For example, baby chickens are useless so they will be crushed in grinders. According to FAO statistics, humans kill 200,000,000 animals a day. Also, we use natural resources to raise animals. According to Poore and Nemceck’s research, 83% of farmland is used for farming. Also, 27% of freshwater is used for meat and dairy production. If this continues, wildlife populations will decrease and ecosystems will be destroyed for farming animals.
Moreover, stopping meat consumption would lead to health benefits, such as improved gut health and lower risk of disease. According to AP opinion, processed foods and refined grains could harm gut bacteria, and eating some fiber-rich plant food promotes gut health. Also, stopping meat consumption would reduce a risk developing health issues such as inflammation, diabetes, cancer, and high cholesterol levels. On the contrary, some people say that if we eat meat, we have less percentage to have disease. They say like that because meat has many nutrition. However, it could be different depending on individual body condition. This proves that people could have a happy life of no worries about disease.
In summary, we should cut out meat from our diet because meat consumption have issues of farming domestic animals. And, no meat consumption leads to no worries about diseases. Regarding animal farming, humans kill 200,000,000 animals a day. For health benefits, our intestines will be healthy. Everyone loves the taste of meat, but we should stop deaths and torture about animal and must be healthy.
