Veganism is
both the practice of abstaining from the use of animal products, particularly
in diet, and an associated philosophy that rejects the commodity status of
animals, the person who has this type of diet is named vegan. There are many
different opinions about veganism.
On the one
hand, people defend veganism. They say that this type of diet is very good for
our health since it is a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, they also
say that natural fruits or vegetables don't have additives that could produce
serious illness as cancer. I have read on the article that veganism can save
the planet because it reduces the consumption of meat, then, factories that
manufacture meat will reduce the gas emissions. Therefore, global warming and
other problems with the environment will be improved.
On the
other hand, there are people that are against that. One of the main reasons is
that vegans can't get all vitamins and proteins necessary for their health
without eating food of animal origin. Another problem about veganism is that
there are parents who force their children to eat this type of diet and it can
be bad for the health since they still aren't developed.
In my
opinion, each person should choose what type of diet he wants to eat without
been obligated. All of us are responsible for what we eat and the consequences
for our heath.
