Factory farmers and the chemical industry in America have been looking for ways to increase their profits as quickly as possible for decades. One of the ideas they came up with years ago was to inject cattle with hormones that would make them grow larger, fatter, and faster so that they could get more money for the same product.

Joining me now to discuss some of those consequences, as well as how we got into this situation to begin with, is Chris Hunt from Sustainable Table.
