AGAINST MEAT

Am I against meat? No. Do I wish I was? Yes. This story  found very interesting because i too have came across this dilemma multiple times. I've watched so much video's and even did a research paper on the cruelty and mistreatment that animals are faced with in our to meet our supply of food. It often leaves my stomach twirling or even angry at the employees of slaughter houses because of what they're doing. But yet i still eat meat on a daily. Ive tried to stay away from places like McDonalds or Steakhouses but i always come back to them. 

It makes it especially harder with my family. When theres a baptism or wedding 99% of the time they cook an animal to feed the guest. and 100% of the time its absolutely delicious. Sometimes i get the idea of what I'm eating or what was done to the animal to make whats on my plate and it ruins my appetite. But a majority of the times i just eat whatever is on my plate with no questions asked. Just like the reading, my Grandma also is always forcing me to eat. Whenever we're there she cooks something that we all have to eat. They never take no for an answer and honestly probably never will. The part that interested me the most was the information about how factory farming was the number one reason for global warming. I Had an idea of what it was and what it entitled but never did i pay attention to the effects it had on things other than the animals. 

Like Foer's grandma, my Grandma also correlates food with health. When she sees family members that are very skinny the first things she says is, " Mijo you need to start eating more." She's never told me this because almost every time i see her I'm bigger than i was the last time. Being able to eat what you want and however much you want in this world is undoubtedly a blessing because a large population of people are starving. I enjoyed the reading because it hit the 3 main points that influence ones decision, Morals , Family, and Health.
