Vegetarians: The Way They Came To Earth

Decent Essays
Scientists have discovered ancient grains. No, not the quinoa and spelt you'll find in Whole Foods, but ancient grains with explosive origins from Space. By extracting dust grains from meteorites, scientists were able to find out their history and how they came to Earth.

STARS SPEWED OUT PRESOLAR GRAINS ALL OVER EARTH

As one may assume, presolar grains are older than the sun. They were thrown up by the stars in the universe hundreds of millions of years ago. Way before Earth had a solar system. By analyzing these ancient grains, scientists can trace the origins from the stars and how they got to Earth. Thanks to the wonders of technology, researchers can build computers simulating these star explosions to see if they came from something like

    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.…

    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…

That little planet that can create life was populated and civilization has grown from there and the humans have come up with theories as to what their world looked like from space and what was encompassing them. They’ve questioned how they were made and what “thing” or “things” made it possible for them to exist and how those “things” created the mysterious weather from the…

    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.…

    Originating from cosmic events such as supernovas, chemical elements are the foundation of all life. Billions of years ago, a violent explosion known as the Big Bang produced helium, hydrogen, and all of the matter and energy in the universe. Generated in the cores of stars, nuclei combined to form atoms which constitute the basic unit of all chemical elements. The extensive expansion of the universe induced the birth and demise of more stars and consequently the creation of more elements.…
