What that means is that it wasn't a factory-farm operation. The animals were still bred and raised for slaughter, but evidently in some kind of soulful way we don't really hear about. In " Food for the Soul ," Kristof once again yearns for the farm of his childhood which, for him, had "soul."

An enormous volume of material has already appeared on the conditions under which animals live and die on factory farms, and more is almost certainly on the way.

It is not in dispute that, in modern factory farms, animals are raised in massively overcrowded, unnatural warehouses.

Even “factory” agriculture has its limits. And it is not just at the slaughterhouses but at the factory farms where these animals are tortured from the very beginning of their lives to the horrible end.
