Vegetarianism In Vegetarianism

Vegetarianism is defined as the practice of not eating meat or fish, due to moral, religious, or health reasonings. The practice is believed to be more cost efficient and environmentally friendly, compared to the effects of resourcing omnivorous diets. In addition to the benefits of the practice, is the idea that rather than changing the societal habits as a whole, prudence should be the main practice. In Haspel’s article, “Vegetarian or Omnivore: The Environmental Implications of Diet”, he develops the overall beneficial impacts of prudence towards the impacts of vegetarianism compared to omnivorous diets, through the manipulation of organizational structure, analogies and juxtaposition, and bilateral tone, illustrating how with all decisions

Haspel illustrates his strategy in the introduction, elucidating that “the argument that a vegetarian diet is more planet-friendly than a carnivorous one is straightforward...As with most arguments about our food supply, though, it’s not that simple.” The author starts by declaring the assertion that vegetables are superior to meat, but then expounds upon the argument in that selective meats may be superior to vegetables. Although this contradiction of Haspel’s own beliefs and ideas appear to mitigate his stance on vegetarianism, by arranging the essay in this way, he establishes credibility and displays confidence in the fact that he forms a relationship with the audience by receiving their trust in providing a panoramic platform of information. Haspel’s organizational pattern satisfies the divisiveness of vegetarianism, due to the surge in research in modern day, which then captivates the audience’s attention without readers taking offense as a result of the logical nature of the

Pythagoras, a famous mathematician better known for his “Pythagorean Theorem”, is widely considered the “Father of Vegetarianism” because of his actions avoiding the consumption of animals based on the moral belief that killing animals is cruel. This idea, of abstaining from the consumption of meat based on moral issues evolved over time to modern day, where are greater range of aspects are taken into account. For instance, the negative effect on the environmental and the possible detrimental impact on the human body are both factors now heavily considered. Over time, along with technological and societal advancements, people have developed a broader knowledge on controversial topics, such as vegetarianism. In order to contrast biased opinions, people collect logical evidence to support their claims and arguments, but in many cases, these personal opinions and thoughts can cloud the raw facts and evidence. Parallel to this, Haspel decisively builds his argument, one that supports change in food production and consumption over dietary restrictions such as vegetarianism, by collecting logical evidence, statistics, rather than focusing on the usually dominating emotions that carry with a topic based in morality. With any relevant topic, too often people base their ideas on a single snapshot, or limited view of information often clouded by outside factors such as
