After completing this project, my view on meat and the meat industry has changed greatly. Before I made my research in this topic, I would just eat meat like it was any other food, After I made my research, I realized that the meat industry has a much more deeper impact than we realize. It affects the people that consume it by affecting their health with diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and cancer. It also affects the animals that are used for consumption because they are slaughtered in a very savage manner. It also causes global warming because of the methane the cattles release. Once I learned all of this information, it changed my perspective and makes me double think if I want to support and industry that causes so many issues. There’s no way to completely make meat industries disappear. It is a multibillion dollar industry that is run by smart businessmen. A way that we can help diminish the effects that the meat industry causes is by lowering or completely stop our meat consumption. Since demand for meat is high, this means people are consuming big numbers of meat therefore affecting their health for the worst. With less consumption of meat they will get rid of the negative impacts of meat on their bodies. If we reduce our meat consumption we will also help diminish the animal cruelty that goes on in the slaughterhouses because there won’t be as much demand for meat anymore. Lastly if there’s less demand in meat there will be less contamination to the environment because farmers won’t breed as much cattle anymore therefore diminishing methane gas released by cows. Working of this project made me see that it is important to pay attention to issues that not only affect you, but also affect others. I learned that in order to make a change in something you have to join the fight against an issue in any way you can.
