Industrial Livestock Farming and Its Problems

"Alabama Travel-262"   by  beigeinside      Cows, pigs, chicken, and many other animals have been a large part of human meat intake for longer than I’ve lived. Over time, technology has helped keep more animals fed and controlled in smaller spaces, thus producing more meat for the world. However, this has resulted in many problems. The methane released into the atmosphere is dangerously high, all because of the farts leaving the animals themselves and multiple sources. Animals are treated inhumanely, live cruel lives, and are always in constant fear and stress. The quality of the meat we intake from these industrial farms are usually high in fat. Letting the animals graze in open fields throughout their lifetime before death will bring many benefits and let the animals live a humane life before their inevitable death.

The food has been in our culture for as long as since the 13th century. The nation itself might have changed in its military strength, diversity, territory size, alliances, treaties, laws, name, and hell, its non-existence on the maps of the world from time to time, such as during WW1, but the food hasn’t changed one bit. The pierogi itself is a diverse food, which can vary when it comes to the fillings that the central-eastern european dumpling can provide, but we’ll come back to that soon. Of course, the pierogi can’t be filled and eaten if it isn’t made in the first place. For the dumpling
