Meat is the flesh of animals such as pigs, cattle, goats, and lambs that have been raised and prepared for people to eat. The flesh that people think of as meat is mostly the skeletal muscle tissue of these animals. Skeletal muscles make up about 50% o an animal's body weight. When an animal is living, its skeletal muscles serve to move and support its skeleton.
