With all the disease plaguing us are we “victims” to them or the “predators”? As in if we create the conditions that breed the diseases, ultimately are we “digging our own graves” at this rate?
While eating most people don’t look at the back of the food label or get to know the place where their food was processed. When eating or drinking a certain substance they don’t think about what the cow or pork on their plate was fed. Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer informs the public of two scenes the chick farm and pig slaughterhouse. Each of these places contain certain knowledge the public was unaware of. Foer wants to inform the public about what kind of harms factory farming has distributed.
Many diseases are becoming more common within the world. About 99 percent of all meat products in America are distributed by factory farms. A factory farm is a farm where animals are caged to closely together or there is a large amount of animals in one small area. When trying to find these factory farms, it’s much harder, because some of these so called farmers don’t want the public to know what is going on behind closed doors. When a calf is born, it’s allowed to stay by their mother side and eat grass for about six months. After it is transferred to eat grain and corn to help it grow much faster, even though they have not fully evolved yet. Factory Farmers don’t understand that when they introduce corn to the eating habits of cows they are causing the animal to get sick. Once a cow reaches fourteen months it is killed and the disease are transferred over to the human who is consuming it.
I do believe at times people are being ignorant when they don’t know what sickness the animal had or where their meat came from. Many hormones and antibiotics are distributed with each piece of meat that is consumed. I know their aren’t warning labels about the meat or mentioning what the product was fed, but if diseases keep on increasing around the world maybe their should be. Foer mentions in an article how “girls enter puberty earlier than they used to” due to the hormones used in some dairy products. The food they give cows progresses them much faster and as for the meat products or dairy products in which consumers receive they also progress much quicker. Family farms are always another meat option or diary option, because that family is also consuming from their and it's rare that they will be harmed with their own products. At the end I do believe some people are "digging their own grave" by not being informed about what they're eating or where their meat came from came from.
