First, you already used the Writing Assignment 3 Template (WA3) to develop your ideas for this Toulmin Argument Method Essay. I have copied the instructions from the template below for your reference. These are the same instructions, so please do not panic or think that you have to complete another form. This is the culmination of your third writing assignment. If you were not able to complete the first part, Module 3.17: Writing Assignment 3, then you need to ensure that you complete that part first in order to correctly submit your final draft of this assignment.

Now, you will upload the Final Draft of your argument essay on this Canvas assignment page. For this essay, you will write at least 4.5 full pages minimum, focused on the themes of food consumption awareness, animal rights, pandemics, immigrant rights, human rights, the impacts of culture on our diet (e.g. Is Thanksgiving “Thanksgiving” without a turkey?”), the consequences of our diet on the environment, and the effects of diet on our health based on the stories and information presented in Eating Animals and other sources.
Answer the prompt:
In the novel, Eating Animals, you learned a lot about the different issues we face when meat and other animal products are introduced in our daily diet. In an interview, the author said, “If we all ate one less meal with meat, it would equate to removing 5 million polluting cars from the roads.”
For this next essay, make an argument in favor or against the idea of living as a vegetarian or switching to a vegetarian diet using the Rogerian style of argumentation.
Your goal for this assignment is to convince the reader of your point of view regarding this very important matter in our society.
