It is unethical to eat animals in 2016. We no longer need to eat meat or other animal derived products to survive. The meat and dairy industry is a million dollar industry that shields people from learning the truth about what they eat. Meat increases your risk of getting cancer. Meat increases your risk of having high cholesterol. Meat has many hormones and drugs that are not intended for human consumption. Meat is rotting flesh of a animal that is sprayed with chemicals to appear "fresh" and it is proven that eating meat will shorten your life span. If your health is not enough how about the fact that animal agriculture is directly responsible for climate change, world hunger and droughts. Animal agriculture requires a lot of space and food for the animals if all the food fed to animals was used to feed people we could end world hunger. Besides the health and enivorment reasons billions of animals are slaughter each year. To have a healthy sustainable society we must stop animal agriculture.
