Summary: A Trip To A Vegan Oktoberfest

Decent Essays
On Friday, October 16, 2015, I went to a Vegan Oktoberfest with two other Vegan friends. When we go there, the first thing that we did was buy the German Plate. Normally, during Oktoberfest people are supposed to drink tons of beer; however, we went to the event because we wanted to eat tons of food. Nonetheless, after an hour or so, Brian, a graduate student from UT, decided that he wanted to have a beer. Bella, a sophomore at UT, and I became anxious due to Brian being our driver. Furthermore, after the event ended, Brian asked Bella to drive because he didn’t want to take any risks. From this experience, I learned that Brian was flexible, self-connecting, analytical, and specific during this situation. Of course a cup of beer didn’t influence

Despite the odds, though, Wes’ judgement is proven wrong and Brian is able to perform the task, wonderfully. However, Wes continues to nag and belittle Brian during the job; offering him almost no respect, even as Brian strives to work hard for him. For instance, Wes says “You young punks, you’re all the same, soft. Not like me when I was your age” when he catches Brian taking a breather, after one hour of shovelling gravel (75).…

    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?”. I would say that the idea if the Meatless Monday is great and I would definitely participate. Each person can decide what is the reason for him to participate – the described by Jonathan Foer contemporary conventional factory farming conditions and animal’s suffering or the fact that it causes unintended health consequences and encompasses also environmental problems. “Not responding is a response - we are equally responsible for what we don't do.”…

    In January, 2000 Laura Fraser wrote the article “Why I Stopped Being a Vegetarian” for Salon magazine. Fraser is an author published in several national magazines including The New York Times, Vogue, and O: the Oprah magazine. Attempting to reach an audience of either new or long term vegetarians/vegans, Fraser discusses her journey of changing her vegetarian lifestyle of 15 years to quitting entirely. She happened to write this article in the beginning of the year while most are advancing their new year's resolutions. Perhaps she was trying to convince newly vegetarians or vegans not to continue with their resolutions, or maybe it was all just a coincidence of timing.…

    Most scandals in industries are never brought to life. People are paid very well to keep things hushed up and out of the public eye. If we knew what really went down in most big companies, the loss of business would be deleterious to the profit margin, and that is the last thing CEOs want. However, once in a blue moon some brave soul steps in and sees the problem, and they know they have to tell the world what is going on. My Year of Meats by Ruth Ozeki demonstrates how the use of hormones in the meat industry affects the women and men who both consume the products as well as come into contact with them through other means.…

    There’s a rule where it says you can’t eat or drink on the bus,but students eat and drink all the time on the bus. If you don’t believe this you can look at the bus cameras to see how many students have done this. So there’s a problem with this rule existing because it’s like it doesn’t exist. This rule also exists for pointless reasons that will be explained later. So it’s time to change the rule or just get rid of it except there’s going to be a compromise.…

    Laughter has been said to be the best medicine of all. This medicine, however, cannot cure the effectiveness of an argument and instead can be seen to poison it in some cases. In Laura Fraser’s “Why I Stopped Being a Vegetarian,” Fraser depicts personal incidents of dabbling in vegetarianism and uses this to assert that people should not be vegetarian and instead decrease the amount of meat consumed. Though humor may then seem to be the appropriate method of conveying her opinion, it is often detrimental towards her argument because it causes her ideas to seem nonsensical and often apathetic towards those who wholeheartedly believe in vegetarianism.…
