Eating Animal Chapter Summary,

Chapter summary of "Words Meaning"

               In Chapter two, "Words Meaning," of  his expository of Eating Animals, Jonathan Foer 
addresses the preservation and restoration of animal population and the actual process of how animals are raised to become food. Foer argues that by eating animals people are forgetting about the fact that animals are part of the community and  food production used too much of propaganda to mislead consumers.
The author lists many analytical professions like Anthropodenial to raise  the question, what is an Animal, and what it takes for animals to be define as animal. He points out that once humans were considered animals. Foer wants to make the readers be in the position of the animals, be in a tight place where an animal can't move and die slowly. Chickens are the main animals that Foer made the most facts. He stated that all this years, there are only two types of chickens in the world of factory farming. Broiler and layers. Broilers are the chickens used only for meat, but layers are chickens used only for laying eggs. In Foer's argument, it is better to be the layers than the broilers because once in the chickens live experience a little space for them to lay eggs. Also, Foer introduce the "bycatch" of sea creatures. 
"Bycatch"
He believes that people, catch different types of fish by accident but for purposes. Foer, also point out that if the sea creatures are caught by "accident" then why are they in a sushi restaurant, ready to be eaten?. In conclusion, Foer doesn't want factory farming or eating animals to end, but to make factory owners and the government to realized that every human beings deserved a good death, not a painful in-human ways.
