Eggert, Persuasive speech Gabrielle Eggert Persuasive Speech Why You Should Become a Vegetarian. Outline INTRO: Do you want to be healthier? Do you want to feel better about the food that goes into your body? Do you have a love for animals and the environment? If the answer to all of these questions was yes, then the solution is, become a vegetarian. I have been a vegetarian for 2.5 years now, and I can say it is the best choice I’ve ever made for myself. 1. Vegetarianism has been around forever. In the Victorian period, these ideas were given both a scientific and a spiritual connotation, linking vegetarianism with the health of both body and spirit according to Nick Fox in the article, “You are what you eat?” 2. According to Nick Fox and Katie Ward in their study, “Health, ethics, and the environment- A qualitative study of vegetarian motivations” Concern for health and concern for animals are by far the two main motivations people have for eating vegetarian. 1ST POINT (Need): One of the many reasons people become a vegetarian is for ample health benefits. In order to live a long and happy life, you need to be healthy. 1. According to Vanessa Ha and Russel Souza in the article “Fleshing out” the overall dietary pattern of self-defined “vegetarians“ compared to non-vegetarians were generally found to be healthier. 2. They found that meat consumption has a high content of cholesterol and saturated fatty acids, both of which have been shown to be positively associated with risk of coronary heart disease. 3. Overall, producing meat requires dramatically more land and water than growing plant-based foods does. Stated by Fox and Ward. Basically, If you want to keep our planet healthy so we can keep existing on it, we need to start changing our lifestyles. CONCLUSION: In conclusion, becoming a vegetarian may not be for everybody, but it has so many benefits, it's hard to find a reason not to do it. Your body, mind, environment, and your overall lifestyle will benefit. If you’re wondering how you can make this switch, no worries, I’m about to explain. 1. (Satisfaction): If you're worried about not having enough to eat, Science Magazine says it is possible to obtain a sufficient intake of these nutrients without eating meat because it is available in a variety of other foods. If you’re thinking, “I don’t know how to cook those foods, there’s no way I could eat enough.” Well, there are a total of 90 vegan and vegetarian restaurants just in Kalamazoo. So you can always find something to eat. 2. (Visualization): Making the Switch to a vegetarian diet will completely change your life. In the study “You are what you eat?” by Fox and Ward, respondents described vegetarianism as not only a diet but also a way to confirm personal commitments or the validity of a broader lifestyle. 3. (Action): It is so much easier than you think to adopt this diet. The sooner you do, the sooner you can feel better about yourself, save 28 farm animals, and help the environment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_mDDdp8d-c References Fox, N., & Ward, K. (2008).
