Unethical Perspectives of Eating Meat

Meat has been part of many people's daily diet in the world. The culture of meat-eating results in the slaughtering of thousands of animals every day for meat production. In the United States, research shows that the average American consumes about fifty-five pounds of beef annually. The research is based on the 2019 USDA food availability data (Davis and Lin 2005). Despite the dietary use of meat, many studies have shown that meat is not an essential part of our diet. Additionally, many arguments have been raised on whether eating meat is ethical.
