Should all meat-eaters be fully blameworthy for their indulgence? Many people support or decry people who are meat-eaters without knowing much background on this controversial topic. By reading the excerpt, Puppies, Pigs and People: Eating Meat and Marginal Cases by Alastair Norcross, I have improved my perception of why so many people are against meat eating. Throughout this excerpt, Norcross believes that meat-eaters are fully blameworthy for their indulgence. On the other hand, I personally…

Bell's meat mix was tested and it was found that about 15% of it was protein. That might not sound like a lot, but for ground beef, it’s right around normal. That is because ground beef is mainly composed of water and fat so that percentage of protein is normal. However, that’s not all that was tested. There were some ingredients that were found in the meat that you would not find in your supermarket meat. One such ingredient is soy lecithin. That is a binding agent so without it, the meat mix…

The Link Between Meat and Cancer : After reading this article I believe that it is very well written and contains a plethora of accurate information; however, it still does not change my beliefs in veganism. To begin, the explanation on how increased heme, the iron containing compound that gives meat its red color, increases the risk of cancer is very true. The greater the amount of red meat one eats, as opposed to fish meat or white meat, such as chicken, does in fact increase the heme in the…

Jay Bost begins his essay on the ethics of eating meat by introducing himself as a former vegetarian. He claims that he has given much thought about the ethics of eating meat. His dietary changes were based on ethics. This is why he returned to conscientious meat-eating after being vegetarian and vegan. Bost's ethical reasons behind abstaining from meat were obvious and clear. Nowadays, most animals are raised and killed in cruel conditions. Grain that could feed hungry people feeds animals…

controversy in the nutrition world over which is healthier, red meat (beef, pork, and lamb) or white meat (chicken and turkey). Both meats are full of protein, however too much of either can cause many adverse health effects. The consumption of meat is on the rise and the United States is the highest consumer of meat (Trends in meat consumption in the USA. Daniel, C. R., Cross, A. J., Koebnick, C., & Sinha, R.). With a fast-acting rise of meat consumption, people should be aware of the…

Real White Meat 5. “I don't eat meat,” Tim told me after I stretched my arm across the table and offered him a bite of my burger. The meat peeking out from under the bun, was moist, rare and topped with blue cheese. It was our second date. I put the burger back on my plate, trying to hide it behind our water and beer glasses. I looked at Tim’s meal. A whole-wheat wrap filled with chickpeas and lettuce. It began to make sense. He had suggested Life Alive, a vegetarian…

consumer make healthier choices, grass-fed beef is better for the environment and more humane for the cattle; is also important what the foods we eat, what they consumed during their lifetime. Factory meat has obesity-causing hormones and usually contains…

1. Meat is so tasty because humans are closely related to meat eaters, humans have eaten meat since nearly the beginning of time, and meat can be viewed as a sign of success. Herzog argues that meat is so tasty because we “evolved from a long line of meat-eaters”. He argues that like chimpanzees, humans enjoy the way that meat tastes. Humans simply eat more meat than chimpanzees do. Another reason describing why meat is so tasty is because, in the words of BoBo, “that’s how our ancestors…
