Conclusion
I used AI to start with this:
In the modern world, the question of whether meat is an essential component of the human diet is a topic of increasing scrutiny, particularly from the perspective of vegetarians. As someone who has chosen to abstain from meat consumption, I have often pondered the necessity of including animal products in our meals. While meat has long been ingrained in cultural traditions and dietary habits, the notion of its indispensability is being challenged by a growing body of evidence and ethical considerations. Contrary to conventional wisdom, scientific research indicates that a well-balanced vegetarian or plant-based diet can provide all the necessary nutrients for human health. From protein and iron to essential vitamins and minerals, plant-based foods offer a diverse array of nutrients without the saturated fats and cholesterol found in animal products. Furthermore, concerns about the environmental impact of meat production, including deforestation, greenhouse gas emissions, and water usage, have prompted many individuals to reconsider their dietary choices. Additionally, the ethical implications of animal agriculture, including animal welfare and cruelty concerns, compel us to reevaluate the necessity of consuming meat. In this essay, I aim to explore the multifaceted dimensions of this debate, drawing from scientific research, ethical considerations, and personal experiences to critically examine the role of meat in the human diet from a vegetarian perspective. Through this exploration, I hope to shed light on the potential benefits of embracing plant-centric dietary choices for both human health and the planet.
Dont use AI though. Make sure the essay is 100% human writing. No AI dectection. Thank you.
The direct insturctions for the essay on Canvas are these:
Some suggestions:
What impact does one of your favorite foods have on the environment, health, and/or economy? For this, choose one you like, and eat often.
Some ideas you can include:
Where does it come from? The research part: where is it produced? What farms/factories were used to produce it? What resources took to grow/produce the ingredients?
How much water did it take? How much gas was needed to ship (think of each part of the transport)? How many people are involved in getting the food to you? Keep in mind that even if the producer does not have this information, you can find how much water, gas, etc. it takes through research…
What waste is produced from this item? Think about pre-during- and post production. Overall, what impact does it have on the environment, health, or economy? Is there a way to make it have less of an impact? If it is already low, what could other producers learn from it?
How much does it cost? What is the popularity, how fast does it sell?
Is it healthy? How and/or why?
The direction you take it is up to you. If you find the health impact more interesting, look into that. If you like money more, then look into that. If you want to go green, go that direction. If you want to do a bit of all three, or just two, go for it.
Use it as a guide but also include what I want above.
