The Omnivores Dilemma Response

This reading is definitely eye opening to me as to why people choose to be vegetarians. As years go on farmers have been trying to find the cheapest ways to feed their cattle so they can be big enough for slaughter. The most shocking thing they used to do was feed left over cow parts to the live cows. This was proven to cause mad cow disease so they outlawed it in 1997, but why would farmers think this is okay in the first place? Feeding a cow cow parts just seems unethical in itself. Another thing that the FDA cannot outlaw that still seems unethical is that they can still feed fat from cows to other cows as long as it is all compiled. This is still going on today, and I don't think animals should be forced into cannibalism! Especially since these farms are expanding into corporate farms the killing of the animals and treatment of them gets worse and worse. Corn is the cheapest way of feeding animals, but causes the animals to have many problems. This type of treatment gets worse and worse. This article is a huge inspiration to what my group should choose for our topic, and was definitely eye opening.
