(I think we all understand, and it's certainly written into our laws - that cows are to be given greater consideration for their state of mind than bacteria - so I;m not attempting to equate them, only equating a situation, the justifications for or arguments against, it;s likely that you and I both are against factory farming of cattle but for factory farming of bacteria - I did that once, btw, at a refit Coors brewing plant. We made synth DHA and ARA, for baby formula...lol. Definitely wouldn't have felt comfortable producing beef at that place, with that equipment.)
