In “Power Steer” by Michael Pollan and Paul Schwennesen’s, “The Ethics of Eating Meat,” animal slaughter is discussed.  Both discuss views of omnivores, people who eat both meat and vegetables. However, some people believe that all animal consumption is cruel and/or unhealthy.  Construct an essay that examines these questions, using Pollan’s and  Paul Schwennesen’s  essays as a starting point.  You could compare the health issues involved with both ways of life, talk about how the animals are raised from a financial or ethical standpoint, reasons people become vegetarians or vegans, or any other topic you can come up with that involves the contents of the essays.  Remember, the essays are to be based on the ideas presented the two articles and either quotation or paraphrase from the two articles is required (using proper citation). Please, MLA8 format for the worked cited. Around 1000 words
