However, do vegetarians healthier and have a longer live-span than meat eater? This question has been argued for a few decades and still do not have a definite answer. In point of view, I do not think there are any distinct differences in the life span between the vegetarians and meat eaters. Now, I would like to explain the advantages and disadvantages of both vegetarians’ diets and non-vegetarians’ diets and elaborate my point of views on this topic. Vegetarianism is the practice of a diet that excludes meat (including game and slaughter by-products), fish (including shellfish and other sea animals) and poultry.
This is why vegans usually tend to look very slim and frail. Numerous studies have shown that poor meal planning is a big cause of nutritional deficiencies in vegans (Medicine Net). It is an everyday struggle for a vegan to plan their meals so that they can at least get a sufficient amount of these important nutrients. On the other hand, vegetarians do not have to worry about this problem almost at all. A big reason of this is because a vegetarian can consume dairy products.
A person can become a vegan because of ethical reasons involving animal rights, for environmental factors, or for better health. According to an article published by “PETA”, approximately 2.5 percent of people in the U.S. are vegans. Veganism is seen as a subset of various possible vegetarian diets/lifestyles. Virtually all vegan societies also add that a vegan does not use products that come from animals, such as leather, wool, cosmetics, or products, which have been tested on animals. The Vegetarian Resource Group states that "vegans, in addition to being vegetarian, do not use other animal products and by-products such as eggs, dairy products, honey, leather, fur, silk, wool, cosmetics, and soaps derived from animal products."
This includes all animal meat, poultry and fish. Vegetarians that consume only eggs and dairy products are called ovo-lacto vegetarians. People who do not eat any animal product (including honey) are called vegans. Health reasons alone are sufficient grounds for becoming a vegetarian. We do not require meat in our diets and it is healthier to avoid meat.
Universitatea Tehnică din Cluj-Napoca, Centrul Universitar Nord din Baia Mare Facultatea de Litere Specializare: L.R.E III To Be or Not To Be a Vegetarian Student: Carmen Agoşton Februarie 2013 Abstract: Nowadays more and more people decide to adopt a vegetarian diet. Some of them are driven by spiritual and environmental issues, others go meatless out of health reasons. In the past few years, it has been a subject matter of debate - whether it is a healthy or a harmful practice. Both sides of the argument are emphasizing facts about the health of each diet and whether people should be vegetarians or not. Key words: vegetarianism, meatless, environment, health, nutrition.
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.
m. Molly is lacto-ovo vegetarian which means she doesn’t consume any kind of animal meats including fish. I’m most concerned about her fat-soluble vitamins(A,D,E,K) b12 levels which are only found in animal foods, as well as important fatty acids in fish such as EPA and DHA, since these lipid components provide ½ of the energy in human milk. n. As far as supplements, they both don’t need it since B12 should have been injected in the baby after birth since she is a vegan. She has an option to increase her intake in foods rich with EPA and DHA that aren’t animal
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
Supplier Power The suppliers in this market are dairy farmers and their power is assessed as being moderate. Dairy products are made of milk, and there are no real substitutes to this raw input. In most industries, if a firm’s inputs are limited and can only come in a few forms, they have a narrower range of choices, which limits their capacity to shop for the best deals. That typically increases bargaining power of suppliers. But, in the dairy industry, since the government sets the prices of milk, for players like Saputo there are virtually no differences between buying from one farmer to another, which significantly reduces supplier power.
(Mayell, 2005). Vitamins have a lower intake of vitamin B-12 than do omnivores (Hermann, et at., 2003). Meat provides the best source of vitamin B12. Vegetables who do not supplement their eating routine with vitamin B12 will in the long run get anemia (a deadly condition) additionally serious anxiousness as well as digestive system damage might take place. (Byrnes, 2002).
