Essentially, he focuses on deconstructing the world and analyses the real meaning behind them without social obscurities. Battery cage (cage for egg laying hens crammed and staked) Discomfort food (that touches up on choosing between socially comfortable situations and socially responsible where there is choice in being a vegetarian but not a selective omnivore) Downers (animals left to die usually due to poor health) Environmentalism (our poor food choices contribute to global warming one cannot self- proclaim they are environmentalists when they eat factory farmed animal products) Family farms (2 generations ago nearly all farms were family farms) Free range (technically means cage-free, but most times they are stuffed in a crammed room the usda doesn"t even have a proper definition)
