And on the environmental side we have clearcutting thousands of acres of forest for farmland, destroying habitats for millions of animals, a continual extermination of many "pest" species for as long as the farm is operational, AND horrifically inefficient irrigation methods that drain the water table of all its juices.

I'll never say that mass agriculture is anywhere near as bad as mass animal husbandry for the environment, but the people we see around the world who act like there's no environmental impact are the ones who irk me.
