Flyover states have such a low population density that this solution works, however the demand throughout the country is so staggeringly high that it's not at all a viable solution for everyone. That's why the larger meat industries exist, they're the only ones capable of handling the volume necessary. That means that even less of the country is ignorant about the source of their meat than you would think, but not everyone is in a position to be able to do something about it. Many of us don't have the options available to you, and if we did and we all chose the most ethically sourced options available, the prices would either be astronomically high or the previously ethical source companies would have to resort to less ethical measures to be able to keep up with demand.
