Rhetorical Analysis of an article
Wellesley, L., Happer, C., & Froggatt, A. (2016). Chatham House Report: Changing Climate, Changing Diets: Pathways to Lower Meat Consumption
Humans need to consume less meat for health and environmental purposes. The author Laura Wellesley wrote an article that was published in 2016 entailing the importance of consuming less meat and the need for the government to establishing policies that discourage excessive consumption of meat. Wellesley argues that there is a rapid increase in the levels of meat consumption in the United States of America and across European countries. The level of meat consumption has reached the unsustainable level for both the human health and the planet. …show more content…
She further explains that if the rate of meat consumption continues to grow, by 2050, the global meat consumption will increase massively (Wellesley, n.p). These perspectives draw in a health concern for individuals because of the intake of red meat and processed meat. Meat significantly contributes to increasing the number of individuals suffering from chronic diseases such as cancers, heart illness, and type-2 diabetes. Also, she highlights environmental concerns such as land and water drainage. Wellesley continues to provide statistical evidence showing the importance of reducing meat consumption. According to Wellesley, livestock accounts for about 14.5% of greenhouse gas emissions; this is vital for maintaining the rise of global temperature below 2 degrees (Wellesley, …show more content…
For example, Wellesley illustrates that it would be prudent to switch from intake of bacon to bean taco. This perspective does not highlight the dangers of the alternative to meat-eating. Due to the climatic changes and its effects, plants produce methane whether it is consumed by cows or is the decaying matter. Therefore, if the individuals switch from consuming bacon to bean taco, eventually they will be producing a similar amount of methane. Furthermore, the author may arouse the readers’ critics by stating all meat is not healthy. The factory meat has high-risk factors while the alternative has environmental benefits. The consumption of processed vegetable oils can result in increasing sugar levels in the body and cause chronic illnesses. These perspectives lower the author’s credibility and claims as it shows she did not conduct diversified research and accrued findings that are selective to suit her
