Parramatta Personal Trainer talks about ethics and food consumption
A question of ethics for animal consumption – Is eating meat inhumane?
As a Parramatta Personal Trainer I say the answer is yes if an animal is not raised biodyanamically and organically and as part of a biodiverse system, or permacultrue. What this means, animals that are raised on pasture as much of the year as possible, fed organic feed or natural medicines when sick, not exposed to pesticides or weedicides from the land or given antibiotics or hormones. They feed off pasture which is grown in nutrient dense soil. Non-organic or monocultured raised animals are raised in confined areas; eat from feedlots rather than pasture and heavily medicated with very short lives. Rearing animals in this way is not healthy for the animal or the human consuming the animal, as animals are also what they eat and their environment.
