Comparing Two Articles On Vegetarianism

Should the eight researchers’ diets have been vegetarian or meat-based? What difference would this make?

In the short story of Margaret Lundberg ‘’Eating Green’’ Margaret has grown up being a vegetarian because her mother fed up with healthy foods, that included vegies in her meal and plain yogurt for breakfast. As the time passed by, she became a mother and transported a vegetarian diet to her family as well as she was accustomed to its lifestyle. Margaret had realized that if everyone becomes a vegan it could make a huge impact and contribute to benefit on saving the planet we live on. The purpose of the argument is to encourage others to consider taking a vegetarian diet; It will likely reduced badly effects in our health. By considering/ taking in mind a vegetarian diet it could decrease the percent of people suffering from obesity, diabetes,

7) What biases did you observe in each article? Why do you think they are biases?

A great example of this can be seen when the science behind each change is expertly, but simply, explained. When the benefits of vegetarian diets and gluten-free diets are discussed, Chopra and Tanzi describe a research study that was done at University of California, San Francisco involving feeding some mice a high junk food diet while feeding other mice a vegan diet. When the diets of the mice were switched, the microbiome of their intestines changed within three days (the switch from junk food to vegan diet showed the better change). Strong evidence like this is helpful to the readers and gives them a better understanding of the information presented to them. This also displays the knowledge of Chopra and Tanzi, which can reassure the readers that they are receiving expert

I do not believe the article can be improved upon. It has statistics and studies proving the point it was trying to make. It also does not make fake or biased claims and has a very precise assessment.

Vegetarianism is a custom practiced in six out of the seven continents and has become more popular over the years. Vegetarianism can be defined as the exclusion of animal products such as meat and fish from one’s diet. Dairy products and eggs are often times excluded as well. Although there are many reasons one may decide to become a Vegetarian or follow such a code of ethics, the most common include: moral, religious or health reasons.

These articles all give readers the background and context to see what the author is referring to if the reader needs more clarification.

The argument under analysis is a Wall Street Journal article titled “Would We Be Healthier with a Vegan Diet?” The article divulges of the argument, is a vegan diet better for you. The first side explained in the article is for vegan diets, entitled, Yes: Cut Animal-Based Protein By Dr. T. Colin Campbell. Dr. Campbell is a professor of nutritional sciences at Cornell University and co-author of "The China Study. With the opposing view being presented by Dr. Nancy Rodriguez, Nancy Rodriguez is a professor of nutritional sciences at the University of Connecticut .which is entitled No, presents the other side of the argument: It’s a Balance. This analysis will discuss strengths and weaknesses in both arguments. The purpose is not to decide

This article was presented in an appropriate manner. It was easy to read and follow along to. I felt that the author did not present the information in a biased manner and the author did have multiple facts to back up the claims. New information was presented in this article that was not in any other source I

throughout the whole article and has different sources in it also like the LA times

Another similarity is both articles try and help the reader understand what positive results they're getting out of the diet. The articles also discuss how eating a vegetarian diet helps prevent diseases. For example, the blog post talks about beating heart disease, which comes from eating too much meat and how animal meat contains high saturated fats and high amounts of cholesterol. In comparison the article entitled "Why go veg?", discusses how many different Americans develop a number of diseases because of the horrible food that they eat. It states that a vegetarian is less likely to experience heart health problems and disease due to the fact that most vegetarians don’t consume meat or animal products. Both sources also discuss how the diet can lower risk of

The popular press article written by Allie Bidwell accurately summarizes the research study in an easy to read manner; whereas the research article includes scientific language and is hard to comprehend at times. The research article is more appropriate to use as an academic source for information compared to the popular press article. The research article is credited to a research team with significant credentials from Washington University and is peer reviewed by the institutional board at the university. The authors of the article had over forty references, which were footnoted within the text and readily identifiable at the end of the article; this is where the facts came from. The article described the number and characteristics of subjects and described the research method in detail, but they could have been more clear and specific. The popular press article was written by a member of U.S. News and is not peer reviewed. The author does not have any references, but she quotes the study and other sources within her article. Bidwell included the number and age of the subjects; however, she did not go into detail about other characteristics of the subjects. Bidwell does an excellent job of summarizing the major components of the research article; she does not go into complete detail in regards to the measures and variables. It seems Bidwell was able to acquire her facts from the research

There are two main lifestyles that we as human beings practice that impact our eating habits. One being a Vegetarian, a person who chooses not to eat meat. The other being a Meat Eater (also known as an Omnivore), a person who chooses to eat both meat and vegetables. A controversial debate continues to go on, evaluating the pros and cons of each group, along with the reasons behind their choice. In the end it all depends on the individual’s outlook on life that makes the decision.

The Meat Vs. Veggie web series is not intended solely for individual who eat a vegetarian diet, or for non-vegetarians. The series is for anyone who is interested in learning about a vegetarian diet, and how to prepare and incorporate vegetarian cuisine into their diet. The series also takes on a more casual approach that appeals to anyone wanting to learn about vegetarian cooking in a more relaxed environment. If the web series had been intended for just a vegetarian audience, then sending a pitch email to only bloggers with a vegetarian audience would have made sense. However, there are many non-vegetarians who are curious about vegetarian cuisine. For the web series, the best option is to send out a press release instead of a

Is the vegetarian diet beneficial to the body? The argument of whether humans are herbivores or carnivores has been around for as long as there were vegetarians. A vegetarian is defined as not eating animal flesh including poultry and fish. A vegetarian diet consists of whole grains, meatless proteins, fruits and vegetables and healthy fats. People are on the diet because they are against eating meat, but there are others who do the diet because it is good for their health. The vegetarian diet is beneficial to the body because it reduces the risk of heart disease, it reduces the risk of cancer and reduces the risk of diabetes.
