I chllenge the view meat is a non-essential ingredient for healthy living. Many people believe meat is necessary in a properly balanced diet for humans.

Far from avoiding such foods because of the contaminations caused by modern farming methods, we carnivores are entitled to expect our food to be properly and healthily prepared for us.

It is bad farming practice that should be scrapped, not the eating of meat products.
