With American's making a hobby out of hunting, and an ever growing population, the consumption of meat seems only natural in North America. Our desire for instant gratification has led to the exploitation of animals, and they are being raised in worse conditions than ever to meet the needs of our population. We have access to more meat so we take it and abuse it. Cows, chickens and pigs are seen as food before animals in our culture which also contributes to the amount we are able to consume. North Americans seem to value instant gratification and being able to eat whatever they want without thinking about what they're actually putting into their body.
