There are multiple reasons stated in Rachel's article on why it is wrong to eat meat. The main point in her article is that to eat meat is to support a cruel system of meat production. Rachels argues against Kant's belief that animals do not have a moral standing and are merely a means to an end, which is man. Rachels believes that
In the article “This must never happen again” by Cathy Martin, Coldstream in The Age, published on June 9th 2011, she is telling the reader that only humans are only dominant enough to declare themselves owner of all other animals, which leads them with a huge role of responsibility. Cathy Martin would rather see meat prices go up instead of seeing the animals get hurt and harmed like they did shown on Four Corners. I would have to agree with this because it is wrong in so many ways with was done to the cattle. I would also feel sympathy for the 1200 peoples’ lives and jobs depend on the live export trade but maybe the ones that are to lose their jobs could help form a new authority to oversee the strict new standards relating to the future slaughter of Australian animals. The last argument supported in this issue is the use of the restraining boxes; a restraining box is used to restrain animals and to “stun” them quickly and accurately before slaughter- and in which a ‘stun gun’ is to render the animal unconscious.
In Jonathan Safran Foer’s Eating Animals, explores the pros and cons of eating meat, and one example of this is whether or not we should serve turkey on Thanksgiving. Foer feels that we take advantage of thanksgiving, and that we use that as an excuse to kill another turkey. He feels as though we could do thanksgiving without turkey, and it wouldn’t be any different. I on the other hand argue that there are many reasons we should eat turkey on Thanksgiving. One of the reasons we should serve turkey is because a lot of turkey is made every thanksgiving and letting it go to waste would be a sin itself.
Veggies Pete Singer, a well known advocate for vegetarianism, states that “A diet heavy in animal products, catered by intensive animal production, is a disaster for the animals, the environment, and the health of those who eat it.” This might make a person believe that the vegetarian diet is the best way to go. The problem is that most people won’t go to a nutritionist to find out what exactly they need to eat, and how much, to make sure that they are getting enough complete protein from a variety of foods. For example in Laura Fraser’s article she jokingly said that in early 80’s most of the vegetarian cook books called for three cups of cheddar cheese in every recipe except for granola. Well my husband’s cardiologist has a joke about cheese and that is the commercial that calls it “the power of cheese” should be required to say it is really the power of death. So we know that
Since insurance companies are not supposed to make an obese persons insurance premium higher than a healthy individual, then that obese person’s heart attack drives up the insurance premium of the healthy person. The obese are making it everyone’s problem by not putting down that cheeseburger because they know that the government is paying for their anti-cholesterol medicine. Balko claims that the government is getting “between you and your waistline” meaning that the government is interfering by telling Americans what we can and cannot do with our health. Congress is now considering menu-labeling which means that restaurants would have to send every menu item to the laboratory for nutritional testing. Meaning that the restaurants would not have the freedom to put whatever they want on the menu.
Nowadays vegetarianism is promoted widely since people are concerning beauty and healthy. Also, some animal-right defenders are trying to save the animals by not eating them and be a vegetarian. In traditional, human beings are classified as omnivore since we eat meat and vegetables as food to gain energy and nutrition in general. In 20th century, some researches stated that vegetarian has a healthier life and longer life span. However, do vegetarians healthier and have a longer live-span than meat eater?
Each society has differing values that play heavily into the establishment of these norms. Even religions have differing ideals on law and morality. For instance, in Judaism, one of the strictest religious diets it’s wrong or immoral to eat pork but beef is ok as long as it’s prepared in accordance with dietary specifics. Whereas in the Hinduism, pork is ok but beef is immoral and the difference between the two are widely varying. Adherents of Judaism don’t eat pork due to dietary concerns while Hinduism restricts eating beef due to the “supernatural” significance of cows.
NAME: DEVARSH MODI EAC 150 Should people stop eating meat? Compare and contrast the vegetarian vs. non vegetarian choice. “Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on earth as much as the evaluation to vegetarian diet. - Albert Einstein.” Nowadays, the various problems associated with meat consumption has raised concern among researchers and lead to a rise of a controversial question that should people stop eating meat? Here, I’m talking about three major points like health problems, living life and environment problems for human’s life.
How can someone be called fat? Can fat be a good thing rather than a bad, as the media and governments tells us. With David Zinczenko’s controversial article on suing fast foods is wrong to Paul Campos’s argumentative essay criticizing the BMI scale we’ll get professional responses on this controversial topic. Sometimes “fat” can be blamed on fast food. According to “Don’t Blame the Eater”, by David Zinczenko, he argues that suing a fast food place is wrong and should be your responsibility on what he eats.
We are not like plants that make their own food, we are omnivores who hunt and scavenge for any type of non-rotten food that is cooked. Fat people however are the Ursus Maximus of the human race, or I should say Homo Sapien Ursus Maximus, because they need a lot of food to make up for the missing energy. This is one of the reason that we need to convince fat people to exercise. Another reason why we need to convince fat people to
