Several European nations have done it, and people there still seem to manage to eat meat, so I imagine we could do it, too.
Plus factory farms are really, really bad for the environment. And for the small farmer.

The problem with that (in the majority of Americans' eyes) is that in order to support the small farms, it costs more money. It sucks. I personally don't mind spending an extra few bucks if it means that I've helped an animal.
