Individuals who are on vegetarian diet tend to have more energy. When one consumes too much fat in his or her body (blood stream) the arteries will not open properly hence the muscles will not receive oxygen which is enough and this always makes an individual to feel zapped. Vegetarian diet also makes one avoid toxic chemicals. From the estimation of EPA nearly 95% of the pesticide residue within typical American diet originates from dairy products, fish and meat . Dairy products are associated with steroids as well as hormones, while fish tend to have carcinogen (DDT, PCBs) including heavy metals such as arsenic, mercury, cadmium and lead. These materials cannot be removed even through freezing or cooking. Consuming lots of vegetables shows that the body will be having much fiber; the fiber helps in pushing out waste from the body. On the other hand meat do not contain fiber and it can be realized that people who eat lower in the food chain will always have fewer cases of hemorrhoids and constipation.

VEGAN & VEGETARIANISM Veganism & Vegetarianism Many people associate vegetarianism or veganism with being healthy. Indeed, many of the people that engage in either lifestyle cite better health as being a primary reason for their choice. However, there is the open question as to whether a vegan or vegetarian diet is better than other diets that include one or more types of meat. This report aims to find out by studying those
Omnivore's Dilemma In Michael Pollan's book he touches on many issues relative to what humans eat, and in the process he spends time covering the poor eating habits of Americans and the likely reasons for the obesity crisis in the United States (think carbohydrates). His narrative includes animal flesh that is produced on so-called "factory farms" -- including pig meat he proudly kills himself -- and in doing so he
Vegetarianism is not a new aspect in modern society. People have been practicing vegetarianism for a long time, and it has its health benefits (Ruby, 2012). There are several grounds why a person would opt for a vegan meal, which will be analyzed and discussed in the paper. It is not easy to understand vegetarians because there are some who will consume by-products of animals like milk, while other will
Vegetarianism: A Serious Issue Fraser's choice to become a vegetarian in college because she was "broke" and could not afford meat dishes and because it was a nice "identity" to construct for herself (an alternative to identifying as, say, a "lesbian," as she notes) undermines the actuality of vegetarianism and reduces the lifestyle choice to that of superfluity. Singer's philosophy of vegetarianism, on the other hand, is substantial, consistent, ideologically-rooted, and
Factory Farming, Morality, And Vegetarianism Among the shocking facts linked to the issue of factory farming -- in addition to the appalling practice of cattle jammed into feed lots "…shoulder to shoulder knee deep in their own excrement" -- is that every second of every day an estimated 650 animals are slaughtered (Henning, 2011). Moreover, Henning reports that more than 56 billion animals are slaughtered annually and while this global blood-letting
Is Ahimsa workable? The author on the one hand says that the Jains are ideal in respecting the sacredness of life but one the other hand they are too impractical. Even Gandhi himself claimed to follow ahimas yet he had to allow use of DDT to kill mosquitoes. Thus, the idea of ahimas is impractical for protecting lower species because they often kill too many people. Thus the workability of an
