VEGAN

I understand that this topic isn’t exactly the most controversial in the grand scheme of things. And it was possible for me to write something more “important” for example abortion or legalizing marijuana. My topic is that living the vegan/vegetarian lifestyle has, but not limited to, 2 examples of positive effects, which are health benefits and positive impact on pollution.

Many people believe that the terms vegan and vegetarian are interchangeable. Just to make things clear a vegetarian is a person who does not eat or does not believe in eating meat, fish, bird, or, in some cases, any food originally from animals (ex: eggs or cheese) but eats only [|vegetables], fruits, nuts, grain, etc. Vegans are vegetarians who omit all animal products from the diet and lifestyle. An example would be that vegans don’t wear wool, leather, or silk. And also will not use products that have been tested on animals (like shampoo). So basically vegans are extreme vegetarians.

Sources state that many vegetarians/vegans choose this lifestyle to boycott specific farming techniques due to the overdose of pesticide spraying and chemical/animal waste runoff into the streams. While others change because they wish to make a more peaceful way of life. Ether way being vegan does have positive effects on the environment. For example a field if having cattle for more than 2 years will not be suitable for farmland. While farm land if used correctly and rotates crops to keep needed ground nutrients can be used for any length of time.

Than again many vegans chose this lifestyle because they wanted to be “balanced”, or in most cases people wanted to be healthier. Unknown to many the benefits to being vegan go on and on. It is said to keep u at a healthy weight, ward off disease, and give you more energy. Many posts on Gentleworld.org have gone, as far as saying they have never felt bettering their life. Also many people wish to feed as many people as possible to prevent famine. Edible plants (vegetables, fruits, grains, ect) have been found to provide the most nutrients needed by the body than cattle in a smaller mount of space.
