A bit shocking to see how low people rate factory farming, place 34. Arguably the worst thing happening on this planet right now, the only thing is: not to humans, but to other sentient beings.

To humans as well. I mean, desertification because of widespread intensive monoculture is an ongoing phenomenon here in Europe. Having dried out soil that can't absorb water (because it's too dry to penetrate except through cracks) isn't exactly just a problem to "other sentient beings".

And don't even get me started on water pollution, the sometimes-lethal green algae, the dead bees, and agriculture workers exposed to cancer-inducing products.
