What Is Jasmine's Reason For Becoming Vegan?

Improved Essays
Jasmine’s reason for becoming vegan is animal welfare. She believes that animals should be treated humanely, such as not putting animals (like cows and sheep) onto trucks without feeding them for long periods of time, only to be sent to the meat works. Jasmine will need to stay strong and stick to her beliefs as people may test her beliefs or call her names such as weird or odd because of her beliefs. She could explain her beliefs to people to help them understand her viewpoint and to educate them on the animal welfare issues she feels passionate about. To help strengthen her beliefs, Jasmine could join animal welfare and animal rights groups, such as Safe (https://www.safe.org.nz/) to strengthen her beliefs. She could also join the vegan society, …show more content…
She can get the vegorama or spicy veg trio pizzas with no cheese. Dominoes do warn that the pizzas may not be 100% meat free as they work in an environment with meat, so Jasmine will need to be aware of this. She will also need to be aware that the staff may not change their gloves after handling meat so she may need to ask them to change them to avoid contamination. At Hell’s Pizza, Jasmine can get the gluten free and thin bases and the pride, purgatory, sinister, or veggie mayhem. She can also get the limbo, veggie pandemonium, damned or veggie grimm without cheese. She will need to be aware that the staff may not change their gloves, so she may need to ask them to. At Pizza Hut, Jasmine can get the thin or hand-tossed bases and veggie supreme, tropical veg, or hot & spicy veggie with no cheese. The staff may not change their gloves after handling meat so she may need to ask them to change them to avoid …show more content…
She has the option of hiring vegan catering or making the party a ‘bring you own’ food. If she made the party a ‘bring you own’ food she could make it a barbeque and ask a few friends to bring something along that is vegan-friendly, for example vegan sausages, vegan garlic breads, etc. this would help cut down the cost of buying food for herself. She could cook all the vegan food inside and meat or animal products outside.
If she chose to hire a vegan caterer, she could set out a menu where there would be lots of options for her and her friends. She could also buy and heat some non-vegan food for some of her friends in case they didn’t like the vegan food. A few choices for vegan caterers in wellington are Word Of Mouth, Baobab Café, and Great Aunt Jo’s. However, having a caterer may cost too much money for Jasmine as she is still in Uni
Jasmine’s aunt doesn’t have a good understanding of a healthy vegan lifestyle, so when Jasmine helps prepare meals and buy food, she will be able to help her aunt understand the types of foods (such as tofu, chickpeas and lentils) that are good for her and what portions of the foods she needs. Jasmine will also need to have different cooking equipment (such as frying pans, chopping boards, and bowls) and utensils (such as knives, spoons, and spatulas) and equipment to prevent her food from coming into contact with any meat or animal products. She will also be able to bond with her aunty and talk to her about

    Tristram McPherson enthusiastically sets out to prove that killing animals under nearly any circumstance is morally wrong. In “Why I am Vegan”, he lays out a multitude of different reasons which it is wrong to kill even painlessly. McPherson has several very valid and reasonable ideas however they lack any type of support as to why they should be upheld. McPherson spends a lot of the second section considering the autonomy and future of the animals; however, more importantly he compares the killing of animals to the killing of humans. McPherson does not provide adequate reasoning for why the practice of killing animals is morally wrong.…

    When it comes to Global warming, being a vegetarian should be turned to as a first resort rather than going more toward the Prius, a car that has been made to cut vehicle emissions in half in an attempt to fight against global warming. Kathy Freston’s article “Vegetarian is the new Prius” caught my eye immediately when choosing an essay for the very fact that, I want Toyota Prius, and also because I’ve tried going vegetarian. Although I see nothing wrong with being a vegetarian, the lifestyle just didn’t work for me. I do to a certain extent agree with her argument because ever since I took ecology in high school, the environment has been very important to me, and I do what I can to help preserve it. Freston wrote that President Herbert Hoover promised a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage”.…

    Parents are a vital component to a child’s life. They not only dictate how one will grow but they nurture from the moment the baby is in the womb. Although some parents are great at this aspect of bringing up a child, some are not so fitted for the job. Rex and Rosemary Walls can be seen to contradict this idea of “great parenting” throughout the Memoir “The Glass Castle” by Jeanette Walls. The couple fail to accept aid from other people when in need, keep their children safe and resist being selfish for their own needs.…

    In The Glass Castle, the author named Jeannette Walls thinks of a plan to aright a bended Joshua tree that she sees in the Desert.

    In Jeannette Walls’ life, moving from place to place was no big deal. At least not until her family packed up and moved across the country to a little town called Welch. Jeannette often had to adjust to a new town and a new home, but not an entirely new environment. In her memoir, The Glass Castle, Jeannette recalls doing the “skedaddle” several times. The most adventurous “skedaddle” was moving from the deserts of Arizona to the Appalachian hollows of West Virginia.…

    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.…

    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.…

    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.…

    Lifestyle Superiority The debacle between omnivorous and vegetarian diets has been in effect for several years trying to determine which diet is superior to the other, and there are many factors that contribute to each. The omnivorous diet consists of consuming both meat and plant-based foods for a “well-balanced” diet. This diet allows for the consumer to gain necessary proteins and vitamins to help the body function and grow. It also helps in the process of muscle growth and health. A vegetarian diet is comprised of plant-based meals, cutting out any meats from ordinary diets.…
