: Actually they are grown in nice neat rows using plenty of pesticides which helps farmers pull them out of the ground in substantially higher quantities than naturally grown foods.

True. But in comparison to animal agriculture, plant foods are much more 'natural'. Beef contains 10 times more pesticides then plant foods. Dairy on average contains 5.5 times more. Moreover, other factors in factory farming only prove to me that plant foods (for your above stated) are the way to go.
