Eating Animals

One main idea from "Eating Animals" by Jonathan Safron Foer, is how the animals are being raised in the farm factory's. I believe that the way animals are being raised in farm factories is really cruel. I believe animals should be in a clean and healthy environment. Animals are being fed left over of dead animals it could either be there own kind of species or other animals like dogs or cats or any other kind of animal that dies. Animals from the farm factory are kept in places where is dirty they sleep and eat in there own feces and they don't even have space to move around. Animals really don’t have a choice rather if they want to live or die I think the least the owners of these farm factories should do is keep them healthy give them good food treat them right and have a nice and clean environment for them to live at while they are alive. In Eating Animals Jonathan Safron Foer says "But nature isn’t cruel. And neither are the animals in nature that kill and occasionally even torture one another. Cruelty depends on an understanding of cruelty and the ability to choose against it or to choose to ignore it" (Foer, pg 53). What Jonathan Safron Foer means by this quote is that people choose to do the right thing or just ignore and not care about the animals feeling a lot of farmers know the pain and the suffering that the animals are going through being raised in that kind of environment and know the pain they go through when they are being killed but they don’t care all they care about is making there companies more famous and making more money.

Food

Food is any nourishing substance that is eaten, drunk, or otherwise taken into the body to sustain life, provide energy promote growth. There are many different foods in the world, many different taste many different smells and the way the food looks. Food is really important in every human’s life and also in every animal’s life too. But some people eat different kinds of food like there are some people that are vegetarians they only eat fruits, vegetables, nuts and grains they won't eat any food derived from animals. There are some people that would eat anything. Food pleases us in many different ways it makes us happy when we are sad or stress out it helps us relax and feel less stress; sometimes it even helps us forget our problems. Food makes us happy and it pleases our body and mind but we never really think about how does the food get made or where does it come from or how are the animals being grown and taken care off, for when the time comes for them to die to become the food that we eat we don't think of the pain and suffering they go through when they are being killed. Some humans ignore and some don't care about what the animals go through. Food can be very delicious for us humans and very important to us but at the same time is really sad too when you find out the way the meat is being processed to become the food we eat.
