Question

IiiiiiPLEASE HELP!!!!!

Worldwide, about twice as many people eat a plant-based diet as eat a meat-based diet. A plant-based diet requires fewer resources to produce. It takes 28 calories of fossil-fuel energy to produce 1 calorie of protein from meat. In contrast, it takes only 3.3 calories of fossil-fuel energy to produce 1 calorie of protein from grain. With the population continuing to increase, some people believe it may be necessary to give up meat-based diets to ensure that there are enough resources to produce food for all people.



Do you think that a plant-based or a meat-based diet is more nutritious, or are they both equally nutritious? Why does a plant-based diet require fewer resources to produce? Do you think people should eat less meat? Why or why not

Answer 1

I think that both diets are equally nutritious, but I also think that people should eat less meat. I think that a plant based diet does require fewer resources, and It also requires more fossil-fuel energy to create one calorie of protein from meat then it does to create one calorie of protein from grain. If we switch to plant based diets, we could conserve resources, which might be good since the population is going up and resources are declining.

Answer 2

A plant based diet is clearly more nutritious. In fact, all protein orginates in plants. This is because it does not contain cholestrol, has very little amounts of fat, and is the only source of fiber. The science also bears this out. A plant based diet requires less recourses because it does not require the feeing of animals. The grain, fruit, vegtables, etc. goes directly to huaman, rather than being given to a imprisoned animals first. People should not only eat less meat, the should eat no meat. This is due to the three pillars of veganism. Ethics, envirnonment, and health. It is unethical to keep a animal in a cage it's short life and murder it. It is not envronmentally safe to raise trillions of animals a year all of whom produce methane, which is 16x more potent than CO2. And for health. It is increadable unhealthy to eat animal products. T. Colin Campbell has found a connection between cancer and dairy. Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn has found a undeinable link to heart disease. There are may more connections like this, which are very clear in their message: Humans can not handle the saturated fat, HEME iron, cholestrol, sugars, inflammatory substances, and everything else that comes with eating animals. Humans basic biology says we should not eat meat. We cannot murder animals with the tools that nature gave us.
