Yes and no. The problem with factory farming - and pardon me but the proper economics term escapes me atm - is not all the costs are directly shouldered by the farm. For example, waste run off... the cost of dealing with that flows downstream, literally. Similar are fossil fuels. They're inexpensive, until you realize the aggregate burning of them increases pollution, as well as greenhouse gases. But cost of impact and resolution isn't in the cost of the product. The point is, competing alternatives that don't have such "cost-free side effects" can't compete until the legacy products' price reflect the true and entire cost of manufacturing.
