Hunter-Gatherer: A food chain of regret ~ Dr. Flores

                  The claim Pollan is making is that Hunter-gatherers food chain may be more direct and straight forward wasting less resources but it isn't a great method because of the physological part and understanding that killing animals like that isn't something that should be taken lightly. It states "Hunters ought to be aware of the seriousness of what they are doing and never treat it lightly". This is describing the claim Pollan i s trying to make because it talks about the seriousness of hunting animals and also shows that eve know its way more natural it causing guilt and killing animals like that is more serious and should be understood and never be taken lightly. In addition, it states "However, I also knew what made me feel bad about hunting. No matter how I look at it, I felt regret about killing that pig". This is explaining and showing that author is feeling regret about killing the pig and is saying that hunting live animals is more harsh than the other food chains and the topic of killing animals shouldn't be taken lightly. The claim Pollan is making is that hunter gatherer food chain is bad and it shouldn't be taken lightly or done.

  2. Do you think Pollan is saying we should all be vegetarians? Or that if we eat meat we should have this interaction with killing our actual food?

    1. Pollan is saying that the food chain may be aggresive and it shouldn't happen but he isn't saying that we should be vegetarians but he saying that we have to understand the true meaning of what we are eating
