Research Paper On Veganism

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,

With the population of the world continuing to rise, the Earth’s ability and resources to sustain its people is nearing its capacity, if it not has been reached yet. With the increase in wealth and modernity, people are having more choices what to eat without realizing how the food they are eating are produced and manufactured. All they see are choice pieces in perfectly sealed Styrofoam trays and plastic wrap. To keep up with the demand, farmers are now adopting mass production methods that focus on numbers and less on how these modern farming methods cause or are causing wide-scale destruction to the planet.

Donald Watson, on 1944 had a meeting with non-dairy vegetarian, Elsie Shrigley, to talk about the lifestyle and diet of non-dairy vegetarian diets. These pioneers were the first people to discover a new movement – although resistant. They felt that they needed a new name, something more brief than “non-dairy vegetarians”. “vitan”, “dairyban”, and “benevore” were some of the rejected words. They settled on “vegan”, because it had the first 3 and the last 2 letters of “vegetarian”. In Donald Watson’s words, it marked “the beginning and end of vegetarian”.

I love reading about other people’s experiences with being vegan the struggles and the victories. Through being vegan I am more aware of the pain animals must go through to fulfill the human desire for animal product. We live in a world where we don’t have to fight and kill for food anymore. Also going vegan has decreased my symptoms from my Multiple Sclerosis, cleared my skin acne, helps me maintain a healthy weight and has even minimized my struggle with

When it comes to what is the healthiest raw vegan foods or just food in general, the simpler the better. This is because digestion takes up less energy and nutrients are absorbed better. You will have more energy eating this way plus it is less time-consuming. If you do the raw vegan diet right, over time as you adjust and learn, you will actually save time. I'll also include some easy recipes such as banana ice cream, rawtella, and super ants on a log. However for the maximum benefits from your raw vegan meals I believe there a few simple food groups that will give you the best results.

After having my heart shattered into pieces and taken out of my body. I finally decided it was time for me to get up. I couldn’t let this break up get the best of me. So in order to get my mind off the heartache, I decided that I needed to take this break up as a new beginning in which I would focus on myself and my goals. One of my goals was always to be able to get toned and build some muscle mass. In order to achieve this, I needed to learn how to meal prep since I have such a busy schedule from school and work. I went into Pinterest and saw a meal prep that I like, but it was vegetarian. I thought this was good because it was a challenge and it would help me keep my mind off the breakup. Worried just like many other people have about not eating meat, I started to do my research to make sure that I was eating properly and making sure I had enough protein. While browsing for more vegetarian recipes I came into a couple of videos about veganism. I found it interesting and I started to look up more videos and everything clicked on me. I cannot call myself an animal lover and eat meat or support any abuse towards animals. That’s when I decided to go vegan. My decision to go vegan, what people think about veganism and what being a vegan stands for me.

Our goal for this project was to show the arguments that both sides use to support their reasoning behind why eating meat or no meat is better or why each person on both sides prefer one or the other. For each side we all chose an argument one might use to explain why their choice in diet is better and more preferable than the other. Each member of each group chose a side to argue for and then discussed different aspects of the argument; those being the economic, the health, the ethic and the environmental side. The vegetarian side would argue on what vegetarians contribute to these for aspects of the debate and also defend why their position is better compared

The vegetarian diet Andera plans to adopt will prevent her from eating meat and animal products. Many people adopt a vegetarian diet to prevent disease such, diabetes, cancer, heart disease, obesity, and hypertension. The proper intake of food and vegetables a day will reduce the risk of disease. In essence, Andrea friends are concern that her diet will no contain the proper nutrition and amino acids it needs. Amino acids carry out many important bodily functions, they are a large proportion of our cells, muscles, and tissue (Amino acid-studies), There are 8 different types of amino acid found in our bodies. Essential amino acids are not naturally produced in the body, in order for Andréa get the proper nutrition she must include it in her

In my early time of being a vegan, my initial instinct was to be defensive; to defend myself and my beliefs. I would scornfully respond and attempt to justify my actions to others. This often led to frustration and disappointment when these conversations ended in a negative manner. I didn’t wish to engage in arguments with people in regard to being vegan because that seemed frivolous. I just sought acceptance and understanding of my choices. Fortunately, I have since learned how to approach situations of this matter in a different and more positive manner. Rather than rebuttal their comments in a pessimistic way, I have learned to be understanding. I believe it is imperative for me to be understanding and reserve judgment; after all, there was a time when I did not know what I know today. There was a time when I too, indirectly contributed to the abuse of animals. I have also learned that I have absolutely no control over others’ thoughts and actions. I do not get to decide how others perceive me, I only get to determine how I will react to that perception. These struggles have taught me how to react in a kind and loving way. I have found that I can express myself and my thoughts without demeaning others and their

God created the heavens and the earth, the animals and the humankind. And God saw that it was good. God placed Adam and Eve in a paradise named Eden. Eden was full of plants, seeds, trees, and animals. However, a major conflict has arisen among people on whether the animals were created for companionship or food for humans as well as plants? The Bible seems to be extremely contradictory about this specific topic.

Veganism is a food lifestyle based on diet of vegetables, grains, seeds, nuts and fruits. People are being vegetarian because they think it is healthier to only eat vegetables without eating meet or chicken, and they think that they will get a perfect body shape, free of diseases. As in vegetarian, where they feed on foods that do not fit into animal flesh, whether from wild or marine animals. They also don’t eat food that comes directly from the animal, such as: egg that’s comes from the hen, milk that comes from cows, goats and honey that comes from bees. In India, Ethiopia and Jamaica there are a lot of vegetarian people, because they don’t have enough food to feed themselves, so they decided to eat vegetable. This paper argues that veganism is a harmful lifestyle for three major reasons.

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.

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.

This year, I decided to talk with my grandmother about the issue. She always hosts the event and I knew that my veganism caused her a great deal of angst. I wanted a chance to discuss this important part of my identity rationally with her, in a context far away from the dinner table where her own identity as a cook and provider for the family might be threatened.
