121) I am one of those Americans who eat meat, and to give it up on Thanksgiving for someone else’s selfishness is not going to happen. They might call me selfish but if I don’t eat that meat, someone else will. The chain never really breaks. And whether you like it or not, it’s the sad
Those who still eat beef are, in my view, foolishly exposing themselves to the risk of contracting the horrifying human version of Mad Cow Disease. Add to those hazards the fact that if you eat meat you may be consuming hormones, drugs and other chemicals that have been fed to the animals before they were killed and you can see the extent of the danger. No one knows precisely what effect eating the hormones in meat is likely to have on your health. But the risk is there and I think it's a big one. Some farmers use tranquillisers to keep animals calm.
Keenan Reilly Rubbish! 12/1/2012 Is Indifference Corrosive? If you knew that your favorite food was made with a considerable amount of mercury, and that’s what made it so tasty, would you still eat it daily knowing that it was doing harm to your body? Being indifferent, is an alarmingly personal choice, it isn’t a stamp that makes something permanent forever, it is a moment by moment choice that is either being made consciously or unconsciously. Speaking for myself, I would stop eating that food if I knew there was mercury in it, because I care about my body, I know mercury is poisonous, etc, etc, I could go on with a list of reasons as to why I personally would not eat food with mercury in it.
I agree with carter in that without a language animals are unable to form thought and reason, and thereby have no realization of there existence. I also believe in the eating of meat because of natural order, I believe that, because we are a superior race we possess the right to eat weaker animals to survive, just as the wolf eats the rabbit because the rabbit is the wolves natural prey. Although vegetarians may argue that because we are able to reason and discern that another organism is feeling pain, unlike the wolf, we have an obligation to our prey to not cause them pain. But I believe that while we may cause pain to another animal, it is the natural order, animals that are born as prey are preyed upon, whether or not they are born on a farm or in the wilderness doesn't change the fact that they are still able to satisfy a predators needs. Rachels and other vegetarians claim that
Capella University Professor Brock Boudreau OM8020 – Quantitative Research Techniques 1/23/2011 Deliverable 1 One of the most important steps in the context of the proposed study of grilling is to conduct a literature review. The Journal of Food Science is the scientific literature of choice that will enlighten this researcher on the theory of grilling foods. A food thermometer is mandatory in checking the appropriate temperatures to which meats should be cooked. This article reviews the factors that can influence the final color of cooked meat. The color of the meat is not a good indicator of proper cooking.
Food should be served at the correct temperature; temperature should be monitored if food is kept in warming trays. 1.2 The main reason for implementing food safety is to keep individuals from becoming ill due to food not properly prepared. In a large setting such as banquets, weddings or group gatherings you can make a large portion of the population ill by not following proper food safety. These illnesses can range from mild (upset stomach, headache) to severe (death). Food should be thrown out or refrigerated after being left out for 2 hours.
Throughout the culture there is no social stratification but respect was given to those who were able to hunt and gather more than others. But by being generally egalitarian no one was poor or rich. For many hunter-gatherer societies their diverse ecosystem is the deciding factor for their survival. Many cultures alter their habitat for a better chance of survival but the native Inuit people were not able to do such due to the in climate weather. The Inuit, that inhabited Northern America within the Artic region, are almost pure hunters due to the fact that there is hardly any edible plant life.
2009 - To minimize the chance that Mad Cow Disease could enter the food chain, the U.S. permanently bans the slaughter of sick cows. 2011- Scientists are still discovering and documenting the ways that mad cow disease can be spread. Swiss scientists now know that inhaling prions, which float in the air at farms, factories and slaughterhouses can induce the disease. This makes it virtually impossible for the disease to be stopped because there are no laws against prions floating around in these places. In order to avoid getting Mad Cow Disease, you should avoid eating parts of the cow that may carry the infection.
Have you ever been in a restaurant eating your favorite food, then just when you are about to take a bite, you inhale a cloud of smoke coming from the nearby smoking section? This has been a complaint from many non-smoking restaurant goers. While it is true that smoking cigarettes and breathing them in causes many health problems, is it fair to take the freedom of those Americans who want to smoke and enjoy their meal? This topic is very debatable and in many cases has reached compromises, but I would stand by the argument that smoking should be banned from all public areas because the unfiltered smoke is getting into the lungs of bystanders who do not smoke, and causing major health problems, and in many cases death. Smoking might be “relaxing” now, but it will mess with your body later.
Although pesticides and antibiotics are heavily used to keep poultry chickens protected from diseases. Moreover, recent studies have shown that excess of protein intake in a person’s diet leads to the loss of bone calcium as meat eaters generally get for more protein then they actually need or can use. So, in order to live a healthy and long life span one should switch from non-vegetarian to vegetarian or vegan diet. On the other hand, most vegetables are naturally low in fat and calories. Vegetables are important sources of many nutrition including potassium, dietary fibre, folic acid.
