8. Fast food is inhumane to animals.
8、快餐对动物来说是残忍的
Okay, this one may not be a reason why fast is killing you, but it’s still a compelling reason to stop eating fast food. 9 billion animals were slaughtered in the US alone in 2012 and much of that meat is for your fast food burgers and chicken sandwiches. Large factory farms resemble more of a “business” than a “farm.” Animals suffer in crowded spaces where they rarely have access to the outdoors or sunlight. They are pumped full of antibiotics to combat disease, which runs rampant in these conditions. Livestock is one of the biggest sources of pollution and environmental negligence, according to the UN.
当然,这可能不是为什么快餐在夺去你生命的理由,但是这仍然是阻止你吃快餐的一个强有力的理由。只是在2012年在美国就有90亿动物被屠杀,他们大部分的肉成了你的快餐汉堡和鸡肉三明治。大型工厂化农场更像是一种商业而不是一个农场。动物挤在一个拥挤的空间,它们几乎没有机会到户外或者沐浴阳光。在这些环境中疾病到处蔓延,为了抵抗疾病,它们被注满了抗生素。据联合国称,家畜是污染和环境疏忽的最大来源之一。
