		flyinglizard on Aug 8, 2020 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Oatly: The New Coke? I was specifically talking about dairy farming. Pork, chicken and beef all have their own issues. The average USA farm size is about 220 cows vs. about 70 cows in France, and the practices used in Europe as a whole are more humane (my numbers are from closed market studies published by IFCN). These animals are very well monitored and cared for. I wouldn't want to change place with them, but then I also wouldn't trade places with many other humans around the world.

I agree that cows are better off in France, but this is an anomaly.

They are to some extent better off in Norway too, although their lot should still be improved.
