•Im writing a persuasive speech about why you should be a vegetarian. Im writing about the cruelty, health benefits, environmental benefits, and so on.
•It is normal and healthy for people to eat meat.
•Really hit hard of the Health Benefits.

•A vegetarian a risk of heart attack is only 15% while a non vegetarians is 50% plus depending on how much red and white meat you consume on average.

•Now, I'll admit not all slaughter houses are as inhuman as I've made them out to be but still, there are some that are like this and some are even worse. So for the places like this, ask yourself: 'Would you want to work on a factory farm, searing the beaks off of chickens or castrating pigs and cows without painkillers, and so on.' 'Would you want to work on a factory fishing trawler?' 'Are other areas of your life where you participate in practices that would repulse you if you had to watch them happening.' You know, most of us could watch grains being tilled or even spend an afternoon shucking corn or picking beans, fruits, or vegetables. Seriously, how many of us would want to spend an afternoon slitting open animals’ throats?"

•1976 McGovern's Congressional Committee Report to the Congress on Dietary Goals for the United States demonstrated that America’s health was being impacted by our diet. They said that the 8 of the 10 most devastating diseases causing the highest rate of death in this country are directly due to the eating of too much flesh foods, too much fat, and too much refined flours and sugars. There was an immediate and forceful reaction by the meat and poultry, grain and sugar industries which demanded a retraction. They got a minimal watering down of the language but the committee did not back down. Prior to this committee’s work the only nutritional information on any package of food was on animal feed. This committee’s work has had a tremendous impact on the food industry in the sense that it has raised the nation’s awareness of the importance of nutrition – even if the public doesn’t elect to use that information or use it well.
By the way that was 1976 before the aggressive corporate take over of the Governmental Watch Dog Agencies: FDA, USDA, etc. Take a look at this review of Andrew Kimbrell’s important book Your Right to Know

•"Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet."

If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be a vegetarian.

We all love animals. Why do we call some "pets" and others "dinner?"
