    A. In Michael Pollan’s informative novel, The Omnivore’s Dilemma, the author encourages the idea that food has a greater role than just filling our stomachs. He does this by informing the readers about each of the aspects in which food contributes to, such as environmental and even political roles. In doing so, Pollan separates his novel into sections; each diving deeper into an idea that some may glance over. The author, using these sections consisting of the industrial, organic, and hunting-gathering food chains, discuss the dilemma humans must face when picking their meals.…

    In this essay, I will consider the topic of vegetarianism from the perspective of environmental concerns that are often associated with the production of meat. In the article, Vegetarianism and Planetary health (2000), Michael Allen Fox states that strict vegetarianism ought to be adopted in order to avoid the eco-destructive nature of the livestock industry. Although there may be some truth to Fox’s initial premise which claims that eating meat is harmful for the environment, I will argue that strict vegetarianism is in fact unnecessary, as it does not exclusively solve the issue of ecological destruction. I will aim to expand on Fox’s claims in order to establish that it is better and more viable to adopt a ‘Demi-Vegetarian’ diet as described…

    It seems to me that in this world people are becoming more and more preoccupied with the food that they eat and unreasonably so if that’s possible. There even seems to be a cold war in effect between advocates of the “organic” movement and those who staunchly defend conventional practices. This proverbial war is being waged vehemently within the realm of meat production. As more and more horror stories circulate about just how the beef in our Big Macs and the chicken in our McChicken come to be more and more people have begun to advocate a better way. This “better way” is the not so new and, as I plan to vindicate, not so improved “grass-feed” approach, as opposed to the conventional Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation (CAFO) raised beef.…
