TL;DR:

A southwest Missouri river already contaminated with E. coli could soon receive up to 350,000 gallons of wastewater daily from a meatpacking facility.

And this as we're seeing stories from other areas about massive die-offs due to eutrophication. Animal waste is hugely eutrophying to waterways, and this is well-documented. We just never learn.

Stop eating meat, folks. Under current circumstances, the planet just can't take it.

I should stop eating meat because legislators are corrupt? That's an interesting thought process you have there. I'm sure your biases had no impact on your totally logical conclusion. /s

@GrumbleGrim @inasaba you should stop eating meat because it lowers your carbon footprint. Simple.
