According to “Eating Animals” by Jonathan Safran Foer, people eat chicken, pork, beaf, but they do not know and do not tend to know from where does it come from. This meat brings new pandemic every year. Eating vegetable is more healthier than meat. I believe that we should stop our meat eating habits in order to save ourselves and the environment. Many pigs, chickens etc are sick in farms. companies so not care about the health of the animals. These companies sale many pigs and chickens, which are infected from harmful bacteria. The writer says,” millions of chickens leaking yellow pus, stained by green feces, contaminated by harmful bacteria...or skin conditions are shipped for sale to consumers” (Foer, page 134). After eating sick animals, it transmits disease to human body. The contaminated meat brings new flu every year all over the world. Many people were died by such meat. Recently many Americans died by Swine Flu . Although swine Flu killed many people, American are not aware of eating animals. They are not curious to know from where the meat is coming from.

Red Meat
Red meat in traditional culinary terminology is meat which is red when raw and not white when cooked. Red meat includes the meat of most adult mammals. Red meat is darker colored meat, as contrasted with white meat. The exact definition varies by time, place, and culture, but the meat of adult mammals such as cows, sheep and horses is invariably considered red, while chicken and rabbit are invariably considered white. The American Institute for Cancer Research and World Cancer Research Fund stated in their report “Food Nutrition, Physical Activity, and the Prevention of Cancer: a Global Perspective” that there is “ convincing” evidence that red meat intake increases the risk for colorectal cancer, and that there is “suggestive” evidence that it increases the risk of lung, pancreatic and endometrial cancer. Red meat consumption is associated with cardiovascular diseases, possibly because of its high content of saturated fat. It has been proven that increased beef intake is associated with fatal ischemic heart disease.
