Animals as Food

As i was reading Pollans on Ethics of Eating Animals i realized i need to pick a side of eating animals or not eating animals. But the more i read the chapter and the way Pollans explains things, i felt like i don't need to make a decision on this or that. But based on overall of the class and what we have been reading, i am going to be more careful with what kind of meat i eat. Because i can't cut off meat completely since i have been eating it most of my life i will be more wise in choosing what i eat. The video clips on meat has got me to think a lot of cruelty towards animals and their sufferings and even though it does have impact on me, until i see it myself i don't think i will be serious to changing my diet. I definitely don't want to support mass production of meat by confining the space of animals and restricting them of natural behaviors. Because animals are still different from people, i believe that we have the right to eat them but at the same time consider what kind of process it must have taken for the meat to be on my table instead of just eating it like it's nothing.

Note: I keep pushing "save" instead of "publish post" when it is done on time and because of that i'm having to go back to editing to post it on the right date.
