In the essay, “I’m Not Leaving Until I Eat This Thing” John T. Edge begins to unfold the profile through sensory detail. Edge starts by telling us it’s “Thursday afternoon in June at Jesse’s Place” (74) and “the air conditioner hacks and spits …Artic air” (74) where his only task is to eat pickled pig lips. Consequently, something he is desperately dreading to do. He drinks four beers to build enough courage to eat the pig lips. Edge describes how he, “poke[s] and prod[s] the six-inch arc of pink flesh” (76) before, the barkeep's wife jokes saying, “You gonna eat that thing or make love to it” (76). An expert share coating the pig lips with salty potato chips makes it easier to swallow. He realizes it is not that bad and “eyes the pig feet

However, when Lucy refuses to eat the meat cooked for her, Vernon lashes out and forces her to do so by continuing to pester her with his ignorance and presumptuous behavior. Lucy, being terrified, forcibly eats the meat given to her despite her regards of becoming a vegetarian after their break up.

Imagery of how workers were getting sick when pulling the guts out of the slaughtered pigs that for the most part can only leave readers saddened. “A culture that just uses a pig as a pile of protoplasmic inanimate structure, to be manipulated by whatever creative design the human can foist on that critter, will probably view individuals within its community, and other cultures in the community of nations, with the same type of disdain and disrespect and controlling type mentalities,” (Wiber 350). Wiber tries to establish that these meat products are anything but one hundred percent real meat. Instead they’re filled with artificial fillers made of who knows

Jonathan Foer, the author, uses “Eating Animals is Making us Sick” to illustrate his goal of how dangerous food is to the audiences health. Foer explains how there is a large quantity of zoonotic diseases in the food Americans consume and shows how much it can actually affect the consumer. Jonathan Foer argues animal consumption is hazardous to the health of Americans successfully because he uses the rhetorical appeals ethos, pathos, and logos to show how much zoonotic diseases are in the meat. Jonathan Foer’s intended audience includes: parents, Americans, and people who have/ are sick due to a “food borne illness.” Everyone is not aware enough of how bad meat is treated before it hits the table.

Many people who think that the way that we treat animals in the process of raising those for human consumption are wrong never stop, to think what they can do to stop this problem from further occurring. Furthermore, they make impassioned calls for more “humanely” raised meat. Instead to soothe their consciences they shop for “free range” meat, and eggs; which has no importance. Even if an animal is raised ‘free range” it still lives s life of pain and suffering that all ends with a butcher’s knife. Although many know that over 53 billion land animals are slaughtered each year for human utilization they still tend to eat this meat with no problem. The simple explanation is that many don’t care what happens to animals as long as they are eating and healthy. If they did care then they would what could be a difficult choice; to go without eating meat and selling it in any form.

You may know Cassandra Corbit as just a normal senior at Fivay High School, but did you know that she was a vegetarian? No surprise that the dog lover wouldn't dare touch a slab of meat, but that's not the reason why there's no beef in her diet. "I didn't change for the animals," Corbit explains. "It was just a bonus."

“Naked Lunch” by Michael Hollinger is, a discussion between two young people that are conflicted by their outlook. I didn’t understand the concept of the value of a piece of meat relating to the different messages the play sends. Some knowledge I receive from the play was Lucy’s submissive attitude and the stereotypical scenario with which we the viewers were presented. Vernon’s absence of respect to Lucy’s views is todays America hands down, I believe if you don’t agree with someone’s views that’s okay, but you don’t have to disrespect someone’s outlook. That’s all I receive from reading this play.

An intense, aggressive moral scrutiny has sparked interest in the meat eating community. Eating is an activity that we as humans do frequently, and the variety of food is immense. We decide what we are about to eat and how it will affect our bodies. In different societies, controversy has arisen over the morality of eating meat from animals. However, the moral and ethical arguments of eating meat is not a new debate. Roger Scruton’s essay, “A Carnivore’s Credo”, addresses both carnivores and vegetarians by using an appeal to pathos and ethos to persuade people of the need to “remoralize” eating meat, and extrapolating that to mean that human beings have the conscious ability to choose and stand up for moral right and wrong.

The way these farmers or workers treat these animals are very horrifying. They are feeding the animals with antibiotics and artificial foods so that they can grow bigger faster in a short period of time. He also explained that there are no seasons at supermarkets because the fruits and vegetables are being picked when it was green from halfway across the country. Products are even being imported from outside of the country. The products are being ripened with ethylene gas. The film went on to show that the meat no longer has bones. If you follow the packaging of these products, you would be surprised what

Cannibalism is one of the strangest and most horrific American taboos. When the common person thinks of cannibalism, a ballistic, deranged, serial killer who cuts his victims into pieces and boils them in bloody water quickly comes to mind. Cannibalism is precisely defined as the eating of one's

What is the ideal doneness of a burger? Some may claim that well-done is the best, others may like medium-rare. While this is one of the most common questions asked in regards to meat-eating, there is an even more important one that everyone should be asking. What are the ethical implications of eating meat? This oft-debated question has been obscured, especially in recent years, by the outcry for the humane treatment of animals being raised for food. There have been many recent documentaries, books, and debates about how these animals sometimes never see sunlight before they are slaughtered, among many other abusive treatments. In his essay, “Animal, Vegetable, Miserable,” Gary Steiner raises this issue of the morality of meat-eating and challenges the readers to question their own views on this topic. Regardless of the morality of eating meat or using animal products, Steiner does not support his claim strongly enough to be accepted.
