premium from the meat whoisaler, as today's house­ wife prefers her meat to be lean and tender.


One aspect of factory farming


that as to-day’s affluent society spends a progressively smaller proportion of its income on food, so farming is moving farther and farther from being a way of life and more into big business hands In short, the country yokel is on his wny out—I think the nation will be the poorer for it.
