I am writing this letter regarding the issues of live cattle export published in the age's education section issues. The writer's contention is telling the reader about the live export trade from Indonesia and cruelty to Australian cattle being harmed in Indonesia and being exported. The writer also explains to the reader about how this is done and how these animals are being harmed. My contention of this issue is that I think that live export trade should not happen as it is putting too much harm and stress on the cattle. In my opinion I think live cattle export should stop, it is just a bad image for Indonesia.
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.
Fatty Fat Fat: Political Gluttony Junking Junk Food by Judith Warner begins to show the problem that our government has taken in an effort to reduce obesity in this country and change the eating habits of all citizens within our country. The Obama administration’s efforts to change the nutritional lifestyle of American’s are extremely not successful, but also viewed as offensive. There is no way to make junk food illegal; in order change America’s diet, they need to change the way Americans view junk food. The author makes the reader subconsciously decide that America’s obsession with junk food is, in fact, irrational and absurd. Warner’s audience is pointed out to be anyone interested in how the government would have the ability to successfully change the diets of Americans.
Nash England English 112 Vegucated Marisa Miller Wolfson raises the challenge of change in her film Vegucated; the analysis of today’s food industry sheds light on positive alternatives and condemns common practice used by all Americans. (Vegucated, 2010) Spitballing an idea and/or common belief hardly ever gets a conversation far. A conversation, or in this case, an argument, needs to have a structure of attack and a will of steel to rally the cause. In Vegecated, a filmmaker gives an introspective insight into the fresh and somewhat overwhelming world of Veganism. Veganism can be split very fairly between the lifestyle of consumption which includes every green on this plant and the just as important the lifestyle of con-violence, animal cruelty protests, and activism.
Although Schwartz attempts to provoke a strong message, he neglects the use of logical support and credibility throughout the article. Schwartz discusses the severe discrimination and taunting overweight people deal with in society, followed by the dangers of dieting. Schwartz’s solution to these dangers, quit dieting. Dieting, for Schwartz, is described as cannibalism, starving until one’s body is surviving primarily off of its own fat. Living in an obese society would promote self acceptance.
The title’s set up is very blunt and to the point, ‘why we need to eat red meat’ which makes the reader think that John Torode’s opinion is really a fact. The paragraph before the first picture is a short story from John’s life. I It was put in to point out that in the past red meat in England was of very poor quality and not widely available to people, this makes the reader feel as if they are lucky to have red meat nowadays. Then there is a large picture of a good looking woman eating red meat to show the reader that it is not unhealthy to eat red meat and you can still look good. Underneath the picture there is a bold line of writting stating that ‘A steak kebab is not only a good source of protein but contains essential vitamins and minerals, too’.
I take great pride in going against the cultural eating patterns that have negatively impacted billons of people on this earth. The fate of individual people and the fate of humanity have been intertwined more than ever because of the negative eating practices that a great majority of humans participate in. The expression “you are what you eat” could not be any closer to the truth. Length and quality of life are directly proportional to the eating patterns that humans practice. I cannot fathom disrespecting my body by torturing it with excess meat, junk food and dairy products.
In the first stanza, the reader is exposed to one that “was put in a jacket,” which knowing the title “Counting the Mad,” the reader may assume a straight-jacket. Following the same theme, the next one that is sent home, must have been presumably cured. The third subject is given “bread and meat but would eat none.” With the fifth line referring to the one that repeats no all day long. The commas in this stanza work together to set off each individual point, and can be interpreted as well, as listing different people. I find that it would be much more confusing to understand why someone would be placed in a jacket if unless the jacket is for protection from one’s self or others or from the weather.
Pollan and Singer bring up an interesting point when they claim that the decision of whether or not to eat meat boils down to either satisfying “gastrointestinal preferences” or causing animals to continually suffer. However there is a flaw to this argument. The assumption that eating meat is a “gastrointestinal preference” assumes a first-world setting with individuals whose diets can be dictated by choice rather than practicality or affordability. The fact of the matter is that in low-income communities getting to a mere grocery store to get adequate nutrients is already a challenge. Couple the difficulty getting nutrients with the demand that humans not eat meat for ethical considerations and those who are low-income are in a situation where
In his novel, Lord of the Flies, author William Golding explores these possibilities with disturbing revelations. Certainly, there are numerous examples of children behaving inappropriately when no supervision is present; however, Golding provides not only examples of these acts but also their progression from bad to worse as the characters become more and more comfortable living without guidance. In the novel, Golding gave a couple examples of disrespectful behaviors and actions. There were many ways that this behavior was shown. There was cussing, disrespect and killing.
