The use of meat products is both justifiable and extremely argued against. It’s been justified by religious beliefs, health reasons, and just plainly that people like the way that meat taste. However, it has also been shot down by the reasons of animal cruelty, the taking of an animal’s life, and to promote sustainability. The cost of life and the rates of animals cruelty among farms is undeniable and is a growing concern among consumers and non-consumers alike. However, I believe that people…

This paper will argue the from a cultural materialism perspective why deer is an acceptable meat to consume. Marvin Harris argues, in his book Good to Eat: Riddles of Food and Culture, that the protein composition of meat makes it an ideal food for human consumption because when eaten with plant proteins it allows us to extracted and use the proper amounts of proteins and vitamins to maintain healthy bodies (1985).

One of the reasons people choose to become vegetarians is the notion that people expose animals to “enslavement or exploitation…” (Pollan 108). The vegetarian lifestyle, in…

Over the last few years I have come upon many different studies and documentaries revolving around the cruelty to animals, which had made me begun to explore the option of living a more animal friendly life. In 2009 when I was around 15 I first heard about the concept of living a vegetarian diet as a means of being animal friendly, of course as a 15 year old my will power was not very strong and I caved and began to start consuming meat again. I did however convince my parents to get a few…

The chances of earth’s environment declining will only increase if humanity continues its meat eating habits, due to the global effects that raising livestock cause to the climate. It has recently been made known to the public on a larger scale, that one of the greatest factors to the ozone layer being damaged is from raising livestock.
