He quoted “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others” from the famous allegorical novella – “Animal Farm” by George Orwell (Foer), which gives the reader a glance of inequality on how different animals are treated differently. Foer utilizing the quote to encourage the audience to think about what is it that makes it acceptable for the public to consume beef, pork, even horse meat but it is a taboo to eat dog.

Old Major talked about how the humans made the animals work and then took everything that they worked for and barely fed them. "Man is the only creature that consumes without producing.

There were no food-related inspections or prerequisites that protected consumers from buying unhealthy or tainted meat. This lack of protection was alarming, as more than two-hundred diseases can be spread through food.

Good nutrition is a significant part of a healthy lifestyle and is a principle being taught every day around the world.
