  • More Pros Than Cons In A Meat-Free Life Analysis

    125 Words  | 1 Pages

    The argumentative article “More Pros than Cons in a Meat-Free Life” authored by Marjorie Lee Garretson was published in the student newspaper of the University of Mississippi in April 2010. In Garretson’s article, she said that a vegetarian lifestyle is the healthy life choice and how many people don’t know how the environment is affected by their eating habits. She argues how the animal factory farms mistreat the animals in an inhumane way in order to be sources of food. Although, she did not really achieve the aim she wants it for this article, she did not do a good job in trying to convince most of the readers to become vegetarian because of her writing style and the lack of information of vegetarian

  • Analysis Of Shattering The Meat Myth By Kathy Freston

    758 Words  | 2 Pages

    Throughout “Shattering the Meat Myth”, Freston attempts to convince her audience that eating animal protein is detrimental to the health of humans. While most vegetarian diets (if followed with precision) are very healthy, practicing a diet that involves meat is not necessarily as deteriorating as she implies. Freston quotes Dr. William C. Roberts, editor of American Journal of Cardiology, pertaining to subject of saturated fats and cholesterol. He states, “When we kill animals to eat them, they end up killing us…” (Freston). This statement however is an example of oversimplification and an appeal to bathos, referencing the power of death. In reality, there are a variety of factors that contribute to the overall health of an individual and consuming animal products, in itself, has not been shown by scientific evidence to cause fatality. Kathy Freston also includes a quotation from Dr. Neal Barnard,

  • Examining the Body and Soul by Focusing on the Eating Habits of Human Beings

    743 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Hungry Soul: Eating and the Perfecting of Human Nature, by Leon Kass takes a unique view of examining the body and soul by focusing on the eating habits of human beings. He uses this in order to distinguish humans from animals and the divine element (God). In this book, Kass touches on the point of sanctified eating. In Kass' final chapter, he looks at the "created order", the dietary laws in the chapter of Leviticus in the Holy Bible and the problem of eating. Not only do these sub-chapters actually give a good sense of what humans are in the design of divinity, but it also shows how far human beings have to go in order to be close to the divine power of God.

  • A Modest Proposal: A Critical Analysis Of The Problem Of Cannibalism

    1142 Words  | 3 Pages

    Cannibalism is a very taboo subject, it is illegal and viewed ethically wrong to most people and religions. This topic is problematic not only morally, but to societies which thrive on law and order, it would jeopardize all that a society depends on. Which is why it is so important to analyze a legitimate document that argues for cannibalism. Jonathan Swift’s argument “A Modest Proposal” takes the topic of cannibalism and argues that it would be practical at the time to solve the problem of poverty in Ireland.

  • Mad Cow Disease: Mad Cow Disease

    637 Words  | 2 Pages

    BSE has been seen to progress very slowly in relation to other diseases, however is very contagious and fatal for not only cattle, but humans as well. While many diseases that are transmittable from animals to humans will affect the young or older humans, the median age of those infected with Mad Cow Disease is 26 (2). BSE has been linked to a fatal brain disease in humans referred to as variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease or vCJD. Eating meat from an infected cow is what many presume to be the cause of vCJD in humans (3). Symptoms include movement deficits, memory disturbances and cognitive impairments, all of which lead to an eventual death. The majority of the BSE cases reported have primarily been outside of the United States; from 2003 to 2012 23 cases were identified in North America, 4 of which in the United States (1). This may seem to be a small amount, however because it is believed to be transmitted through the meat of cattle it can be extremely dangerous and be shipped all over the United States before it is ever identified.

  • The Truth about Cannibalism

    707 Words  | 2 Pages

    Typical Western thought directs people to examine the practices of cannibalism as savage and primitive. More often than not, this type of association exists because the people viewing the action are frightened and confused by that which they do not understand. In fact, some would even claim that, “cannibalism is merely a product of European imagination” (Barker, 2), thereby completely denying its existence. The belief that cannibalism goes against “human instinct”, as seen in many literary works including Tarzan, reduces those who practice it to being inhuman. (Barker, 1) However, scientific findings demonstrate that those who practice cannibalism are still human despite their difference in beliefs; therefore, not only can rationalization be extrapolated from those who practice the act of cannibalism, but also denying the fact of the participant’s very humanity has been undermined through scientific findings.

For each meal, I planned to just have less meat than I would usually eat. Because I cooked my own meals most of the time, I could change the amount of chicken meat I put into my meal. For example instead of cooking a whole chicken, I could use three fourth of the whole

  • Negative Externalities Of Unhealthy Food

    995 Words  | 2 Pages

    Eating unhealthy food has a vast effect in our lives. We may become obese and get prone to diseases like diabetes, heart diseases etc. This will affect our life and also the people around us. Research by BBC says that 10-11 year old children in UK are obese while one in three is overweight. Another study says about teenagers suffering from diabetics. So when we start thinking the causes for this issue, it’s because the junk food is cheaper than most healthy foods. Take for example a Hamburger in McDonald is 35 cents whereas one salad will cost around $2. So obviously people will go for junk food because it’s cheap, easily available and it’s tasty. The taste factor plays a important role here.
