Vegetarianism
As Americans become increasingly more health conscious, vegetarian diets are becoming more and more common. Produce-aisle signs stating eat 5 a day for better health are beginning to pay off, along with the USDA-DHHS Dietary Guidelines for Americans, which state: Many American diets have too many calories and too much fat (especially saturated fat), cholesterol,and sodium. They also have too little complex carbohydrates and fiber. Such diets are one cause of America’s high rates of obesity and of certain diseases-heart disease, high blood pressure,stroke, diabetes, and some forms of cancer http://www.childsecure.com/veggie.htm
Different types of vegetarians include the vegan, who follows a strict diet excluding eggs, dairy,and all other animal products; the lacto-ovo-vegetarian, who eats a diet of mainly grains,vegetables, fruits, legumes, seeds, nuts, dairy products, and eggs, and excludes meat, fish, and poultry; the lacto-vegetarian, who excludes animal flesh and eggs; the ovo-vegetarian, who excludes animal flesh and dairy products; and the semi-vegetarian, who abstains from only red meat and poultry http://www.penpages.psu.edu/penpages_reference/12101/121012505.html.
Vegetarian diets have many health benefits, but can also lead to health detriments if proper precautions are not taken. Optimal health, however, can be reached through a carefully planned vegetarian diet.

The American Dietetic Association has taken the position that appropriately planned vegetarian diets are healthful, are nutritionally adequate, and provide health benefits in the prevention of certain diseases http://www.penpages.psu.edu/penpages_reference/12101/121012505.html. . Quite...

The false memory and recovered memory literature is marked by controversy. It examines the phenomenon a variety of patients have exhibited: purportedly “losing” memories of trauma, only to recover them later in life (Gavlick, 2001). In these cases, temporary memory loss is attributed to psychological causes (i.e. a traumatic event) rather than known damage to the brain (Gavlick, 2001). While some assert that the creation of false memories through therapeutic practice is a serious concern and founded associations like the False Memory Syndrome Foundation (FMSF) in the U.S. and the British False Memory Society (BFMS) in order to advocate against psychological malpractice, other researchers contend that the evidence for “false memory syndrome,” or the recovery of untrue memories, is weak (Brewin & Andrews, 1998; Pope, 1996). The debate arose largely in the 1990s, though a consensus in the literature still has not been reached.
People in the state of Georgia learn to bond with its environment, with agriculture becoming Georgia’s main and most important industry. Georgia’s climate also helps it grow things that other places cannot, thus its helping in the United states trade action. People from the northern states move to Georgia to get a feel of its warm average climate. This makes the economy of Georgia greater with a greater population for they will need to provide more materials for the new growing Georgia.
Appropriately planned vegetarian diets can be essential to any one, in any stage of their life. Vegetarian diets are associated with lower risks of cancer, death from ischemic heart disease or any cardiovascular disease. Also lower body mass index (BMI), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, low blood pressure and lower rates of hypertension than those of which are non-vegetarians.
Firstly, in the years leading up to 1914, and the thrust of war wrought about by Gavrilo Princip, the world and its greatest powers were engaged in a substantial build up of their militaries. Indeed, the national consciousness of each individual country, more so for some than for others, had marched, foot in foot and time in time, with the development of the military. It was,indeed, in this feeling of military consciousness that an arms race was engaged between the great powers to be, especially between the English and the Germans. Assuredly, this Anglo-German build-up had derived itself from other causes as well, namely the anger of the Germans by the lack of overseas colonies (in fact, this contempt of colonies led to one the greatest ironies of the war: the build up of a substantial navy, on both sides, for a war th...
A vegetarian diet usually has high fiber and is low in fat and calories. This is why a vegetarian diet is a great option for someone who wants to lose weight. However, a diet too low in fat and calories can be a problem for children and teenagers who are still growing (Becoming a Vegetarian 2014). It is important that someone does not start a new diet without asking a healthcare professional first. Another benefit of a vegetarian diet is that it might be helpful in reducing the risk of heart disease. In a study on 76,000 people, vegetarians were 25% less likely to die of heart disease then someone who eats meat (Harvard Health).Becoming a vegetarian has a lot of health
“...going vegetarian is the single best thing we can do for ourselves as well as for your families,” says Dr. Lina Van (Panchal 27). Choosing to go vegetarian promotes good health, a longer life, helps fight diseases, and can even help people lose weight (Nikki and David Goldbeck 4-7). Specifically, a vegetarian diet excludes meat, fish, shellfish, and poultry. A lacto-vegetarian also does not eat eggs, but can eat dairy products, while an ova-vegetarian can eat eggs, but not dairy products (Panchal 27). Hence a vegetarian diet may seem quite restrictive, but the lifestyle choice could save your life and lead to more adventures in eating (Nikki and David Goldbeck 4-7). A vegetarian diet in America dates back to the colonial times. Vegetarian recipes from this time period come from places such as New England, the South, the Pennsylvania Dutch, the Southwest, and more. However, back in the colonial time, meat was considered only a side dish to the main course of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains (Atlas 13-14). On another note, a vegetarian diet could save the environment, eradicate suffering for animals, and could terminate diseases and other health predicaments. Research has shown that people should change to a vegetarian diet, because it is beneficial to many aspects of life, and is a healthier and safer selection of food rather than a diet containing meat.
“Appropriately planned vegan diets are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. Such diets meet current recommendations for all nutrients, including protein, B-12 and various minerals that previously raised concerns about vegetable-based diets.” (Templeton 1)
A vegetarian diet is common among people with health problems, religious beliefs, and animal concerns. Vegetarianism has been able to spread “to the year-round availability of fresh produce, more vegetarian dining options, and the growing culinary

