Meat Addiction

It’s been scientifically proven that it’s better for our bodies to get our protein from plant-based sources rather than meat, yet the average American eats 200 pounds of meat per year. Meat and dairy consumption are linked with numerous health risks including cancer, heart disease, obesity and more; however, the U.S. government and many medical doctors (MDs) support the false ideology that people need to consume a specific amount of meat and dairy products to maintain a healthy diet.

We are exposed to corporate and government propaganda encouraging us to consume meat and dairy products starting at a very young age. We are mislead to believe that animal products are healthy for our bodies and a necessity for growing children.

When our ancestors killed animals, it was a survival skill; eat or be eaten. Meat is now mass produced through factory farming and pumped with hormones and antibiotics. Animals are fed their own fecal matter and GMOs and suffer constant emotional, physical and sexual abuse.

Besides the health risks of eating meat, consumers simply purchase meat from a store without having to watch the animals suffer in order to get it and it’s completely unnecessary for survival.
