It doesn't matter about health effects caused by steroids and antibiotics etc. as long as we make a lot of money."Giving it the short shrift. Meat is a stable, dense place to store the excess energy created by our agricultural system and process it into a more "available" arrangement of nutrients for human beings (and other products). If we don't consume that energy somehow (nom nom or economically) it will become a useless waste product..thus driving the price for other ag commodities higher (because they currently spread the cost of production out over all available commodities). Greed can go either way or be neutral. More a case by case basis of what greed has it's sights on,imo.
Convincing people to buy multiple products from the same production system (especially if they're based on waste products) - or more than they require - drops the price to consumer, and increases the availability of the product. In the case of food...both sound good.
