John Robbins makes his claim clear towards the end of his article. His last paragraph states, "Giving the FDA increased power to over-regulate America's last remaining small-scale farms is not the answer to curbing contamination outbreaks. Ending cash crop subsidies and reverting back to an agricultural system that respects the land, encourages local farming and employs clean and natural methods of growing and raising food is." He is arguing that some groups trying to enhance the government's control on food safety will only make matters worse. Robbins claims that real, safe food comes from a natural agriculture, just like it used to be in the older days. He argues that yes the meat is cheaper now thanks to factory farming, but it is not healthier whatsoever. The risk of disease caused from meat contamination could be reduced tremendously if the creatures were raised in a natural environment, rather than a toxic one.
