Final Copy I have recently thought about diseases in meat. I also watched a movie called Food Inc. and it talked about the food industry. It persuaded me to change the food industry because corn is fed to cows to make them fat in a fast and cheap way, each burger contains about a hundred pieces from different cows, and getting sued for criticizing specific meat companies. The food industry needs to be changed one step at a time. First of all, corn is fed to cows to make them fat in a quick and cheap way.
What they’re farming are not animals, but are farming grass. Food is more nutritious in its fresh and whole form, but most supermarkets sell food that is processed. You get what you pay for, cheap food has a negative effect on your health. They want to change the way the food industry works and give the opportunity to provide everyone fresh food and not only for those who can afford it. They are
The challenge that is proposed is a cold turkey (no pun intended) restriction on all meats or products otherwise not necessarily healthy or needed for the human body for six weeks in an effort to lose weight and feel healthy. The argument of Veganism as a lifestyle is the focal point of the film. Whereas this film wasn’t per say the most well developed and credible source for this information as it could have been and as many have been in the past, it does a swell job of direct, simple information. At any rate, after many years of work, Wolfson has solidified herself as a filmmaker with this piece. Vegucated is similar in content to Food, Inc., and although it is more hard-core, no exceptions it comes to food, Vegucated finds that we should all be
For example the deforestation of the rainforest to create farmland for major corporations, it creates jobs and allows the big companies to continue to produce a product to meet the demand of the population i.e. Mcdonalds. Through this ethical theory you would find the good in the result of the action in how much pleasure it provides to the customers. Bentham’s hedonic idea of quantitative pleasure coincides with this, the amount of people pleasurised/pleased, the duration of the pleasure and the intensity determines its value. The deforestation of the rainforest only directly affects a small margin of people whereas the production of 99p cheeseburgers across the world provides pleasure for inconceivably large amount of people.
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.
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.
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.
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?
Although pesticides and antibiotics are heavily used to keep poultry chickens protected from diseases. Moreover, recent studies have shown that excess of protein intake in a person’s diet leads to the loss of bone calcium as meat eaters generally get for more protein then they actually need or can use. So, in order to live a healthy and long life span one should switch from non-vegetarian to vegetarian or vegan diet. On the other hand, most vegetables are naturally low in fat and calories. Vegetables are important sources of many nutrition including potassium, dietary fibre, folic acid.
Why Vegetarianism is Better Then Eating Meat Tim Owens Globe University-Minnesota School of Business Why Vegetarianism is Better Then Eating Meat Vegetarianism use to be an unusual lifestyle choice. Today it is and has become more common and accepted by mainstream society. While there are many reasons for choosing a vegetarian diet, the most important are health reasons, environmental and economic reasons, and above all, ethical reasons. According to the National Academy of Science reported in 1993 that “people may be able to prevent many common cancers and diseases by eating less fatty meats and more vegetables and grain.” Vegetarians are people who choose not to eat meat. This includes all animal meat, poultry and fish.
