FACTORY FARMING-AN ISSUE FOR US ALL
Many people also have concerns about meat production and what the animal products contain. Recent research into the meat industry has highlighted a range of frightened issue associated with the large – scale production of meat. The cruel conditions in which huge numbers of animals are kept in close confines is concerning. This not only due to the potential outbreaks of serious diseases that threatened human lives. It is even argued that the drugs that are often used to control dangerous viruses may have an impact on the health of meat eaters.
Our global responsibility
For many avoiding food or products( like leather) that cause harm to any animal underlies the reason to become vegetarians. People may feel strongly about animal welfare and they see the slaughter of caws, sheep and other animals as unacceptable. This is not a new perspective in ancient Greece and Rome, philosopher argued that humans had a responsibility to ensure other creatures were not treated badly. Furthermore, the killing of animals has long been viewed negatively in India and other parts of Asia.
Health benefit backed up by science
A point often raised by non - vegetarians is that a purely vegetable – based diet is inadequate to provide humans with the energy necessary to sustain them. However, there is a significant amount of research to show that non-meat diets are sufficient. Studies also show that vegetarians suffer much less frequently from heart disease and certain forms of cancer. Another is that they are less exposed to viruses that are associated with animals and the production of meat.
Possible global food crisis.
Research and media publicity have raised several questions about the global impact of the growing trend to consume more animal products. Concerns about the environment, health and a potential food crisis will affect us all. Wherever we live and however much money we have food will matter. Whether you are a meat eater or not, thinking about what you consume and how it could impact your health and the planet is everyone’s duty. This thinking could help to ensure a peaceful and sustainable future.
