History of Vegetarianism Section One: Introduction The practice of abstaining from eating meat, or being vegetarian, has been observed since the beginning of time. Although vegetarianism has not been a popular trend until the late 20th century, a plant-based diet has been practiced for many years and for many reasons. With increasingly advanced technology, more and more people have explored the practice, benefits, and philosophy of a meatless diet. To better understand vegetarianism, and why a…

Losing Our Relationship With Animals by Losing our Omnivorous Ways Throughout history, meat has always had a presence as a major part of the human diet. Gary Steiner argues in “Animal, Vegetable, Miserable” that everyone should forswear their meat-eating ways and instead turn to veganism, while many of the respondents in “The Ethical Choices in What We Eat: Responses to Gary Steiner,” either provide support or denounce Steiner’s argument. By using Steiner’s point of view, many of the…

Hunters and gatherers, and agriculturists. They are the same in many ways. But they are also very different. I'm going to go back to when there wasn't any grocery stores and you had to go out and get your own food or grow it. Back when there wasn't any big cities or concrete cities. This is a time when the world was free, absolutely free. When there wasn't technology it was either you went out and killed your food, or later in time they figured out that you could grow it. If you were a hunter…

In humans it’s diagnosed as celiac disease, in dogs it simply called gluten sensitivity or gluten-induced enteropathy. Before you decide whether or not to introduce your canine companion to a grain or gluten free diet, let’s take a look at both. Firstly, all dog food marked “grain-free” is also gluten free but that does not…

We are all just a plain paper bag. The same paper bag we take to excursions in kindergarten and the same ones we toss away in the trash bin, as our minds ripen. Whether it is breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner: inside lays food of ambrosial or acrid quality. Until you actually look inside of the bag, you never take into consideration what is inside. Like how everyone values one's integrity and exquisite talents, we may never actually know until you cautiously open another plain paper bag to…

Society, “Veganism is a way of living which seeks to exclude, as far as is possible and practicable, all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose”. It is commonly confused with a similar philosophy of vegetarianism. There are several reasons surrounding why one would choose to become vegan. Some argue that the animal’s right to live and to not be exploited for human’s well-being, along with the health benefits and potential environmental effects…

necessary in fact for survival. We, as a society, need to change the way we live for the sake of the earth, the animals, and ourselves. The most practical solution, and the one that would have the most impact, is to shift to a more plant-based diet. Vegetarianism means not eating meat while veganism is a lifestyle that entails not consuming or using any animal goods, and while it may seem extreme to some, the benefits of such a diet are enormous. It seems that today almost everyone is looking to…
