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.
English 101 5/20/15 Will the Government Regulate our Meals? Obesity is becoming a more prominent issue in the United States as time progresses, but why is it happening? Well, the main factors of obesity are poor eating habits, an absence of physical activity, and bad nutritional standards. Economic growth and modernization could very well be a factor in the increase of obesity because a majority of our meals are cheap, convenient, and processed for today’s Americans. However the food we eat is high in fat and sodium and lack the nutrition needed to lead a healthy life.
By continuing to eat meat the issues of factory farming can not be fixed. There is a demand in the United States for meat, which allows the large scale factory farming. Converting to vegetarianism has many benefits and can help reduce the problems that are risings out of factory farming. Not eating meat will decrease the demand for meat, which in turn will save animals from a life of abuse. Vegetarianism is one of the healthiest diets, so it will boost your over all health.
ENG-101-W10 May 1, 2015 Less Meat, Yes Please! Imagine a world free from the shackles of human ignorance, simply by not eating meat one day a week. In his article, “A Meat Lover Says Yes to Meatless Monday,” Josh Ozersky points out that eating less meat one day a week not only improves the quality of our meat, it can also recuperate the meat industries. With unremitting population growth, Ozersky claims, the meat industries are struggling to keep up, and if demand cannot be met in a healthy, and responsible way, then maybe we should take a day off from it. That’s why Meat Lovers across the world should join the food movement and eat less meat.

Never have I seen a bag of spinach or a head of broccoli that was advertised as “buy one get one free.” This is due to the fact that if all of a sudden healthy foods were as cheap as unhealthy foods, people would “vote” differently. Farmers would start having to produce more healthy foods, for which they are not subsidized, advertisements for those “fun foods” would need to change to appeal those healthy eaters, and nutritionism would prove that food in its natural form is what is needed to acquire optimal
Some disadvantages are that on a short term basis it can be more expensive, it takes a lot of discipline and work and its not convenient (especially at colleges) My perspective on this diet is that its a little bit too extreme. I really like the idea of a “simple living” lifestyle. I think there’s something very Christian about being less complicated with what we eat. But I also think that the Paleo diet is over the top. We should definately lower the amount of pre package and artificial food that we eat and we should also limit our carb intake, especially since most of our carbs come from gmo and preservative filled foods.
After that, if food is available, more food is usually consumed, which helps the progress of obesity. The consumption of more organic foods can combat obesity and malnourishment. Unlike fast food, organic foods are not toxic and have more useful nutrients. However, their price is usually high, and families with low income cannot afford them. Organic food is expensive due to a number of different factors.
Benefits of being veg*etarian*. The most common reason that Americans choose not to eat meat is to improve their health, the second most popular reason is the desire to avoid the hormones and other additives in animal products, a more specific health consideration. Vegetarianism certainly has health benefits, although there are disadvantages to going vegetarian like lack of B-12, vitamin D, Iron, Zinc and Calcium. *Conclusion*. Our culture and our obsession for the American meal to include meat and dairy products hasus killing ourselves.
If the government considers meats being significant in diets, this could cause arguments between citizens and the government. Also vegetarians could be included in this category. While a government mandatory diet is the best option to lowering the obesity rate, people are capable of making their own decisions, especially when it comes to food. If the government is allowed to put a person on a diet, it will not allow people to make decisions for themselves. The ultimate goal is to decrease the rate of obesity.
