Chickens are treated horribly in chicken farms because they are fed corn and caused them to be fat and not able to walk and sit face to face in their own poop. Chicken farmers are treated with out respect and are not allowed to talk to anyone about the conditions. The most likely reason is it will make people not want to eat their product anymore. To stop it we could eat allot less of their products and they will lose money or we could protest. cows are just as bad as chickens because they are fed corn which makes them fat because they are supposed to eat grass. They stand knee deep in poop and the run off from that contaminates the vegetables and their meat. they probably do this to get more of a product from them. We could protest and not eat beef. I think minorities have a higher chance of getting diabetes because they get less money and have to go with cheaper less healthy food such as fast food and it causes the diseases. The people working there are probably illegal minorities and are treated bad because they are illegal and don't want to get caught and if they get caught the companies don't get in trouble only the minorities. The Monsanto company has genetically modified the soybeans to not be killed by their pesticides and that makes the farmers have to buy both and they cant save the seeds or the person who collects the seeds gets in trouble and so does the farmer even thoe the seeder did not know that  they were Monsanto's seeds. Because the Monsanto corporation put a patent on their seeds. This is important to us because it hurts the farmers. You could make a game out of this by being a farmer and you got to make a farm that does not go bankrupt. The hero would be the farmer , The enemy would be the Monsanto corporation. Your gole is to make the perfect farm. To collect points you would to raise money.
