The high fat of the meat is important as the authors argue that the selling of mutton flaps to the peoples of the Pacific Islands “involves political, ethical, and health issues of important to us all (Errington and Gewertz, 1). Whenever the “other” (non White) is involved in the less than admirable aspects of food production or trade, it is usually in the role of underprivileged farm workers or illegal immigrants (Errington and Gewertz, 2). This is one of the areas where mutton flap production and consumption differs from that of other higher quality cuts of meat. Mutton flaps are produced on regulated farms by (White) Australians and New Zealanders, where the working conditions are sensible (Errington and Gewertz, 4). After the mutton flaps are processed, however, they are sent away to be consumed by the (Brown) people of the Pacific Islands (Errington and Gewertz).
He tells us the nutritional valves of a three ounce serving of lean beef and that it is an excellent source of Protein, Zinc, Vitamin B-12, Selenium and Phosphorous. I found the information on this from, TV commercials, Internet and Radio. The “Testimonial, ” capitalizes on the admiration people have for a celebrity to make the product shine more brightly-even though the celebrity is not an expert on the product being sold.” “Print and television ads offer a nonstop parade of testimonials.” “We like the person so much that we like the product too.” “Beef, It’s What’s for
Oscar Mayer Bacon Ad Analysis Over the last decade, the United States as a nation has become obsessed with health. With obesity rates on the rise, healthful eating is a popular trend. As many people are aware, bacon is not “heart healthy” or “low calorie” but quite the opposite. Oscar Mayer fits into a group of food manufacturers who market products that are by no means good for one’s health. Because the Food and Drug Administration regulates the claims made about foodstuffs, these companies are forced to be creative and come up with witty advertising techniques.
He goes to great lengths to research this topic to find a reason to eat meat. He does a great job supporting his opinion that we should be able to eat animals, by using narrative, compare and contrast, and exposition. Not only did his thesis recognize the problem of animal cruelty but, it also proposed a solution which strengthened his article. In the very beginning of “An Animal’s Place”, Pollan introduces the reader to a narrative, which will encompass most of his work. “The first time I opened Peter Singer’s ‘Animal Liberation,’ I was dining alone at the Palm, trying to enjoy a rib-eye steak cooked medium-rare.
Imperative verbs such as “Improve your health” and “Protect our planet” are used because it feels like an order or that it is something that you have to do. Persuasive language is used a lot in this article, to try and get as many people as possible to become a vegetarian, such as “You’ll stay slimmer”. This leaflet also uses anaphora, by starting their paragraphs/sentences with “You’ll” each time/. This gives a rhythm to their writing so the readers can remember the phrases
Carter argues to support or enhance the key issues that eating meat is right based on superiority, self-consciousness, reasoning, moral capability, rights, duties, and sentience. Carter shows that the statement that animals have an interest in their own lives and that we should not treat them like things is a cornerstone in many vegetarian theories. But then he questions this argument in that even the smallest insect has an interest in its own life, but you do not see people actively opposing the killing of all living creatures. He also questions the statement that animals can even make this assertion and are not just living out of basic instinct. And, although a creature may try to stay alive, is it doing so out of the fact it doesn't want to die, or the basic instinct that it has to stay alive.
Why might meats be valued more than plants as food in many societies? Cultural Anthropology Week 2 Meats can play a very critical role in many cultures, not just for substance but also in some cases because of the environment they get more nutrition form meat than plants. Livestock is also seen in many religious texts, either as a symbol, sacrifice, or parable. Every Region has its own food that it finds desirable. Different cultures will select food their society is comfortable with or has a plentiful about of.
I don’t think that I would want to go back to eating meat. If anything, I expect to learn new ways to overcome the various obstacles that may get in my way and become a stronger person for it. I see vegetarianism as a character builder as well as a sacrifice, but could also be a burden or viewed as a quirk. “Cardiovascular disease kills 1 million Americans anually and is the leading cause of death in the United States…” say Joel Fuhrman, MD author of Eat to Live: The Revolutionary Formula for Fast and Sustained Weight Loss. (Vegetarian Times / Why Go Veg) There are many benefits to becoming a vegetarian.
There are many “ranchers in the Dakota Beef program [that] are pioneers in the organic food movement and have been advocates of the need to treat cattle humanely, to reduce stress and to improve the quality of the beef they produce” (The Nibble). This illustrates how the Dakota Beef Company employees treat their cows nicely and when they kill them, they kill the cows as humanely as possible. According to the workers, this improves the quality of the beef because it reduces the stress the cows have in living in horrible conditions. The company advertises that they never use hormones, antibiotics, or any harmful chemicals “and [they] believe in the importance of sustainable farming, respecting the land and animals, to provide healthy food for [people’s families]” (Dakota Beef Company). Dakota Beef Company’s cows are all organic because they did not add any hormones, antibiotics, or any harmful chemicals to them.
A debate for the consumption of meat affecting morality has been a hot topic for a long period of time and still lot of arguments are going on regarding this topic. The word morality in Collins Dictionary (2015) defines as the system of principles and values concerning people’s behavior, which is generally accepted by a society or by a particular group of people. So the topic is whether morality has any connection with vegetarianism. To start with, the nature of all human beings is to adapt omnivorous diet. Moreover, a major part of human body demands nutrition that can only be obtained from non-vegetarian diet.
