In this week readings, I found very interesting to read. I found chapter 17 to be more interesting to me than chapter 16. In chapter seventeen, Pollen takes about how eating animals is more thought of than any other subjects. Animals are in the food chain and if people are not to eat it then who is? Other animals? I just think that it is part of life even though I do agree that the way we treat and slaughter animals is inhuman. If every famer would take time to treat the animals better than the cost of would most likely rise and the way the economy is many people would not be very happy. Whatever anyone does is going to make the other mad. No one in the world is going to get what they want to make them happy. I could never see myself as a vegetarian but watching movies like Food Inc. makes me think that the way we treat animals is wrong but I can’t help but eat meat. I grew up on eating meat, just like what pollen says that we are connected to history through food. For example he says were turkey for Thanksgiving or hotdogs at a baseball game are all traditions that connect everyone with history. All in all chapter 17 sparks the ideas of eating meat is wrong in some senses.
