For thousands of years, pork has been forbidden by many religions. As a Muslim, I have been always considering why pork was forbidden. Finally, I have found out that pork was not only forbidden in Islam, it was also forbidden in many religions and cultures. Many scientific research about pork meat shows how dangerous pork is for humans. People love to eat pork in many countries all around the world of course; however, pork increases the cancer risk because of its nutrients. The most important reason is pork’s digestive system, which causes all the sicknesses and cancer risks in humans’ body. Everybody should avoid pork, because pork cannot digest toxins that make people sick, pork has a big amount of fat that makes people obese, the employees …show more content…

According to Emily Main, in late 2012, Consumer Reports magazine has tested about 240 whole and ground pork products. 83% of those pork products were positive for many bacteria, which can make humans very sick such as fever, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. The US pork is also banned in some countries because of a drug called ractopamine, which makes their growth speed faster. Pork is very perishable, so it can make people depressed as well, because of the nutrition that is not fresh (Main 2013). Science does not lie by the observed evidence. Therefore, people must consider listening more carefully about what science says about eating pork. If the percentage of bad pork is eighty-three, then people should immediately stop eating pork products. Statistical variables on pork must be enough for anyone who tends to eat pork again. Otherwise, peoples’ lives are going to be unhealthy and so cancer …show more content…

Since it is very easy to reach the information, people must analyze and decide what they want to do, listen to, read, or eat. According to Dr. Josh Axe, “what you choose to eat is up to you. Myself, I choose to stay away from unclean pork (and shellfish). The reasons discussed here are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to eating pigs and your health. If you think you can just opt for a “higher quality” pork product, think again. Don’t be fooled by a “no hormones added” claim when it comes to pork because even though it might be true, hormones are not allowed in the U.S. for any pork production. It’s the pig itself, the factory-farm conditions and the common use of drugs that are some of the main problems that “hormone free” will not get rid of or negate. Do your own research, carefully consider what the Bible so many years ago warned us about, and then make your own educated decision about what you choose to feed yourself and your loved ones” (Axe

Paul Starobin’s “Pork: A Time Honored Tradition Lives On” discusses the control exerted upon local appropriations by the Legislative Branch. The author points the divide the practice of “porking” creates within the House, fiscal conservatives are fundamentally against it, while some democrats support the action. Those in opposed to the method find that it creates budget inefficiencies because the federal funding is being used to finance local projects and special interests, which is generally done for political gain. However, those in favor, believe, as elected officials, their duty is to fight for the benefits of the people and areas they were chosen to represent. In reality, there needs to be a healthy balance between the two sides, central

Instead, big companies are choosing to risk their client’s health by feeding animals what they are not supposed to eat and pumping them with e Coli and stuffing them in a tiny barn where they can’t flap a wing and are forced to stand in feces which may or may not be their own . In The Jungle, they described how they treated dead animal meat, now just imagine how they must have treated the alive animals. This next quote is describing how they kept the meat . “Every Spring they did it; and in the barrels there would be dirt and rust and old nails and stale water- and cartload after cartload of it would be taken up and dumped into the hoppers with fresh meat, and sent out to the public’s breakfast” (Pg. 143, The Jungle)

This is shown by the claim in the film that "Any animal protein boosts the level of cancer promoting growth hormone IGF-1" (What the Health, Anderson). With a focus on the words "cancer promoting," this statistic aims to draw the viewer's attention. By claiming that all animal proteins cause cancer, the producers expect the audience to link meat with illness. This is useful because it aligns with the film's overall goal of convincing viewers to abandon meat diets in favor of plant-based diets. This is also apparent when the film claims that "99.4% were able to avoid major cardiac events by going plant-based" (What the Health, Anderson).

It seems as if the motive to the industry has not changed since federal laws were passed in 1906; that is, they look for a quick processing line. The pressure to be quick has not stopped, causing many to become sick and injured. An article from Mint Press in 2014 stated “The U.S. Department of Agriculture that would raise top processing speeds by nearly 25 percent.” At the least, they are trying to attack the bacteria within the meat by zapping it with x-ray and gamma ray

In the article, “Is It Possible to be a Conscientious Meat Eater”, the authors argue that processed meat can greatly affect the many things in our everyday life. Sunaura and Alexander’s argument is significantly unreliable because of the certain professions both authors yield. As stated in the article “Sunaura is an artist, writer, and activist in Oakland.” “Alexander’s profession is studying philosophy, and ethics in Athens, Georgia.” This shows that neither of them are qualified to argue in the subject of conscientious meat eaters.

Alongside to the economic benefits that meat brings into our society, meat industries also help people from the lower class. Without meat industries, people from the lower class would eventually starve out as their easy and cheap access to food would be taken away from them. Simply eating small grains and vegetables would no longer provide the same amount of nutrients in their diet as previously mentioned in the paragraph above. It is for this reason that eating meat is ethical as taking it away would cause detrimental effects to our

There’s not much scientific evidence that organic food is safer than the traditional food, as conducting such studies is not that easy. Even then the studies done were not really in humans. The one difference though is in the antioxidants but doesn’t prove that human health improves due to more anti-oxidant properties in organic food. While organics have become more desirable by the consumers, but at the same time, it doesn’t hold more nutritional value as oppose to non-organic food. There is one difference in the making of organic food; that is, the chemicals etc.
