These animals are forced to repetitively give birth, either for creating more meat or producing as much milk as possible, without any concern for their health or wellness. "Is it part of the gulf we draw between ourselves and other animals that leads farmers to talk of animals as 'farrowing' rather than 'giving birth,' 'feeding' rather than 'eating,' and 'gestating' rather than 'being pregnant'?” (p. 341). Changing these words in such a way is meant to make it easier for people who drink milk from a store or eat pre-packaged meat to enjoy such fruits of nature without worrying about the lives of the animals from which they came. Most people do not want to know about the enormous number of animals being confined to small pens, the techniques used to get cows to over-produce milk, or how the animals are slaughtered. The farmers producing these animals
They simply don’t care about what’s in their food products. Because consumers don’t care, the way they eat becomes an unhealthy habit. Consumers don’t care how much they eat and little do they know that corn sweeteners have become a leading cause of obesity and Type 2 diabetes in the United States. We have grown so much corn that our environment’s been overexposed, so we have no choice but to put it in everything we eat, drink, and put our health at risk. Even with this overexposure to corn, consumers don’t question how corn has affected our bodies and our environment.
There is no guarantee that raw ground beef or sprouts will be free of certain harmful bacteria. These foods provide a favorable environment for bacterial growth, whereas, the production process does not include a step to reduce these bacteria, such as cooking or pasteurization. For these foods, irradiation provides a bacteria-killing step. However, one association disagrees that the issue and claims that irradiation only covers up problems that the meat and poultry industry should solve, increasing the fecal contamination that results from speeded up slaughter and decreased federal inspection. Per Organic Consumers Association, Irradiation is a ‘magic bullet’ that will enable the company to say that the product was ‘clean’ when it left the packing plant.
As Shipman puts it in the Penn State press release about the research, if we only think about what domesticated animals do for us as a species, we miss the truly curious thing about our relationship to them: No other mammal routinely adopts other species in the wild — no gazelles take in baby cheetahs, no mountain lions raise baby deer…. Every mouthful you feed to another species is one that your own children do not eat. On the face of it, caring for another species is maladaptive, so why do we humans do this? Although researchers working on symbiotic inter-species relationships might highlight that the support of other species hardly requires adopting their young and feeding them canned kitten food (a critique Travis Pickering levels in his comments), Shipman’s statement highlights nicely that human-animal inter-species relationships seem to extend beyond merely treating them as tameable prey or means to a human end. But then again, this super-instrumentality could be
1.) Three appropriate actions taken by The Big Cheese staff: * As for every Food and Beverage Manager or Director, when an employee feels ill or under the weather sending them home is essential. Not having any type of sick employee or disease around the food product will lessen the risk of any customer obtaining sickness from the employee. * Even though Gypsy was looking out for the best of the customer and business, she cannot throw full plates of food in the kitchen. It is significantly unprofessional by acting the way she did by arguing to the point that the customers heard her and throwing the plate.
Nonetheless, it is difficult for someone to grasp a clear understanding of why and to what extent the job of the knocker is absolutely necessary in the slaughterhouse. Everyone is free to make choices, yet in the industrialized slaughterhouse, the knocker—among all 121 workers— is offered the least sense of agency. One might say the knocker has the option of not shooting the cattle, but in reality he does not. The knocker’s lack of agency exists for two reasons: The obvious and most logical reason the knocker would not stop what he does is because he will slow down the line. In turn, he runs the risk of being dismissed from the slaughterhouse and left out of a job.
Some people choose veganism for dietary reasons. It can help protect against obesity, diabetes arthritis and also heart diseases. Ethical vegans do not eat any products that are made from or by animals but also do not use any other products that are from animals, such as leather, wool and silk. Beeswax, bone char, gelatin and lard are also products from animals that ethical vegans do not use. Vegan diets must be planned out thoroughly because many vegan dishes are low in vitamin B12, calcium, vitamin D, iron, zinc, iodine and omega-3 fatty acids.
This is indeed a great accomplishment for our country; however what is the secret behind these companies success? The answer is simple; Make and sell cheap food products and end up getting enormous income! When companies use this method, the food that they are selling is not of best quality and is always unhealthy for the consumers. Michael Pollan a food expert says, “Cows are not designed by evolution to eat corn. They’re designed by evolution to eat grass.
Third, major companies, which work closely with GMOs, intend to monopolize market-foods. Finally, to prevent GMO, it should be labeled and people should be recognized how dangerous GMO for us. First of all, in the fact that mankind doesn’t have tried to eat GMOs injected a gene from another species, GMOs will not be ensured food security unlike proven organic foods which has been eaten for human history. In despite of the dangerousness, the foods have still been on our table without verification. No one can guarantee that how GMOs’ side effects will be long-term and continuous and proving safety is beyond the capabilities of current technology.
Why Eat Organic Meat Do you eat organic meat? If you answered no to this question, you are just like other millions of Americans who are oblivious to the fact that non-organic meat is not only bad for you, but is also bad for the environment. Non-organic meat also promotes animal cruelty in some cases. A few reasons why you should eat organic meat include the fact that producers add hormones and other chemicals to generic meat brands; today’s factory farms pollute our environment, and the abuse and ill treatment of animals is often an occurrence for some factory farmers. According to the nutrition labels in today’s generic meat brands such as Great Value, Oscar Meyer, and Hampshire Farms, preservatives and other chemicals such as sodium phosphates, sodium ascorbate, sodium nitrate and hormones are added.
