Let's reduce intake of meat !

Even though I am not a vegetarian, I have some friends who are vegetarians. Whenever I asked them why they never eat meat, I could be heard about the reason why they do that, which is related to immoral eating habits of contemporaries. People in modern society have a tendency to make food, especially meat, by using inhuman ways. For example, lots of fowls are stuck in their cage only allowed to eat, sleep, and lay eggs. The similar way is also adapted to other different species including pigs, cows, sheep, etc.

It is probably natural to eat another species according to food chain in eco system. However, at the same time, we cannot live without other species, and we do not have any right to dominate them at all. Therefore, we need to be more responsible of eating them, being moderate in raising and confining them. 


However I agree that only a few people never eating meat cannot change this trend. Moreover, in spite of my realization demanding changes in eating habit, I am still eating meat every week. Then what we have to do to be responsible for eating other species by not using in human ways? It could be a reasonable solution to reduce intake of meat gradually. According to a research found in a newspaper, eating meat is not only unnecessary for people, but also harmful for health causing some lifestyle diseases because of fat from meat.  Therefore, taking in protein form tofu or beans, instead of  meat could make people more humane as well as healthy.
