Consumers are eating unhealthy meat.

               In this blog i will offer my views  on  what i have learnt in class  this semester aboutr the rearing and slaughtering of animals for consumption by the Industrial Food System.
               Firstly, the animals are raised in confinement,they hardly move around.They stand on their urine and feces for long periods of time.Also they inhale and exhale the same air most of the time which makes them unhealthy. They are given antibiotics to boost their growth which enable them to gain weight at a faster speed. The cows are fed corn which is toxic as a result it makes them sick within a short period of time.


                Another burning issue is the way the animals are slaughtered for consumption by consumers.Very often the animals try to escape death,but are caught and thrown into boiling hot water alive and remain in the hot water tank to suffocate and die.Sometimes ,cows are slaughtered  on the ground and left to bleed consciously, instead of being placed on a hanger so the blood can be drained properly.

                 Furthermore,the government oversight body which is placed to examine the meat before  it goes to the market is failing in its duty to do so, because of  the Industrial Food System powerful and influential political connection.Imagine the system receiving billions of tax payers dollars as subsidy every year, only to pollute the air and water which the state and city has to pay for its cleaning.

                  In conclusion more Americans are getting sick(e.g) obese, diabetes and other health related  diseases by eating unhealthy meat produced by  the system and as a result the universe is getting more polluted with the animals waste.Therefore the Industrial Food Systems  are killing consumers ,while making hugh profits.
