Some people think that killing animals for food is cruel, but others claim that animals are a necessary part of the diet. What is your opinion?

Raising and slaughtering

animals

for the consumption of the population is a widespread phenomenon.

Although

it has been condemned as animal cruelty,

meat

is a necessity for human

health

and well-being. As far as I know,

meat

is part of the diet and there are no other animal

food

sources. On the one hand, animal foods provide a variety of nutrients that are difficult to obtain in sufficient amounts from plant-based foods. Inadequate intake of these nutrients can lead to adverse

health

effects

such

as stunted growth. A diet with a good combination of

meat

and vegetables is considered to be of great importance. Some may argue that

meat

consumption poses

health

risks and increases the risk of foodborne illness.

This

statement is false, given that one can kill bacteria and eliminate risk factors by cooking properly and using scientific methods in production.

On the other hand

, the majority of

meat

sold in supermarkets is produced by factory farms.

Due to

the intensive use of modern technology and mass production techniques, produced

animals

, birds and fish cannot be taken as ordinary

animals

, but only as industrial products. Industrial farming is important in solving

food

supply problems by using lean economics to produce enough

food

at affordable prices.

Therefore

,

while

the importance of using

animals

as a

food

source cannot be denied, it is important to understand that humans cannot exploit

animals

and become addicted to

meat

consumption.

For example

, animal fat increases the risk of heart disease, and

meat

is consistently associated with

food

poisoning. At the same time, people's insatiable appetite for

meat

can lead to intensive animal husbandry and animal slaughter, which directly affects animal welfare worldwide. From the previous discussion, it is impossible to see why

animals

and other

animals

should not be used as

food

.

While

switching to a non-animal diet is a personal choice, the question remains whether a person is getting enough of the nutrients they need for their

health

. When there is little room for debate about the use of

animals

for

meat

, standards should be set and animal exploitation prevented.
