Poor Cows :(

            Today in Western Civilization class we watched a video about how us humans came to advance to much in technology and thrive in today’s environment. This video was again confirmed Jared Diamond’s theory that everything that decided our fate was geographical luck. Although this video went a step further and even went into detail about what happened in the past and how it affects us today. The host of the show, John Greene, even told us about how complicated it is to even make a burger! That’s when Mr. Schick stopped the video and talked to us about what happens to cows and other animals that fast food restaurants use. He told us that at places like the McDonald’s slaughter house they line up cows in pens that are just barely bigger than the cow and constantly feed the cow hormone filled food. The saddest part of this why of life is that the cows spend their entire life in these pens until they are walked out to get slaughtered. It’s sad to think that this happens and I wish that we are as healthy as those that came before us, but until we eat more natural things we won’t be the same.
