Reponse to "Factory food..."

In "Factory food...", the author, Ethan Huff, claims that food would be safer if the animals were raised in more humane conditions instead of increasing the food safety regulations.  He describes the recent salmonella outbreak how this could have been avoided by humanely raising the chickens.  His supporting evidence is very powerful almost frightening in some parts such as when he says the meat produced by some animals in factory farms is practically toxic to the human body.  That really hits close to home with anyone reading his article as no one wants to consume something that is toxic.  Also his addition of how factory farming has affected the environment such as the contaminated waterways he mentions just adds to his claim that animals should be raised more humanely in smaller, family owned farms.
