Food Industries And Stereotypes

Decent Essays
I think it is very important to know where your food comes from. If you live vegan you have to employ way more for how and what you really eat. It is not really easy to live vegan because animal products are almost everywhere. Food industries want to produce their food cheap and sell it cheap. They don’t treat their animals correctly. Animals have to spend their whole life in a cage, that is so small, they can barely fit in it and the food they get was mixed with medicine so the grow quicker and get fatter. They have a terrible and short life and the only reason why they are raised is to kill them when they’re fat enough. I feel very sorry for the animals and I really don’t want them to be treated like that.and that’s why I decided to be on the pro-vegan side. …show more content…
It is easier these days to live vegan because there are a lot of vegan foods. Many people have stereotypes of vegans. They think vegans only eat Salad. But that’s not true. It is really not as hard as people think it is to eat vegan. There are many replacements for animal sourced foods like vegan milk, that is made out of for example rice, oats, or soya and water. Vegan meat is made out of vegetables or soya and tastes sometimes like real meat. If you are vegan you have to eat a lot of legumes to be balanced because you don’t get as much iron anymore. The vegan lifestyle is a lot more expensive than the normal lifestyle because the products are complex to produce, but it is environmentally friendlier. Many people, especially americans eat way too much meat and other foods that come from animals. It is unhealthy to eat too much meat and it’s bad for our body. Meat does not only contain a lot of proteins, which is good, it also contains a lot of fat, which is bad if you eat too much of

That number shows how America is being taken over by the meat industry. People have begun to turn vegan because they are embarrassed by the way humans treat animals.

    The creator of the vegan website Down to Earth, Mark Fergusson, emphasizes the incredible benefits of a vegetarian and vegan lifestyle in his article, “Top 10 Reasons for Going Veggie.” In Fergusson’s view, it is unethical and unreasonable for one to dine on flesh food while they can devour in a plethora amount of vegetables, fruits, and everything plant-based to receive the benefits one will not gain by consuming meaty food. As he indicates the top ten reasons for a flesh food consumer to convert to an all in all plant-based diet, Fergusson focuses on all the marvelous aid it will do to change one’s health to a better and safer lifestyle.

    Everyone has heard about one fad diet or another. The Paleo Diet, you only eat what cavemen ate, the Atkins Diet, you eat only meat and avoid those sinful carbs, and the Juice Diet, you guessed it you only drink juice, to name just a few. The one thing that these diets have in common as that they have a goal which is to lose weight. On the other hand the Vegan Diet is not only a way of eating but a way of life, which is what makes it so damaging and isolates those from their omnivore peers. Living the Vegan lifestyle means that you completely forgo any meat, or food produced by animals which include milk, cheese, and eggs.…

    "A study funded by the American Farm Bureau Federation found that 95 percent of Americans believe farm animals should be well cared for" (Balk N.p.). In a society where the majority believes in the well treatment of animals, it is not surprising that most are unaware of the unethical practices in factory farms. If the population knew the circumstances placed on the animals such as chaining, crating, burning, dragging and more, all while still alive, there is no doubt that more people would protest and stop eating meat. "You 've got heat stress, rapid growth stress, ammonia stress due to poor air circulation, broken bones from rough handling," says Temple Grandin, an expert in low-stress animal handling facilities and professor of animal science at Colorado State University (Kimble-Evans N.p.). There is no ethical justification of these…

    Benefits Of Veganism

    Anthropocentric idealism is destroying the earth; to believe humans are the most important being on the planet is ridiculous, and extremely selfish. Because of this ideal, non domestic animals are considered of lesser value, and are used for our benefit (whether it be for food, clothing, or other goods.) These animals are not afforded the rights that all living beings deserve- the right to a pain free life and the right to live. This is what vegans fight for, they fight for animal rights, and the end of animal based products to create a healthier and more humane earth. Veganism is a lifestyle that aims to avoid as much abuse and exploitation of animals as possible.…

    The ethical reasons behind embracing the veganism culture involve the exploitation of animals. Vegans believe that it is unethical to consume animal body parts or use them for clothing or any other household items. The torture and killing of animals for any reason, be it for research purposes, entertainment, or for its products is against veganism. As such, vegans feel guilt when eating animal products or meat coming from animals that have been killed or tortured. They believe that it is ethically wrong for people to put their welfare or the desire for animal products over the well-being of the animal.…

    Pets can show signs of sluggishness and laziness when they do not have enough energy which can show difficulty in basic function, and the care from their owners. Pet owners need to stay away from making their own vegan diets for their pets because if the diet becomes insufficient in nutritional value, it leads to poor reproduction, low immunity, and heart failure (HARWARD 2). A pet could suffer from malnutrition if he or she does not receive the needed nutrients and vitamins in meat based food items. Raising a pet that people eat or even feed to other pets in a manner of dignity costs plenty more than the average person’s budget (Morrone 1). In addition to expensive medical bills, changing a pet’s diet to one without meat stands as a costly decision and usually not affordable for the average pet owner.…
