The food is probably plentiful because there is battery farming. I'm old enought to remember the days in the UK before battery farming of chickens. Chicken was very expensive and as a family we only ate it at Christmas, not evey week of the year like now.

Rdenig and Dashes are right-- a food surplus is best traded for goods produced more efficiently elsewhere, and having plenty of food is only possible through efficient agricultural techniques.
Attempts to legislate morality only end up harming the consumer (as well as producers, who are consumers too!) and lowering the standard of living.

It goes the other way in practise. The more developed a country the more likely it is to do factory farming.

Are you kidding?
As long as the industry can handle itself environmentally, why would you need further regulation or restriction?

no, that food can be exported to other countries who desparately need it
