One main idea from the book Eating Animals is the way humans are raised to eat animals. We are use to doing things that were taught to us since we were little. We knew that eating chicken and beef will make our bodies healthy because this kind of foods have vitamins and good nutrients that we need in order to grow healthy. We only follow our beliefs and don’t realize that all these animals are being abused and go through a lot of suffering before they become our meals. As Safran states “animals suffer tend to grant that animals feel pain at one level but deny them the sort of being “(Foer, 76). I believe that the author is telling us that even though animals can’t express their pain they are suffering, they feel a lot of pain, but the sad thing is that most of us don’t know or don’t want to know what is going on with these animals .Maybe because this is a matter that if I don’t know I am not involved with this issue and I have nothing to do with this, it is not my problem. We know that this isuue should concern all human beings.

Eating Animals
In the book Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer he talks about an idea “externalize “ in page 34 .The author is referring to this term in a serous and truthful way. He says that the factory farming system has forgotten or put aside a big reality which is affecting our environment, animal cruelty and also human diseases. These big issues are out there and are affecting us so rapidly that most of us are not aware of this problem being caused by our factory farming system. The worst part of this serious matter is that there isn’t any solution available to try to fix this problem. They are not thinking about the tremendous impact that this is causing in our lives. Raising cows with a lot of chemicals which will affect us in some serious way, making all those poor animals suffer, treating them so cruelty abusing them in every possible way it is just not human like to do this kind of things.
