The author asked questions that I myself wasn't aware of, and wanted to seek answers to as well. -JP https://padlet.com/matlockma/5cbirhkpfx88/wish/468611328 2020-03-21 00:33:18 UTC https://padlet.com/matlockma/5cbirhkpfx88/wish/468611328 Something that surprised me about this was the topic it makes me question it even more and want to find out the answers to the questions the author talked about in the beginning sentences https://padlet.com/matlockma/5cbirhkpfx88/wish/468647822 2020-03-21 02:28:37 UTC https://padlet.com/matlockma/5cbirhkpfx88/wish/468647822 I was surprised by how the author talks about more than one aspect realtinh to her main topic and how she is able to make me curious about why do we eat animals as it is. why is it that we eat specific animals but not pets and what is so appealing to lablesomething as healthy. https://padlet.com/matlockma/5cbirhkpfx88/wish/471633252 2020-03-23 20:00:30 UTC https://padlet.com/matlockma/5cbirhkpfx88/wish/471633252 The author thoughti assumed that the book was gonna be about vegetarians based on the tittle https://padlet.com/matlockma/5cbirhkpfx88/wish/471641156 2020-03-23 20:05:12 UTC https://padlet.com/matlockma/5cbirhkpfx88/wish/471641156 the topic of why we eat certain animals is a very complicated thing.

It is simple and common to most, yet we know that the title holds a deeper meaning, which intrigues others to want to know more. jennipham451 https://padlet.com/matlockma/5cbirhkpfx88/wish/495836915 2020-04-06 23:03:27 UTC https://padlet.com/matlockma/5cbirhkpfx88/wish/495836915 Since there are many different stories compiled into this excerpt, many viewpoints have been represented.As silly as this may seem, i'd say the viewpoint that hasn't been represented would be the animals viewpoint. Imagine being a pig seeing his whole family being slaughtered for pork, now that'd be a different story. jennipham451 https://padlet.com/matlockma/5cbirhkpfx88/wish/495855801 2020-04-06 23:31:31 UTC https://padlet.com/matlockma/5cbirhkpfx88/wish/495855801 This book is addressed to people who are not so informed on what they're eating. He wants to let them know the deeper meaning to what eating animals is from the inside view and not just the customer view. bryannalizpena406 https://padlet.com/matlockma/5cbirhkpfx88/wish/495858255 2020-04-06 23:35:21 UTC https://padlet.com/matlockma/5cbirhkpfx88/wish/495858255 My viewpoint has changed on this topic due to the fact that I never gave much thought on this matter.I just ate meat as I pleased, not thinking of the animals that are suffering due to it. Although I am more aware than I was before about eating meat, I wouldn't give up eating meat, but I will now try to eat more veggies to balance it out. jennipham451 https://padlet.com/matlockma/5cbirhkpfx88/wish/495858824 2020-04-06 23:36:26 UTC https://padlet.com/matlockma/5cbirhkpfx88/wish/495858824 The book is addressed to both meat and non-meat eaters. The author is trying to change the mind of meat eaters by informing them of what they're eating and how unneccessary it is to consume meat, since they're many other options of food to eat. The author is also addressing the book to non-meat eaters by telling them why they most-likely don't or stopped eating meat. jennipham451 https://padlet.com/matlockma/5cbirhkpfx88/wish/495861896 2020-04-06 23:41:30 UTC https://padlet.com/matlockma/5cbirhkpfx88/wish/495861896 A viewpoint that hasn't been represented yet is of the one doing the job. I believe that they have information that the outsiders won´t because we don´t do the job ourselves. What if they help the process and make it easier for the animals and what they're going through. We won´t know until we have their viewpoint. bryannalizpena406 https://padlet.com/matlockma/5cbirhkpfx88/wish/495862104 2020-04-06 23:41:56 UTC https://padlet.com/matlockma/5cbirhkpfx88/wish/495862104 The title is very simple and you may think it gives itself away, but it isn't as easy as it seems. It can pull you in because of how simple it is, you´re going to want to know more because it stops so quick. bryannalizpena406 https://padlet.com/matlockma/5cbirhkpfx88/wish/495865417 2020-04-06 23:47:57 UTC https://padlet.com/matlockma/5cbirhkpfx88/wish/495865417 Before reading this excerpt I never thought twice when I ate meat. I would eat and just enjoy, but now it´s kind of as if I feel bad for eating. I´m not saying I will 100% stop eating it, but I will go easier on the meat. I will eat more veggies and substitute meat with something else I can enjoy. bryannalizpena406 https://padlet.com/matlockma/5cbirhkpfx88/wish/495868149 2020-04-06 23:52:44 UTC https://padlet.com/matlockma/5cbirhkpfx88/wish/495868149 Weird and raw title matlockma https://padlet.com/matlockma/5cbirhkpfx88/wish/501135485 I think you're right, Bryannaliz! It's not that simple; yet, it is. It's either - do you eat animals or don't you. It sort of puts you in this weird decision place where you must make a choice. And then, again, you can't forget that we, too, are ... animals. ]]> 2020-04-09 18:56:03 UTC https://padlet.com/matlockma/5cbirhkpfx88/wish/501135485 Case for vegetarianism matlockma https://padlet.com/matlockma/5cbirhkpfx88/wish/501137441 I think this makes the case for a plant-based diet. And it makes it easy to see how you two could sort of have a consciousness about the meat you put into your systems. Maybe that's the point -- just THINK about it. ]]> 2020-04-09 18:57:28 UTC https://padlet.com/matlockma/5cbirhkpfx88/wish/501137441 I aslo agree that the tittle is kind of decieving and abrupt.
