Meat eaters vs. Vegetarians If you have to choose between meat eaters and vegetarians, which side would you select? Personally we understand that vegetarian’s people eat healthier than the meat eaters but even doe, we consider our self meat eaters. Meat eaters and vegetarians are extremely different in terms of flavor and health. We are meat eaters because of its taste and flavors. Meats have more flavors than vegetables; this is because meats contains juices and are cook with different spices that have strong flavors. Some of these flavors are parsley, basil, garlic, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce etc. We are not telling that vegetarians don’t eat flavored food but the reality is that meat has lots of more flavors. In terms of taste, it depends on each people for example; vegetarians will say that their food taste better and the same with the meat eaters. But we look for information from the experts and Dr. Robert Madda in his internet page title “Meat & Vegetables on the HCG Diet” certifies that our statement it’s true, meat has more flavors and taste better. The vegetarians eat healthier because of meat having saturated fat and high cholesterol. Meat eaters have more risk of having diseases and health problems such as heart attack or stroke from the vegetarians. Some studies show that vegetarians have less opportunities of having cancer. Meat can stay in your body up to 7 years and vegetable can be easy eliminated from the body. Some vegetarians are vegetarians because they are animal activist. Animal activist are those people that have compassion and want to end the mistreating and the cruelty of the animals. Some meats are not healthy because some suppliers inject chemicals and preservative so it could last

    Health concerns or religious reasons guide some people to this belief. I respect everyone reasons, but I don’t agree with this one. Fraser stated “There’s a lot of evidence that vegetarians live longer, have lower cholesterol levels and have a slim chance of obesity and heart rate disease.” (Fraser, 689). Vegan and vegetarians believe that meat is bad for humans, which is not true. Unprocessed meat is just as healthy as vegetables and fruits because it contains high quality of complete protein. Consuming protein from meat is important because it contains many nutrients and the amino acids we need that our body cannot…

    Even if a person does not want to give up meat entirely, they can cut back to eating a meat selection to once or twice a week. This would significantly decrease the effects on the environment and reduce the amount of animals that are used in food production. The numerous advantages of practicing a vegetarian diet is not only beneficial to the world around us, but it supports our biological requirements. Because vegetarians eat naturally processed plant based foods, they alleviate the guilt of eating living creates and worries of ingesting unnatural hormones.

    Vegetarian Vs Vegetarian

    • 639 Words
    • 3 Pages

    A very common misconception is the mislabeling and generalization of those considering themselves to be vegetarians. Vegetarian is used to describe people who exclude meat, poultry, fish, or any other animal derived food from their diet. However, within the generalized term "vegetarian" come numerous different forms of the lifestyle, each classified based on the degree to which animal products are excluded from their diet and the reasoning such as ethical, religious, health. The different groups of vegetarianism fall along an imaginary spectrum, with semi-vegetarians, who are often excluded entirely due to behaviors conflicting with the practice, on one end of the spectrum and at the opposite end are vegans, the strictest of vegetarianism. The semi vegetarians, or those who exclude animal products from their lifestyle to some degree, are often banished by true vegetarians. This is partially due to the fact that semi vegetarians consume some sort of animal products, thereby contradicting the definition of the term. However, semi vegetarians' motivations are highly different. Some are obligated by religious beliefs to refrain from eating particular types of meats. Others follow the lifestyle for health concerns; say perhaps a person chooses to not eat red-meat because of cholesterol problems. Another possible motivation would be pure personal preference. Even though semi vegetarians fall short, they still obtain some of the positive health benefits that vegetarianism brings. Although meat is both healthy and harmful to your body it has its own…

    There has always been a battle between meat eaters and vegetarians. There is so much controversy regarding what the human race should or should not be putting in their bodies. Vegetarians often try to convert the meat eaters with their bias information and vice versa. The truth is, no one should be worried about what the other person is eating. Unless that person is responsible for providing the food, he or she should not worry about what the other person is consuming. What another decides to put in their body will in not affect some else’s body. Which is why everyone should learn the truth about both diets and decide which is better for them.…

    There is no longer a need for humans to consume meat. With the decline of nutritional value in meat and rise of healthier vegetarian alternatives, consumption of meat is now purely for gustatory pleasure. By eating meat, the consumer is contributing to the slaughter of animal for pleasure opposed to survival. Eating meat with the intent of survival is morally acceptable, while contributing to the torture or killing of animals for personal pleasure is morally impermissible. Therefore, it is immoral to eat meat if healthier vegetarian options are accessible.…

    Another reason one might not become a vegetarian is simply because of the taste. Most people would miss the taste of meat too much. Former vegetarian, Laura Fraser, points out that most vegetarians live in America and England, where the food is not the main tourist attraction (Fraser). Most Americans are raised consuming meat and other animal products, so they are used to the taste, texture, and digestion. Another argument is that meat is our main source of protein.…
