I already have, several times. The latest being to disprove the "most meat is intensively reared" when the actual figures show it's only 0.4% of beef that's reared that way.
Here's the actual figures for intensively reared meat:
"In 1966, the United States, United Kingdom and other industrialized nations, commenced factory farming of beef and dairy cattle and domestic pigs.
From its American and West European heartland, intensive animal farming became globalized in the later years of the 20th century and is still expanding and replacing traditional practices of stock rearing in an increasing number of countries. In 1990 intensive animal farming accounted for 30% of world meat production and by 2005 this had risen to 40%
Intensive production of livestock and poultry is widespread in developed nations. For 2002–2003,
FAO estimates of industrial production as a percentage of global production were
7 percent for beef and veal, 0.8 percent for sheep and goat meat,
42 percent for pork, and 67 percent for poultry meat. Industrial production was estimated to account for 39 percent of the sum of global production of these meats and 50 percent of total egg production.
[21] In the U.S., according to its
National Pork Producers Council,
80 million of its 95 million pigs slaughtered each year are reared in industrial settings!"

And in the UK, the trend is increasing:
"Most intensive farms in the UK are poultry farms, our analysis has shown. They make up 86% of the total numbers of permit-holding farms.
Between 2011 and 2017 there was a 27% increase in permit-holding poultry farms across the UK.
Overall, the number of large intensive farms - pig and poultry - with an Environment Agency permit in the UK is currently 1,674 - an increase of 26% since 2011 when there were 1,332 facilities requiring a permit. The figures are as of July 2017 for Scotland, March 2017 for England, and Northern Ireland and January 2016 for Wales.
Some areas of the UK saw particularly sharp rises: in Northern Ireland the number of pig and poultry factory farms has increased by 68% from 154 in 2011 to 259 in 2017."
The number of intensive farms in the UK has risen by a quarter with many so big they fit the definition of a US mega-farm.
