EATING ANIMALS
Jonathan Safran Foer's idea, in his book "Eating Animals" did not only bring awareness to readers of the suffering animals, whose meat land on our dinner plates. Also the health hazard the meat pose to consumers. Americans can no longer pretend not to know that our excessive meat consumption encourages the practice of animal cruelty. The origin of diseases that affect human kind, for example, heart disease, could be associated with the consumption of the meat we eat. Common sense will tell you, you are what you eat. Yet we distant ourselves and become bystanders for these voiceless animals who suffer inhumane treatment. In one way or the other, we would find ourselves wanting as Foer states"Of course, consumers might notice that their chicken don't taste quite right how good could a drug-stuffed, disease-ridden, shit-contaminated animal possibly taste...... and taste?"(Feor131).
