Eating meat in today's society is a very necessary evil. Eating meat connects people in a very strong way through culture and of course the dinner table. We wake up to eggs and bacon, have a burger for lunch, and have fried chicken for dinner. Just writing that made my mouth water; in fact doesn't that prove that humans are hardwired to crave and enjoy meat? Taking away humans eating meat is like stripping a huge part of human life and culture. I don't think a huge amount of people would denounce meat, it is seemingly impossible to me. A carnivorous diet, when practiced in moderate and humane ways, is beneficial to humans, animals and the environment. One reason to endorse humane meat production, explained in Michael Pollan's, "The Omnivore's Dilemma," is that eating meat is a prominent part in human evolution, human culture, and in tradition. On page (314) of "The Omnivore's Dilemma," Pollan unfolds that human brains grew in size and complexity around the fire pits where the kill of the day was cooked, and at this point human culture grew due to the meat. Pollan's findings are a huge example of how human culture benefited from eating meat. What Pollan's finding show me is that through meat consumption people created culture and tradition. This even connects to today where people have many cultural facets where meats is used in celebration; for example, on Thanksgiving turkey is eaten, on 4th of July many people eat barbeque meats, and for me personally, a family party is not complete without a big pan of pork being cooked. Meat is super prominent in human life and we almost couldn't evolve without it. Our carnivorous diet would even benefit the animals that are being eaten if practiced in a way that is humane to the animals. This benefit can only happen on a small farm where the animals are actually treated right. One great examples of farming that guarantees great animal welfare is a farm called Polyface ran by a man named Joel Sala
