In the “Carnivore’s Dilemma” (2010) Nicolette Hahn Niman tells us that the studies show only that the prevailing methods of producing meat - that is, crowding animals together in factory farms, storing their waste in giant lagoons and cutting down forest to grow crops to feed them - cause substantial greenhouse gases (169).

Farm factory This documentary awakens many feelings inside me. I am so concerned about this fact and to have learned and saw how it actually happens, I think that more than one could be saddened about it. Animals feed us, in fact it is their fundamental goal, the reason they are created. I believe we should be thankful and deliver some respect. They are inferior beings but they should not be cruelty treated. They do not have our rationality and cannot defend themselves against us. Besides the

relate to. Michael Pollan’s pathos in The Omnivores Dilemma are shown in several forms such as, dreadful and peaceful descriptions between the industrial farming and the grass-fed farming. As Pollan is arguing quality over quantity when it comes to the meat that we eat by describing his experience going to the farms and what goes on between the two farming styles.

As we drove further out of the city and up into the mountains, the amount of people rapidly declined. We were driving from Cusco, Peru, to a village called Calipata about four hours outside the city. When we got there, there were about twenty buildings in the valley and many scattered homes across the mountainside. At first glance I felt sympathetic for these people, and looked at the Andean people amongst the streets with pity and sympathy, but this mindset was soon to change. I soon learned that

environment. The big problem is that the new method of producing pork in factory rather than farm settings creates a buildup of waste material.

On the other hand, an appropriate number of animals raised through traditional farming methods allow manure to go back into the soil as fertilizer for the crops
