Veganism

The only sentence in the essay that comes close to a counter argument is “All of your daily nutrients can be found in plant-based sources,” (Garretson). This lack of counterargument could have been why Garretson implies the switch to veganism while never saying the word vegan. Throughout the essay she makes references to the negatives of not only meat but dairy and eggs too. One example is the quote found on the previous paragraph about alzheimer’s disease being linked to not only meat…

try to lose weight and maintain their health. It’s almost like a fashion trend. “Well, someone famous is doing so I should do the same!” One type of diet stuck out to me the most: veganism. Many people are curious about what a vegan diet pertains to as well as the health benefits that a plant-based diet proffers. Veganism is also met with an equal number of opponents to tend to bash the lifestyle, posting playful internet memes about it on social networking sites and bantering about the flaws…

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 improve the state of the environment and…

The health benefits of a vegan diet Hearing the word “vegan” most people imagine an animal loving hippie who thinks they’re better than everyone else. Well yes, vegans do love animals, very much, they’re usually the reason why someone chooses to go vegan in the first place. If there is a rejection of conventional values, then sure call them a hippie. Are they better than everyone else? Well we just won’t discuss that right now. People can’t live without using labels for others, so what should…

Almost every child in the world grows up learning, thinking, and accepting that eating the flesh of animals is good for you, drinking cow’s milk will make your bones strong, eating eggs for breakfast is a healthy meal, etc. I have believed all of these things for the majority of my life. As a child, I would drink cow’s milk even though I never enjoyed the taste of it simply because I was told that it will make you strong, healthy, and will help you grow. I would eat eggs in the morning because…

Peter Singer was one of the early voices of the animal rights movement and his book, Animal Liberation, is a call to action to convert society to veganism. For those who were convinced, many made the switch temporary. Nathaniel Johnson pointed out in his essay “Is there a Moral Case for Meat?” that vegetarianism only accounts for about “2-4 percent in any society and long term (at least a decade) or…

Going Vegan Going vegan changed my whole entire perspective on how the world works. How I discovered veganism was by my new aunt who was just introduced to the family. She is vegetarian and also had a big passion for animals she would even feed stray cats. So thanks to her my mind was intrigued by her lifestyle and the way she lived it. Later in sixth grade I saw videos by a vegan youtuber then my mind was reintroduced. The youtuber showed all kinds of recipes and just how easy…

While traditional…

You scream, I scream, we all scream for… VEGANISM! Okay, okay, no we don’t. Let me just start off by saying this is not another vegan advocacy. Trust me, there’s already one too many of those. I’m not here to convince you that not eating meat will somehow magically let you talk to animals or that if you do choose to eat meat you’ll be condemned to hell, although, some people are so ignorant and/or gullible they’d probably believe it. I agree, some vegans are so angry at the world sometimes I…
