What Is Non Veganism

When I was growing up I was taught how to hunt, fish and trap animals for food as well as being fed an omnivorous diet, but today I have found that I no longer need animals in my diet. The Vegetarian Times recently found that out of the 311 million people in the US, 7.3 million eat a vegetarian based diet and 22.8 million eat a vegetarian inclined diet. Over the past century people have begun looking into the health implications of plant based diets as a way of improving their health and increase their longevity. This research paper is intended

Meat, fish and alternatives: these foods include eggs and pulses, provide protein and vitamins and minerals, especially iron.

Diets with red and processed meats can see an increase in risk of type 2 diabetes.

Thesis statement: There should be meat free alternatives and more awareness of the benefits of choosing a vegetarian lifestyle as eating less meat is better for an individual’s health and the environmental.

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 same time using this can help reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes, strokes and a heart attack. We can see how

The current concerns about saturated fats originated from a believe that all fat is bad as fat contains more calories than other food types, fat is readily metabolized and therefore requires no energy before its being stored and a believe that fat clogs the arteries. This in turn had resulted from wrong perceptions that saturated meat from red meat was the main cause for Ischaemic Heart Disease (IHD), a number one killer heart disease. The oil producers responded to this by introducing hydrogenated vegetable oils which people wrongly believed that they were healthy fats. As more people consumed these vegetable oils, the rate of IHD continued to increase. Further research by Dr. Mary Enig has confirmed that the diseases related to saturated fat are more as a result of increased consumption of vegetable oils and not saturated oils from red meat (Natural health information center, 2005).

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.

Meat has been in our diet since the start of mankind. We eat meat everyday mindlessly. It is hard to avoid meat since it is everywhere we go. Meat is the majority of today’s food. There are very few vegetarian or vegan options in the food industry. Although, it has been growing more and more popular since it has become a lifestyle. The reason is to be the horrifying truth of today’s meat industry. For those who cannot bear the truth, pick up the vegetarian or vegan lifestyle.

More on, vegetarians make up the other twenty percent of the world’s population that does not eat meat. Keep in mind, that the humans who are vegetarian once ate meat before. As stated in “Natural News”, it gives the

“Two in three vegetarians are vitamin B12 deficient, compared to one in 20 meat eaters, according to a peer-reviewed July 2003 study in theAmerican Journal of Clinical Nutrition.”(Herman) Should people become vegetarians?(ProCon) Over the past century studies have been conducted researching and asking this same question. Many advocates of vegetarianism say eating meat is harmful for the health and also affects the environment in a negative way. While on the other hand those opposed to vegetarianism claim the consumption of meat is humane and argue that producing vegetables has a similar a proportion of negative effects on the environment. My overall opinion on this topic is that the consumption of meat is primal instinct that is inevitable and has become embedded into our DNA.
