What I think about food is that, even though animals are being killed to give us nutrition it is still the circle of life. Back in like 3.9 million years ago during the cavemen era the way to survival was killing and eating animals. Its natures natural instinct. Animals today eat and kill other animals. Although I don't agree with adding hormones and other bad toxins in food, i think that it is completely normal to kill animals to get nutrition. But lets say we didn't kill animals, the animal population would be so huge that people would be hitting them with their cars more, and since the population is so great the food that the animals eat would go done tremendous because more and more animals are eating the food that they would suffer from starvation.
I guess the way people think about this topic is they way they were brought up. If you come from a very liberal P.E.T.A family you were probably brought up to want animals to live and not suffering making you a vegan. On the other hand if you come from a very republican family who lives in the country and hunts probably have some very different ideas.
Lora,
ReplyDeleteYou have some interesting political thoughts involving food purpose and process. I hope to read more on this topic. The idea of family upbringing and location would be a good area to further develop and research. How often do children continue making the same food choices once they leave the coup? What would be the implications if people stopped eating animals? Have you ever hunted yourself and if so, what was that experience like?
Andy and I really need you to change your background/ and or font color, it is impossible to read.
It is also going to be important to re-read your responses at least 1-2 times so that you minimize spelling and grammar mistakes. I know with practice and looking at Andy's writing tips will improve your blog writing.
