When Eating Meat is not Fashionable

 Before the industrial age meat was never eaten regularly, It was only eating on specific occasions, such as during feasts and slaughter of animals ceremonies outside this periods, eating of meat was never regular  as a result it didn't cause so much diseases. The regular diet majorly consisted of vegetables and fruits because meat was not even at the reach of the poor since it is hardly found in every market and the affordability was to the rich. This explains why before now there were diseases commonly referred to as 'the rich man's sickness' such as cardiovascular disease. At the present time meat is available at every local market throughout every time of the year, as such it is possible to be eaten daily. In earlier times the major repercussion on health resulting in eating meat was the transmission of of infections. The unavoidable contamination of bacteria was something that was part and parcel of the sales and eating of meat. 

Today meat can be found in every market and it's affordable to the average person around the world. There is a more serious problem associated to the way the meat we eat is reared, the intensive cattle raising on  farms and industrialized exploitation through the use of artificial foods, hormones for rapid fattening, antibiotic use, tranquilizers against stress and a very long list of artificial chemical substances supposedly to help reduce the diseases which animals suffer. 

These and other unnatural Conditions surrounding the breeding of cattle only increases the problems of most meats available in today's market even though meat suppliers will claim that their meat is free of any form of pathogenic microorganisms. 

These artificial methods of cattle breeding coupled with its all year round availability only mean that consumption of meat carries with it health implications which should be taken seriously.
