Can you tell me which sentence is correct?

It's not fair to them being eaten.
or:

And also: It's a way to people get more healthy.

It's a way of people getting healthier.

Meat is uncountable, so I presume that you mean 'animals'.

It's not fair for/to them to be eaten.
It's a way for people to get healthier.
