Informative Speech On Veganism

A. Veganism excludes all animal flesh and products, such as milk, honey, and eggs, as well as items refined or manufactured through any such products, such as sugar, some wines or animal-tested baking soda.

It was a summer night. I was comfortably laying in my bed, a computer in front of me and headphones playing music in my ears. That's when I stumbled upon a video named '101 Reasons to go vegan'. A presentation by Animal rights foundation of Florida. One hour long, and since that hour I haven't consumed animal products. And it hasn't felt like a restriction, not at all. Sure, I could no longer eat my favorite milk chocolate, but though I sometimes missed the taste I didn't crave anything that's not vegan. first of all because of the many vegan options in a grocery store, the new recipes you discover and the food in general but also because of the process behind closed doors. It wasn't worth it. I no longer wanted the

Animal cruelty is a significant issue, but for reasons unknown, the majority of the population is unaware of the extent of the cruelty directed toward farm animals. Most people do not consider the fact that the animal, now cooked on their dinner plate, was once alive. Consumers should be concerned about where their food comes from. Although trying to educate someone who does not recognize a problem with their lifestyle is a daunting task. (explain what kind of scholarly source here -I.e., the book compassionate choices….-) Compassionate Choices: Making a Difference for Animals attempts to convince meat-lovers that eating animals is cruel. In their brochure, Vegan Outreach effectively

I have adopted veganism into my lifestyle because I don’t support the ethics behind the meat, dairy, and egg industries. Whilst already vegetarian for a year, I unintentionally came across a video about veganism that introduced new and persuasive facts that I had no prior knowledge about; I knew immediately that this lifestyle was for me. Unlike vegetarianism, veganism is a lifestyle and what that means is no leather, no feathers, no products that have been tested on animals, no products including animal ingredients, etc.. Those wanting to become vegan should take it slow because then they can discover new recipes and replacements, and it doesn’t seem so overwhelming. The main thing to focus on is trying your best.

According to vegansociety.com, “ Veganism represents a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, other animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of humans, other animals and the environment.“ People that follow this way of living are called vegans. The vegan diet is more a lifestyle choice and a philosophy than just a diet. The vegan life is the best way to live because it’s healthier, helps the environment, and is kinder to animals.

"Going vegan is empowering. In addition to feeling better physically and emotionally, it helps instill confidence," Said Gene Baur founder and CEO of Farm Sanctuary. "There are many things in this world that are outside of our control, but each of us has a lot of power over what we eat. Being mindful and intentional about the way we eat can lead to improvements in other parts of our lives as well."

Like the majority of teenagers today, I was just browsing YouTube when I stumbled upon a video that has since changed my life. “Earthlings.” The documentary revealed how millions of animals are mercilessly slaughtered in factory farms. Just watching such brutality- void of any type of humanity- was immobilizing. Somehow I made it to the end and came across copious recommended videos, including “Forks Over Knives” and “Cowspiracy.” While they weren’t as graphic as the first, they were definitely informative. After watching these documentaries, I decided to go vegan. This decision wasn’t made lightly, and it wasn’t just for myself. Veganism has long been disputed over, but animal rights activists, environmentalists,

Veganism has always been that thing that was probably forced down your throat by that weird patchouli scented aunt who reads tea leaves and has a woodstock poster. The one that isn’t invited to christmas because last time she ruined it by bringing her friend called Rain, who didn’t have an invitation or clothes for that matter. Being Vegan doesn’t mean you have to put on your nearest Jimi Hendrix's vinyl or join a “rad” commune, you just have to care!

Imagine a world where killing animals for food was outlawed, and yes while for a second that seems idealistic, if you dive a little past the surface some terrible facts begin to emerge from the depths. Now imagine trying to obtain millions of vegetables, many of which are vulnerable to disease and are very hard to grow, or telling a sick patient that they cannot be cured, when the simple solution would be to add meat in their diets. The fact is our chances of solving world hunger would plummet, millions of people would be out of jobs, and hospitals would be over run by people who can’t live on a diet without meat. Only because people believe eating meat is unethical. Does this world still seem perfect? For years people have been fighting about whether or not we should eat meat, and the truth is not only is it okay to eat meat, but it is better than not eating it, for you, the environment and the world.

Goodmorning/afternoon Ms. Walker and class, today I have chosen to talk to you about veganism and the impact it can have on us, the planet and of course, the animals. Veganism is the practice of restraining from using animal products, particularly in diet, completely cutting out all meats, dairy and poultry but also material things like fur coats or couches made out of leather.

We have so many problems in our world today, but none of us want to address them because the solutions are not easy for some people. A problem our world faces today is obesity. Obesity could easily be cured by becoming a vegan. Another reason I have for the world to go vegan is the slaughter of animals. None of us would allow our dog or our dog’s puppies to be taken away and then slaughtered, so we shouldn’t kill any animals. We shouldn’t get to decide which animals get a happy life or which animals get their throats slit. The last major issue the world is facing today is global warming. Leonardo DiCaprio found out global warming is real by interviewing scientists who had found proof of global warming. One of their answers to global warming was becoming a vegan. The pollution set off from dairy and meat farms is so immense that producing them is hurting our world. To stop the obesity of the world, the slaughter of animals, and the global warming crisis, everyone should go vegan.

Veganism is a type of lifestyle where a person will avoid eating any product created from animals. This could be the meat of the animal itself, or by-products like milk and cheese. Since this is a huge change for people to make, here are some benefits of becoming a vegan.

As different crazes and fads are appearing each day, we have come to expect them to simply fade away as the hype passes. However, veganism has stood the test of time in our fad society and is still increasing in popularity. Originally only thought to be a religious lifestyle, many people from different walks of life are becoming vegans. However, this poses many questions and sparks heated debates, mainly from omnivorous people who believe that veganism is against life’s natural order. Vegans, then, argue against an omnivorous lifestyle by bringing up facts about humans’ biological makeup and how humans are, contrary to popular belief, herbivorous by nature, not omnivorous. While both sides present good arguments to some, the veganism lifestyle contains more benefits and less harmful cons than an omnivorous lifestyle.

There are many variations of it, however most people choose not to eat, wear or buy anything that has been made or is an animal product. Some things that a vegan wouldn’t eat or wear would be animal-tested toiletries and make-up, ice-cream as it contains milk and fish as it is an animal. Going vegan can really change someone’s life, depending on many things such as the person’s personal preferences, their fitness levels and their day-to-day lives.

Some would not be able to live without eating any animal products in their diets, such as, meat, fish, poultry, eggs, dairy products, and honey. For vegans, however, this is a normal way of life. Vegans are frequently misunderstood as either people who have eating disorders, or an unnatural passion for animal rights. It is time for people to realize that veganism, a challenging yet rewarding lifestyle, goes way beyond being skinny or caring for animals. In reality, veganism can be extremely advantageous to anyone who adapts it as a way of life and has many different benefits that come along with it.
