Meat Persuasive Speech

Improved Essays
Don’t you just love it when you bleed to death on your third birthday. And also when you would be put in the electric chair by age five. Or when you would be killed by your first week alive, just because you don’t produce products. You would be ground up alive, burned to death, crushed by a weight, or drowned in large tubs, just because you are a boy. And you just love how you get force fed 4 times a day just because your liver has to be 9 times bigger than a normal liver. And how would you like to be apart of history, but you have to? You die 90% of the time, or you are briefly mentioned in a science catalog and live a controlled and beaten life 10% of the time. It’s a win-win!

So it really comes down to your decision; solving world hunger with 12 times the food for others, or that one piece of steak you had on a friday night that wasn’t even that good because the grill man overdid the steak because you asked for medium rare, but you got medium well. It’s a shame how many people you could’ve fed. And our carbon footprint could be cut down so drastically. Globalcitizen.com says that all the livestock in the world cause more air pollution than all the cars, buses, planes, ships and other modes of transportation in the world combined. Think of all the greenhouse gases we could cut down on. My second to last point is that being vegan can help your body be maintained better and work better. One science proven fact by Healthline.com states that you can lose more than 20 pounds in 3 months just by going vegan. Obesity is a huge problem in the USA, and veganism could help end

    1) The purpose of “Meatless Monday” is to raise awareness of the detrimental environmental impact of eating meat, preserve precious natural resources and to encourage people to help slow climate change: “If being the number one contributor to the most serious threat facing the planet (global warming) isn't enough, what is?”.

Living the Vegan lifestyle means that you completely forgo any meat, or food produced by animals which include milk, cheese, and eggs.…
