What we eat is completely related to the culture in which we grow up. Few reflect on the impact that our diet may have on the planet or on other living creatures.

Dogs are man best friend right, but so are horses...

We mostly swallow the reasons that came with the food advertising while we rarely stop and think, let alone test if the food is actually doing us any good. This happens because it's complicated to test, it involves abstaining from eating certain foods and find a way to register the test of the food we put in our mouth.

We also delegate to our culture the reasoning behind eating certain foods or say no thanks to others. When we are surrounded by people who feed on certain stuff it becomes normal and accepted that we will eat that too, like a shortcut to thinking and reasoning about it.

Their last moment is frozen in times, to stimulate your appetite.
