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.
On those days, I sometimes drink Ensure to and take vitamins to make up for the nutrients I did not intake throughout the day. My diet does not compare to the recommendations of the Food Guide Pyramid for there’s nothing really to compare. My equivalent for 2 days is 2.4 for the first day, I did not eat. Only servings I had from either food group was 1 serving of milk, 5.1 cup vegetables, 0 fruit, 0.5 milk, and 2.1, meat and beans. I could modify my diet only if I quit working, seriously.
This responsibility also needs to be the leading factor in the lawsuits that are being filed against fast food companies because of childhood obesity. We are all aware of the health risks associated with eating these kind of meals and although children are left with little choice at times as to what to prepare themselves for breakfast, lunch or dinner, there are healthier alternatives for preparing meals which are also cheaper to purchase than fast food. With all the information available on the Internet, brochures at fast food restaurants and other nutrition tips at these establishments we need to hold ourselves responsible for our health and stop blaming the fast food
If someone eats junk food all the time and that person’s mother or friend told him/her to eat healthy, it’s less likely that he/she will listen to them, but if he/she admires Jamie Oliver and he suggests to eat healthy, then there is more possibility for that person to follow what he says. If we do not have a good role model then we will not learn any behaviours and it can make our self esteem low . Humanism
Neither vegans nor vegetarians eat meat. However, while vegetarians tend to consume dairy products and eggs, a vegan avoids all animal products, including eggs and dairy, and often inedible animal-based products, such as leather, wool, and silk. Vegetarianism is usually a diet, while veganism is a lifestyle. Vegetarians often choose their diet based on its reported health benefits or for religious or political reasons. In general, vegans have much stronger political beliefs regarding their diet, with some believing animals should be protected under many of the same laws that humans are.
Because of the absence of labels most Canadian’s don’t even know the nutritional value of the food they eat. Many other countries governments have put different plans into action which have a large impact on the public health. Canadians personal choices and media influences all go against what is actually known to be healthy. So until the Canadian government counter acts the onslaught of unhealthy products coming from the various food industries, by either improving labelling or banning trans fats or both, Canadians will have a hard time improving their nutrition. Until then it’s up to Canadians to know what’s
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
Is it worth it to search for a longer time to get the food that you want? “Further, whereas some areas might find it fairly easy to eat locally (in Washington State, for example, I’m less than fifty miles from industrial quantities of fresh produce, corn, wheat, beef, and milk), people in other parts of the country and the world would have to look farther afield.”. It may be a problem to search for the foods that you want because they may be in unusual areas that you may have never been (or wanted to go) before. You will just have to get over this fact if you want to become a locavore. As you can see, there are many things you must take into account if you want to make the choice to become a locavore.
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.
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.
