There has always been a battle between meat eaters and vegetarians. There is so much controversy regarding what the human race should or should not be putting in their bodies. Vegetarians often try to convert the meat eaters with their bias information, and vice versa. The truth is, no one should be worried about what the other person is eating. What another person decides to put in their body will in not affect some else’s body. What a person chooses to eat is not the sole cause of environment and animal problems. Which is why everyone should learn the truth about both diets and decide which is better for them. Vegetarians are the groups who seem to be more opinionated about the two vastly different types of diets. Joseph Pace’s article “Let’s Go Veggie” is a great example of an author using bias information to persuade the reader to become a vegetarian. Pace’s overall argument is that not eating meat will improve a person’s health, animal treatment, and the environment Pace demonstrates all his claims in a cause and effect form backed by many studies. A chain of events has been created and he believes the source of that chain is eating meat. Pace also uses his personal experience of visiting the modernized farms to gain sympathy from the …show more content…

Vegetarians aren 't the only ones who push their beliefs onto other people. Meat eaters do it too; although, they are not a persuasive and aggressive. The 1998 “Where’s The Beef?”article by Alan Herscovici takes a lighter approach to show audiences eating meat is not as harmful as it is perceived. Herscovici main argument is that eating meat is more beneficial than harmful. He starts and ends the article as if he were telling a story at a family barbeque, and carries that humor throughout the article. For his claims, he takes something that is not true about animal agriculture and consumption and explains why it is false. He also introduces some claims that often get left out in pro vegetarian

Growing up with a pescetarian mother (eating no meat other than fish) and omnivore father has not been the easiest of tasks. My mother likes to think she is holier-than-thou because of her diet, while my father just sits and laughs in the corner while eating a stack of ribs. When I read Alan Richmands excerpt “Fork It Over: My Beef with Vegans” I identified with his experiences with vegans because they were what I had experienced with my pescetarian mother over the years. Despite non meat eaters trying to convert meat eaters through persistent ranting, describing in great detail how the animals are raised and slaughtered (guilt tripping), and by trying to demonstrate that food made without animal products can taste just as good as those made with animal products a person can still make the decision to eat meat and enjoy it.

Is eating meat a detrimental threat to the environment? This debate over meat’s involvement in the global warming crisis was what inspired Nicolette Hahn Niman to write, “The Carnivore’s Dilemma.” Niman hoped writing, “The Carnivore’s Dilemma,” would cause her audience to understand that eating meat, raised on traditional farms, was a superior alternative to vegetarianism. Niman supported her claim by explaining how industrialized farms and vegetarians produce more of the three greenhouse gases that caused global warming, than that produced by traditional farms. Niman’s article fell short of being effective due to flaws in her supporting evidence and conclusion.

I did not understand the solution to the problem of being a “conscientious meat eater.” The authors never really stated or concluded an answer to the problem in the article. In the text it says “For many people who care about the environment and animal welfare, choosing to eat humanely raised meat seems like an option.” This argues that only an option to the solution is informed to the reader, and that there is no real solution to the problem at hand. The whole point of the article, “Is It Possible to be a Conscientious Meat Eater”, is to inform the reader about the issue about meat, but because there is no solution to his argument; it makes his argument less effect as a whole when persuading

These days with social media, and other rising technological advances, one might find it impossible to resist the urge to want to protest and debate with all the issues going on in the world today. It sounds easy enough to post your side of an argument on anything someone shares but going about it affectively to really get the opposing side to agree with you is something else entirely. By using the Social Judgment Theory, and understanding one’s ego involvement with an issue, people might just be able to figure out the “Art of Persuasion”. Social Judgement Theory is a “Self-persuasion theory proposed by Carolyn Sherif, Muzafer Sherif, and Carl Hovland” (Daniel O’ Keefe, 2016). It is defined as “The perception and evaluation of an idea by comparing
