Meet, Meat Industry

When people think about hamburgers coming from cattle they think about the fields surrounded by a quiet fence where cattle lazily grazing. In fact, beef is coming from cattle, she is forced to eat something that can not be digested, covered with feces on a narrow, noisy farm. Large companies are trying to hide the reality of food sources. The US government should enact laws to eliminate this problem. Veterinary meat, called meat grown in the laboratory, is being studied. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) should approve in vitro meat for human consumption.

One of the fastest growing industries in the world today is meat / livestock. Meat is considered an ordinary commodity. In other words, as consumer income increases, demand for meat also increases. Traditionally meat is considered expensive food in Western countries. As the population of the world increases and the economies of developing countries grow, the demand for meat also increases (Vinnari, 2008). The meat processing industry is one of the most significant contributors to the world's gas emissions and has a great impact on the environment and society. The use of land, energy, water, and various emissions and waste is widely recognized by people and governments (Vinnari, 2008). According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), meat production accounts for about one-fifth of greenhouse gas emissions. The meat industry has been adopting an unethical approach for many years.

Industrial agriculture contributes greatly to global climate change. The meat industry alone accounts for 15% of the artificial greenhouse gas emissions and is one of the most moisture intensive foods in the world. Companies are increasingly using various vegetable proteins to reproduce the meat perfectly, without serious environmental impact. There is also a moral meaning as to how animals are treated in slaughter houses and factory farms. Other laboratories cultivate stem cells harmlessly from animals, duplicate them, and use "3D mice" to create "no murder meat". Vegetable or laborally grown meat allows carnivores to continue their carnivorous lifestyle without these heavy environments and moral consequences
