Assertion to the excerpt of Meat Culture
I agree with the writer that animals are being subjected to cruelty when they are killed to become our
food. This claim of the writer is reflected in the first part of the text wherein the writer makes the readers
think of how the meat ended up on their dinner plates. The writer deliberately chose to say that
whenever he looks at the food on his plate, he also has mental images of what had to be done to the
animal for it to become someone’s food. By using the phrase “processes that brought it to their plate,”
the readers are made to imagine what an animal goes through just to end up on our dinner plates.
