In recent discussion of vegetarianism, a controversial issue has been whether we should eat meat or not. On one hand, some argue that eating meat is a part of life and the only way to live.

Brian Patton, author of “We Are Not Grizzly Bears” states “…transitioning to a vegan diet is [hard] work. Not because its unnatural, but because we’ve been taught differently our entire lives” (Source D). it is hard to stop old habits. How can you live one way every day of your life and one
