Veganism

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.

Vegetarians are people who do not eat meat, and for some, do not consume any animal products at all. Vegetarian has been along for a long time and with time has grown the controversy over the topic. The reasons that vegetarianism has grown into a controversial topic are mostly the human beliefs and health reasons associated with it.

It was a yearning for upwards mobility that got fetched inside Brian’s brain, and it was a yearning for life itself that had managed to gobble the whole entire of Suthies’ inner head. Two distinct motors and pedals for the various defined terms of “success”. What constitutes the differences between those who possess a meager and humbling sense of the self and those who are tangled up in the pursue for materialistic wealth and upper mobility? It appears that these two people defined the good life in two severely distinct ways, and for a hypothetical scenario let’s say that they both began at the same marker on the race line trail. At the finishing line, there stands a reward for both, and it is the door towards the next stage. Now, we ought

At the beginning of 2017 I made a new year’s resolution that changed my life and how I view the world. I decided that I would only eat a plant based diet. I heard about veganism through Facebook and PETA, all the cruel videos and research I was seeing made me look further into the issue. My curiosity stems from my love and passion for animals, which I have had since I was a little girl. I began my vegan journey for the ethics, but after watching documentaries like Forks over Knives and Cowspiracy I wanted to help with the economical aspect to, and the health benefits are definitely a plus. Since I went cold turkey (how ironic, huh?) and decided to go vegan I’ve gained appreciation for animals that are viewed as food and I have educated myself on the terrible things about the food industry.

For most of my life I was blissfully unaware of the brutality that I was supporting on a day-to-day basis, I was ignorant-simply abiding to the lifestyle that I had always subscribed to and that most deem normal. However, once I was enlightened of the detrimental impact that I was making, I never looked back.

For this assignment, I volunteered at the Earthstock celebration on April 25th. Earthstock is a week long, campus-wide event that is used to educate students, alumni, and the general public about sustainable practices that help the environment. During the final Earthstock celebration, exhibitors from many different organizations, such as EmPower Solar and Vegan Outreach, set up tables displaying information regarding healthy lifestyle practices, alternative diets, and sustainable forms of energy. For this event, I was unfortunately assigned the task of helping other student volunteers and exhibitors check in and set up their tables. However, after volunteering, I was able to observe and learn about many of the organizations that had attended the event.

Hannah uses the same mediums as her older sister to get her messages about veganism out to the world and her faithful audience. However, Hannah uses the rhetorical device of humor to ease her message to the audience viewing her content, whether that is through vlogs or pictures on Instagram, humor, and lightheartedness—unlike her sister—are ever-present in her works. Hannah, unlike her older sister Ellen, has a podcast titled “Earth To Us” where she explores the topic of veganism, the lifestyle that comes with the ideology, and other topics that people who are seeking to live out a more “conscious” lifestyle may be interested in learning more about. Hannah keeps her podcast very down-to-earth and as ‘humanly” as possible making herself known to her audience that she is not an infallible person and is just like us—just vegan! This brand within her works brings her audience even closer to her and keeps them wanting to know more on how they can live a very relaxed vegan and conscious lifestyle and anyone, even Hannah, can live out almost perfectly. Hannah uses her podcast to portray veganism as a higher way of living out one’s life and consciousness that can be brought down to achievable standards, erasing the stigmas that are attached to veganism one podcast at a

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.

This essay analyzes the ethical argument for veganism through the lens of philosophy using Utilitarianism defined by John Stuart Mill, and Deontological ethics according to Immanuel Kant. Through the use of these theories, I will justify the moral worth and legitimacy of the animal welfare debate that is often used to promote a cruelty-free and vegan lifestyle by analyzing questions of animal sentience, the worth of an animal’s happiness, and the right humanity supposedly has to the lives of other living creatures. Utilitarianism and Deontological ethics will provide two philosophical insights into the reasoning of a life abstaining from harming animals.

Switching from an omnivorous diet to a plant-based diet has the positive effect of low intake of fat and various high doses of various nutrients. Vegan diets tend to have lower saturated fat, calories and cholesterol, but high magnesium, vitamin C and E, folic acid, iron, dietary fiber and phytochemicals (Craig, 2009). This combination of reduced fat and increased amounts of vitamins promotes health because it lowers the overall BMI which is favorable for the body and its health (Craig, 2009). Lower BMI is also associated with lower blood pressure (Key, Appleby & Magdalena, 2006), which is benevolent for patients with high blood pressure to ease the symptoms, and if dosed properly, it could even replace medication which must be taken every

In Veganism written by Tzachi Zamir digests the complexity of Veganism and Vegetarianism. He expresses the different perspectives through five arguments that argue for either Veganism or Vegetarianism. The first part of his argument simply paints the picture for the reader to understand the relationship between animals and humans and the dynamic of the relationship. The second and third arguments are similar because they dissects the ideal of humans choosing the fate of an animal. Zamir research is able to argue the perspective of Vegans and Vegetarians.
