The Benefits of Raising a Vegetarian Child In the last decade, many Americans have transitioned to a vegetarian diet. With this shift, they have also transitioned their children into these diets as well. This change has been very controversial because most think that children will not receive the correct nutrition on a vegetarian diet. In the article “Against Meat”, written by Jonathan Foer, the idea of raising children vegetarian is discussed a great deal. Jonathan Foer is an American Novelist. He now teaches creative writing at New York University. Foer is best known for his novels Everything Is Illuminated and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, which were both adapted into films. The article “Against Meat” is from Foer’s book, Eating Animals, which appeared in the New York Times in 2009.

Online writing does pay a little better if you are writing academic essays for students, but the sad fact is that it is difficult to bluff your way through.
