The documentary also shows how animals are given antibiotics to make them grow much more rapidly. In addition, Food Inc. presents that factory farming does damage to the environment due to the loss of biodiversity. The article “Report Targets Costs Of Factory Farming” from the Washington Post emphasizes how factories have taken a hidden toll on humans’ health. It mentions how factory farming fails to provide humane treatment of animals. The article also talks about how that modern agriculture like factory farming is responsible for about the twenty percent of the nation’s greenhouse gas production.
#1 point, cruelty Well, first of all, About 500 million land animals now in the Thailand are raised for dairy, meat and eggs each year and they all got killed in more than 400 slaughterhouses from the factory farming that are exist around the country. However, the cruelty towards these animals is unbelievable. On today's factory farms, animals are crammed by the thousands into filthy, windowless sheds and confined to wire cages, gestation crates, barren dirt lots, and other cruel confinement systems. These animals will never raise their families, root around in the soil, build nests, or do anything that is natural and important to them. In some cases, they live without daylight.
There is also the time consuming that there is no time for play. cows must be fed and cared for. they also must be milked twice a day every day 365 days a year. my family milks year round and so they time the calvings year round. so a cow will get dried off for 60 days and the freshen and start milking again.
Jessica Hall ENG 140 6/19/2012 Week 7 Assignment “Meat and Milk Factories” by Peter Singer and Jim Mason In the essay “Meat and Milk Factories,” Peter Singer and Jim Mason discuss the cruel treatment of animals, which is inflicted to them by their caretakers. Although several farmers simply refused to talk to Singer and Mason, a select few invited the duo to their farms. Singer and Mason visited these particular “ranches,” which were located throughout the United States, and collected information on the issues from each of them. The effects of their tours were atrocious. There are many instances throughout the essay when they detail the poor treatment of pigs and cows in the US.
A Comparison of the Paleolithic and Contemporary Diets. Dorothy E. St. Louis Sci/241 The beginning of the industrial revolution, agriculture, and domestication of animals began the changes in the human diet. Prior to this change, Homo sapiens were hunter-gatherers with food sources from hunting wild game, and digging tuberous roots and nuts with very little grains and no dairy products at all. While some individuals claim that since we are more knowledgeable today, we are more conscious of our health, other's claim we are unhealthier today than ever before. There are individuals who claim in the media that we need to return to the way our ancestors consumed food, the Stone Age Diet or Paleo-diet is one such claim.
There really is no one set way. It can be entirely up to the dieter. However the longer the fast hours the better, as this is when your body can relax and start to mend and lose weight at the same time. My understanding is that the total hours of fasting need to add up to 24 hrs. I myself consumed all my calories at dinnertime and throughout the day drank water, herbal teas and coffees (black).
THREAT The biggest threat for Dunkin’ Donuts is that people are moving to healthier ways of eating. Environmental organizations are encouraging people to consume less meat. Because meat is not only bad for your health, but also contributes greatly to deforestation. We need more land to feed animals in order to serve their meat to everyone. However, animals need a large amount of land to raise.
Good parents have always worried about the health and development of their children and good vegan parents are no different. But according to Marilyn Sterling R.D. some vegan children may not be getting the vital nutrients they need to prosper. Many native vegetarian cuisines, such as those in India, gives us evidence that humans are naturally omnivorous and need meat to survive, reproduce and grow. Even though “traditional vegetarian diets, in places like India, regularly include dairy and eggs for complete healthy diet with protein, essential fats and vitamins” (Planck), that does not attest to the fact that an animal-free diet is unsafe, or even a bad idea for adults and older children.
Why take the risk of developing these illnesses or side effects when you could be eating healthy, chemical- free meat, that was naturally raised? The meat industry’s factory farms are absolutely disgusting and are harmful to our environment as well! The added hormones that are injected into the animals have to pass through also just like the food. In the animal’s feces, the chemicals exist. The mass production of animals in the factory farms is obviously going to produce a lot of manure.
Americans have not taken in consideration that processed meats are linked to many illness and need to learn before it’s too late. In this paper we will learned about heart disease, diabetes, colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer and how they are associated to processed meat and what we can do to prevent them and still be able to eat meat. Even though meat has the ingredients and nutrients our body needs if the meat has been altered it loses all of its proteins and becomes what it is known as “pink slime”. (Gillooly, 2011) Pink slime is a lean finely texture beef filler treated with ammonia hydroxide to eliminate possible pathogens particularly e. coli and salmonella. (Theiss, 2012) The chemicals used for this procedure are the same ones we use for window cleaning and floor waxing.
