Argumentative essay on why Vegan is Better

Studies have revealed that the most used American diet, focusing on majorly meat products and little on plant foods has negative impacts on health. A vegan diet is better compared to the American diet. As at 2008, approximately 0. 5% of the people in the United States of America were vegans. Opting to take a vegan diet is not only good for the human health, but it is also good to the animals and the environment. A large percentage of agricultural supplies, water supplies and grains are being used in the production of animal products and meat. The world is thus running short of resources and this includes water and land. This shortage is caused by the increased use of animal products. Human beings are using a lot of resources in feeding animals that end up being slaughtered for meat.

Research has proven that the adoption of a vegan diet is the only way to increase the amount of water that is available for food production in the climatic erratic areas. Humans are just animals with the ability to speak and they should therefore respect the rights of other animals. The meat producers kill the disabled, old and new born cows since they believe they would be useful in any way but when it comes to human beings, we do respect the lives of the disabled people. The health risks and social inconveniences that are faced by the vegans do outweigh the advantages associated with veganism. The vegan diet is found to lack sufficient minerals and vitamins which are required for the proper functioning of the human body.
