Essays on Vegetarian

I liked one topic sentence towards the end of the essay, where you aptly set the focus of the paragraph. Consider this: “Another health risk of eating pork meat is due to its association with many epidemic diseases.” Here, you clearly tell the readers what you would discuss in the paragraph, that is, diseases caused due to eating pork. This supports your view/position against eating pork.

Now, let us consider the last sentence of the introduction as the thesis: “To determine that pork is healthy to eat one must examine the different between pork meat and other ...

Many of my decisions that I made when I was a teenager were greatly influenced by my peers. I faced various challenges of peer pressure when I was younger, especially when the situation occurred when people got to know that I do not eat eggs, onions, or meat and also that I do not like to eat out.

Sometimes in our lives, we face situations that completely change our outlook for something. I was born and brought up in a strictly non-vegetarian family and the issue of veganism never popped in my mind.

However, Hill suggested that on weekends, the audience can shift again to being meat ...

In his book Animal Rights and Human Obligations Peter Singer makes some interesting arguments concerning the issue of animal rights.

His main argument is that just as we, as a society, have learned that all people are equal, regardless of skin color or gender, we need to learn that all animals are equal, regardless of species. Because this assertion may, at first encounter, seem absurd, he quickly clarifies what he means by it. Singer does not suggest that all other animals have exactly the same rights as people have. He uses the example of men and women: “Many feminists hold that women have the right to an abortion on request. It does not follow that since these same ...

People choose to become vegetarian for a number of reasons, including; health benefits, humane treatment of animal issues, and even religious beliefs. Sometimes people choose to become vegetarian after seeing an animal being butchered (either in person or in a video) and watching the animal die makes them unwilling to be even remotely responsible for any animals’ deaths (Kim, 2010). Those who are against livestock (meat) production claim that it causes a number of extremely serious problems. According to supporters of the vegetarian diet, “the mass consumption of animals is a primary reason why humans are hungry, fat, or sick and is a ...

The topic whether meat or vegetarian diet is the better choice is a bone of contention for centuries.

This will review a few reliable sources to make a clear view of the topic and its scope for further research. Until recently, the advantages of vegetarianism were not clinically proven, ...

For most people, the only food they know is meat. They grew up wearing leather and depending on location, cloths made of fur or wool. For entertainment, children are brought to zoos and circuses while eating hotdogs, burgers, or barbeque. In addition, children often raise their desires of having their own pets at home, prompt parents to buy pets from pet shops and which are later on, kept in cages. While these are indeed pleasant activities for the family, seldom are the animals considered or thought of after each bite of the delicious meal. How many had to die ...

In different societies in the world, the argument whether to be or not be vegetarian has caused a lot of controversies.

The main argument presented by vegetarian individuals is that the average human being should be able to survive on a vegetarian diet that the nutritional needs can be met without resorting eating meat. Vegetarians usually base their argument on the moral and ethical implications of eating animal meat and that animals are caused suffering in the quest ...

Human beings should treat animals as living things with their goals and interest. While consciousness between species is ever equal between two different species, human beings should recognize the animals have dignity, and our value system should take that into consideration for pets and livestock. Outside of an ethical question, meat diets are more taxing on the environment those vegetarian diets. Another question in human treatment of animals is how animals should be treated in experimental situations and what species of animals should be used. For much of human consideration, ethics was not a discipline that extended human compassion ...

As a busy undergraduate, I am interested in healthy food to stay fit. Since I do not consume so much meat daily, I am more interested in nutrients for vegetarians.

The Life of Pi is a fiction novel by Yann Martel that narrates the adventure experienced by the main character, Pi Patel, who survived in a shipwreck and found himself stranded in a lifeboat with a tiger named Richard Parker. I found this story unbelievable when I read of how Pi survived for a period that seemed like eternity with a wild tiger in a small lifeboat. What struck me most however is the main character`s ability to adapt to the harsh environmental conditions that were in existence at sea. For instance, Pi, who was a strict vegetarian had to adapt to a different kind of lifestyle ...

The statement you are what you eat has been proven a solid fact repeatedly. The way we eat determines how one's general physique looks like and how one's general, physical performance will be.

In general, a great deal of one's daily life is highly dependent on their dietary habit and composition. It is with this knowledge and the impeccable desire to remain physically fit and healthy that I chose to adopt a vegetarian diet. This diet consists of plant materials that occur ...

People who choose not to eat meat adopt a vegetarian diet for a variety of reasons. Some people do it for ethical reasons, believing that is unmoral to eat animals.

The health benefits vary, and not all experts agree upon the interpretations of studies. One advantage though to a vegetarian diet, is that it is better for the skin than eating a traditional diet of meat and processed junk food.

In many campuses around the country, the issue of feeding students remains a highly contested topic due to the many dimensions from which it can be approached.

Human beings, by nature, are omnivorous. Therefore, they feed on entirely everything edible, from vegetable products to meat substances, like animals. For a long time, however, the dice has always dictated what is necessary for human beings to eat if they are to live a healthy and strong life. This creates the concept of a balanced diet. Over the previous years, scholars have emerged with certain restrictions to alleviate certain illness and maintain a healthy diet for human beings. One controversial food element is meat. While others think that meat is not essential in the diet (Burnie, Encarta), many others still believe that it ...

Vegetarian diets can be hazardous to health because many beliefs about the diet’s benefits are not supported by scientific evidence (Byrnes 72). According to the American Dietetic Association, vegetarian and vegan diets can be healthy at all stages of the life cycle when planned correctly (Craig and Mangels 1266). In the literature review by Craig and Mangels, the authors attempted to prove that the vegetarian diet includes all of the required nutrients, such as vitamin D or vitamin B-12 (1269). However, most empirical studies failed to correlate vegetarianism with improved health (Key 524S), and plant-based diets were associated ...

When I first started reading the book "Some we love, some we hate, some we eat", I found this book very interesting. The book starts with an introduction about the definition of "meat". Nowadays, people commonly think that fish is also a kind of meat. However, the introduction includes a story from a PhD of anthropology – Judith – who considered herself a vegetarian, while she was used to eat fish. In my opinion, fish is a kind of meat, since fish are animals that are able to show different repetitive or learnt behaviors and interact with other living beings. This conclusion was drawn from my ...
