Vegetarian's Suthies

Vegetarianism has existed for many centuries, but perhaps the most well known vegetarian was Pythagoras. Pythagoras was a philosopher whom educated much of the world on his ideas in life, one at the time being the abstinence of meat. Pythagoras, along with many of his followers, believed that the consumption of meat could affect the longevity of one’s life. Though not everyone believed in Pythagoras’ opinions, he still had a loyal group of followers. Pythagoras was so widely associated with a meat free diet that the terms vegetarian was not even in use until 1847, when the term “pythagorean” was changed to “vegetarian” (Avey). Today, there are 16 million people in America who follow a vegetarian-based or vegan diet (Watters). There is a common misconception that the choice to become a vegetarian is based only on a person’s love for animals, but there are many other benefits to being a vegetarian. Pythagoras and his followers gave many of the same arguments that people who abstain from meat today support; for example, Pythagoras had the belief that there was a majority of added health benefits from a meatless diet (Avey). Vegetarianism can decrease the risk of cancer along with other health concerns, can solve problems the world presently faces,—such as world hunger and animal cruelty— and can have positive effects on the environment—such as pollution reduction and overgrazing reduction. People need to adopt a vegetarian lifestyle because it will improve public

I am a vegetarian. I am a good eater. I am very healthy- as healthy as can be. I mean hey, I’m still young. What could go wrong?

Typically, a parasite is known as any organism, which lives off or benefits at the expenses of another organism, its host. When the non-mutual symbiotic relationship between them end up with the host being killed directly by the organism, then it is better known as a parasitoid. On the other hand, when the organism makes an intermediate host more prone to die due to be eaten by the next host, then it is named a trophically transmitted parasite. In order to survive, they all depend on transmitting themselves from one host to another one. Some of them have the ability of manipulating their host’s behavior in order to achieve a successful transmission. In other words, the way humans and animals think or behave could be being controlled by some

We live in a society that is divided into three classes that Karl Marx labeled as aristocracy, bourgeoisie, and proletariat. People are placed into one of these different factions based on their wealth, power, and social institutions. When we analyze literature, focusing on identifying these different divisions, we begin to realize how large an influence they have on an individual’s personality, actions, beliefs, hopes, and fears. At first glance, Oscar Wilde’s play, The Importance of Being Earnest, seems like trivial comedy, but if one were to adjust the mirrors and look past the surface, he would see that this literary work reflects the ideologies of the classes born from society's partition.

It's not the lonliness that gets me at Christmas, I've grown used to it over the years. I welcome it when I arrive at my cold house and it greets me at the door. What upsets me at Christmas is the portion size.

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

1. Her three general arguments for not eating meat is health, animal rights, and environmental rationale. She questions the validity of these arguments by questioning how far the reasons for not eating meat should go. For all three arguments, Fraser divided them into sections where she individually targeted their pros and cons and then question whether being a vegetarian is worth all the fuss that occurs in a vegetarian’s life. For example, Fraser states that her animal rights philosophy were had “holes” where she “excluded fish from the animal kingdom-not only because fish taste delicious grilled with

I remember my dad telling my family about his diagnosis of Type II Diabetes when I was in the third grade. In the years to come, I’ve seen his health deteriorate in ways that I didn’t expect. I guess that’s part of the reason why I adopted a vegetarian lifestyle about five years ago. To me, being a vegetarian has involved me taking charge of my health and educating myself about my choices of what I put into my body. My hope is that I can sustain this for life. Starting a club in college where I can be around vegetarians and vegans will motivate me to continue this throughout my college years. However, with forming a vegetarian/vegan club, I want the devotion to health to extend outside of the club. With this, I want my club to positively impact

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.

Due to the rise in popularity of professional begging these days I’ve decided to examine the unfortunate social interaction of asking a stranger for money, more specifically, asking for a small $2 parking fee. Asking a stranger for money, for most people, is not a social norm. It a demeaning situation and I do not recommend it to anyone. Yet some people in our society have chosen to live a life entirely dependent on the charitable offerings of others. Some even go as far as to explicitly write on their signs that they “Need a cold beer”. I do not agree or support this lifestyle, I prefer a more structured support system that holds those receiving the aid accountable. Nevertheless I’ve always wondered what makes people donate to these people? What strategies are these people using to convince others to part with their hard earned cash?

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. Zamir’s fourth part of the argument uses evidence that a large portion of vegans are inconsistent with their “Veganism”, most of them are only Vegan when it’s convenient or for social

Driven by false needs, imposed by the economy, and the mass media, the individual lacks the transcendence and awareness to critique the world around him. Thus, the individual withers into a one-dimension thinker (pg. 3). Marcuse suggests that when an individual incorporates himself into a society by subscribing to the prescribed (false) needs, he stabilizes the society. Technological society blinds the individual to his oppression by providing entertainment, opportunities, and mass-produced items that people from all socioeconomic levels can enjoy.

Does a vegetarian diet cause people to become lethargic and have low energy levels? Actually, vegetarians have the same, if not higher, physiological energy when compared with omnivores. Physiological energy not only depends on diet but also has other factors such as metabolism, exercise, and lifestyle habits. Over all, there are complex components to a vegetarian diet which can increase stabilize or increase energy.

Humans were created to be vegetarians by natural design due to evolution. A vegetarian “diet can meet current recommendations for all [suggested] nutrients”(Position of American Dietetic Association). Benefits such as a healthy diet, lowers risks of diseases and risks of specific illnesses, financially low cost, and support of animal rights. Other problems that arise from producing livestock for slaughter are the ecological impacts that result due to cattle production, pollution of ecological systems, horrors of meat production , waste of natural resources, and a lifestyle in which humans are more prone to diseases. There are many ways the environment is degraded through production of livestock as a major food source. The adoption of a vegetarian diet is more beneficial to the planet due to a smaller ecological impact on the Earth. These negative impacts on the environment and the individual can be resolved with the adoption of a vegetarian diet because this diet provides several beneficial results in life today.

In recent years more and more people are turning to a vegan diet. This diet is having some impact on food services such as restaurants because instead of a normal menu they must now cater to the ever growing population of vegans. Some of the things that are making this diet popular are the support it is receiving from health professionals like doctors and nutritionists, but just a couple decades ago doctors recommended cigarettes as a healthy choice. Let’s get the facts straight about what is a healthy diet and compare it to a vegan diet. The Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion’s Health.Gov defines a healthy diet as one that limits sugar and sodium, provides the essential vitamins required to live, has a variety in food both vegetables and meats, and diets that keep good eating patterns with while keeping changes small. ("Top 10”) Healthy diets are essential for living a long life and have effects from living longer than someone who doesn’t eat healthy to lessening a number of illnesses that someone could experience. The claims of the effects of a vegan diet range all over this scale, while some of the basics of Veganism contradicts the criteria set by the USDA for a healthy diet. Does enough of the vegan diet match up with what a healthy diet really is, and does being a vegan really mean you’re healthier?
