Close Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations!!

Last week, a coalition of 300 farm, food, and environmental advocacy organizations sent a letter to Congress urging legislators to pass a bill that would eventually eliminate the country’s largest concentrated animal feeding operations (Cafos). This is also supported by my senator, Cory Booker.
This is about environmental sustainability, animal care, and food safety as we know that most cases of E.coli foodborne illness on leafy greens originated because of CAFOs contaminating irrigation water.
Let me know your opinion in the comments.
