Direction: Study the information carefully and answer the questions given below.

The quest for low priced meat in an ample amount has given rise to factory farms where livestock is being kept in inhumane conditions. What has followed as a result of this is pandemics like avian flu. Globally, livestock is being raised under cramped conditions in an artificially lit environment. They are injected with growth hormones and antibiotics on a regular basis and this practice continues till the time they are slaughtered. Meat production is water-intensive exercise. Approximately 15000 litres of water is needed for every kilogram of meat compared to 3400 litres for rice, 3300 litres for eggs and 255 litres for a kilogram of potatoes.

Which of the following is the most rational message conveyed by the passage?

Mass production of meat through industrial farming is cheap and is suitable for providing protein nutrition to poor countries.

Meat-producing industry violates the laws against cruelty to animals.

Mass production of meat through industrial farming is undesirable and should be stopped immediately.

Environmental cost of meat production is unsustainable when it is produced through industrial farming.

Mass production of meat can lead to water and air pollution

Explanation:

It is specifically mentioned in the passage that to produce meat, we need 15000 litres of water which is very high as compared to the quantity of water required to produce rice, eggs and potatoes. This results in a lot of wastage of water. Also, animals are raised in a cruel and artificial environment which affects their lives. Hence, third option i.e. ‘Mass production of meat through industrial farming is undesirable and should be stopped immediately’ is the correct answer.