Vegetarianism, or at least the idea of it, which includes everything from Lacto-ovo-vegetarian to veganism, has existed for quite a long time. There is record of people abstaining from eating meat and flesh well before the Christian Era, and although not as widely practiced it might have been easier to follow such a diet in that time in history. Veganism is the most strict and extreme version of vegetarianism; it was defined in 1944 and very similar to the way people of ancient times practiced it, but with more restrictions due to more food options and more emphasis on ethical concerns. If one was to examine veganism today they would see an extremely disputed practice in terms of what is acceptable to consume according to ethics, health ideas, and the different levels of veganism. The opposition comes from less strict vegetarians and non-vegetarians, it’s the idea that veganism is not the healthier diet to practice, but that a balanced, well rounded diet might actually be more beneficial to one’s health and longevity. More importantly the ethical claim made by people who practice vegan diets isn’t as ethically sound as it’s made out to be. This research paper will examine the different types of vegetarians, specifically people who classify themselves as vegans and raw vegans, the ideas and ethics behind their lifestyle and why they fall short of what they claim, and reasons why practicing this diet may not be the better choice.

Society has recently become increasingly obsessed with health and nutrition, as more and more individuals realize that they can dramatically change their quality of life by adjusting their diet and lifestyle. One way that people have tried to pursue a healthier lifestyle, is by removing meat and other animal products from their diets, whether they become a strict vegetarian who eats no animal byproducts, or a lacto-ovo vegetarian who still eats eggs and dairy. As with any other lifestyle, research is always being done to see if the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, and so far, the results of vegetarian diets have been encouraging. Vegetarian diets have proven to decrease the risk of heart disease, cancer, obesity, and many other health problems. With a little planning and dedication, a vegetarian diet will be healthier and more beneficial than a traditional diet
Repressed memory therapy plays a very important role when it comes to validating a memory. According to one source “RMT is supposed to help psychotherapist patients recover from a childhood of sexual abuse even if there is no evidence that there is no proof they their patients were sexually abused. (Hockmann, John 1995). This is a treatment that helps individuals go into the place in their mind and retrieve the different memories that have been cause them trauma and effecting there emotional mind set. Therefore, the therapist doesn’t have to have and proof that they experienced anything traumatic they help them to come up with their diagnosis” (Hockmann, John 1995). It’s really hard to make this an accountable process because you have a psychotherapist
Vegetarianism used to be an unusual lifestyle choice. Today it is becoming 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.
