Why do people kill animals to eat when they could just buy food at the store?

"And God blessed Noah & his sons, & said unto them:
Be fruitful & multiply & replenish the earth. And the fear of you & the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, & upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, & upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered."
Genesis 9 : 1-2

Many years ago, everyone had to hunt for food. They would gather plans & kill animals. Some people began to grow fruits & vegetable s7 sell them. Others raised animals and sold them. Eventually, there were grocery stores where people could buy the fruits, vegetables, milk and meat they needed to eat. But for meat to be available at a store, someone has to kill the animals. No one can get meat the stores unless someone kills the animals for food. It certainly is more convenient to buy meat at a store than to raise chickens or hunt wild pigs. But some people enjoy hunting for deer, pheasant or bird instead of buying all their meat at the store.
No matter where we get our food, we should always thank God for it. The food we have is part of what God provides for us so we can live. Be a thankful and healthy eater.
