In
this
day and age, many hold the view that the use of animals to produce food and various products in different aspects of society namely clothing and
medicine
is no longer necessary. From my perspective, I wholeheartedly side with
this
view and will discuss several compelling reasons in
this
essay.
These days, advocates of reducing
meat
intake as the primary food source in daily meals should have their
justified. In fact, there is a growing concern over the issue related to life-threatening cancers and cardiovascular disease, two of which might be caused by excessive consumption of red
meat
on a regular and long-term basis.
This
seems to reflect poor health conditions amongst consumers, raising the demand for appropriate changes in human diets with a view to addressing
meat
-related health challenges and improving public health.
As a result
, a myriad of alternative
meat
products are available in the market. A typical example of these alternatives is apparently exemplified through a plant-based diet, which is scientifically proven to provide the same number of nutrients for consumers as a
meat
-based diet. If a person consumes mushroom and tofu regularly, their body will still function extremely well on account of high levels of protein in these two ingredients, once thought to be exclusively found in
meat
.
Furthermore
, alternatives have been introduced to gradually replace animal products in
and clothing industry.
In particular
, medical experiments on animals have long been criticised for their inhumanity and brutality, causing animals to suffer for human personal gains. I firmly believe that modern
medicine
is likely to express a preference for plant-based treatment through the use of herbs and unique plant types
such
as ginseng to cure diseases, prolong human life expectancy and aid medical practitioners. To a certain extent, the idea of using plants in
medicine
triggers a change in the attitude of fashion industry. A large number of designers are currently attempting to experiment
plant materials to manufacture high-end clothing lines and accessories,
thus
safeguarding endangered species including tigers and crocodiles against being killed for fur and skin to cater the needs for luxury coats and handbags.
In conclusion, I personally contend that animals should not be taken as a material in
and
medicine
, or consumed in our daily meals. Alternatives to animal products are available in
of plants, which seems a better and more humane option to be experimented and
further
developed in the long run.
