    We, in the United States are meant eaters. Today’s news is often filled with the effects and causes of global warming, with the main focus being related to carbon gas (CO2) emissions, reducing oil-based and coal energy usage. By comparison, what is not well known or often reported, is the tremendous impact of raising farm animals, mostly cows and chicken, for food production, the strain on resources, carbon emission, and the corresponding toxic run-off, to name a few. By further investigating the results of these massive farm production undertakings, and how damaging their impact is to the planet as reported by John Vidal in an article published in “The Guardian”, the current way these animals are raised is more recently of interest by politicians, scientists, economists, and the UN alike. Our relationship with animals is severe and must be changed in order to help solve the human and ecological concerns, and solve the problem of the already 1 billion people who do not have enough to eat and the 3 billion more people to feed within 50 years (Vidal).…

    Eating animals has been a regular meal for humans for many centuries, but it has also been opposed by veganists for many years. Although consuming animals has been opposed by vegan aficionados, it has also been a source of controversy because of how factory farming produces the meat we eat in our daily meals. In the book “Eating Animals” we get the sense that the author will be arguing and encouraging veganism, but instead he argues about how the meat we consume is produced. The author Jonathan Safran Foer’s main claim in the book is about boycotting animal factory farming and encouraging traditional husbandry because factory farm animals are stuffed with antibiotics, mutilated, tightly confined, and deprived of stimulation. While traditional…

    In the article, “Food Security: The Challenge of Feeding 9 Billion People,” published on January 28, 2010, Charles Godfray asserts that because of the continuing growing population and the growth of food consumption, the demand for food will increase for at least 40 years due to the lack of certain factors which could prevent the issues being faced with the demand for food. Godfray supports his implication by supplying the reader with a variety of causes as to why the demand for food has continued to rise such as the yield gap, production limits, the change of diets, yet at the same time provides solutions to these certain complications which could reduce the demand for so much food. Moreover, Godfray wishes to convey the readers into understanding the importance of reducing the impact of the food system on the environment and the certain precautions or actions that can be taken in order to better the situation by creating a “multifaceted and linked global strategy” to…
