Pro Meat Eating Article

Reading Gary C. Smith's article, "Why People Eat Meat," it helped me realize how sincere some pro meat eating arguments can be. I believe that Smith did a good job defending the why eating meat is rational. He showed the nutritional benefits of eating meat which I had not heard of before. Through eating meat, human beings get the best source of iron. I thought this was interesting because usually meat eating is frowned upon due to high cholesterol. Also, I thought it was interesting how Smith faced the slaughterhouse problems in his article. By saying this, it made me realize that he does realize there is a need for change in the meat industry.

Through trying to find a pro meat eating article, I realized how the most valid ones face both the negative and positive side attributes to meat eating. People who defend meat eating in this manner truly understand why meat eating can be viewed as rational or irrational.
