This framing is very compelling but it leaves one wondering about what becomes the next stand-in for factory farming. If higher-welfare and alternative systems scale under similar cost and efficiency pressures, what prevents harm from reappearing in less obvious forms like environmental, labor or new welfare tradeoffs?  
Are there ways to define constraints that could "discipline" the system so that in addressing welfare in one area, harm isn't recreated in another?
