    This article is about how many people are now vegan or vegetarian. It has become very prevalent in the US. Some do it for health reasons while others are vegan because they do not believe in the harming of animals in any way.

    I've noticed over the last few years veganism has become increasingly popular. Many of my friends and family members have either tried veganism, wanted to try veganism, or succeeded in becoming vegans! Some have done it to lead a healthier lifestyle, but most of them started after learning about the treatment of the animals raised to be eaten and milked. I've considered vegetarianism in the past but have yet to maintain the willpower necessary to stop eating meat.

    I do support what they are doing but some people would have a hard time converting because all of the stuff they eat is meat. I know that they have synthetic meat but I don't know if they would think its the same. there are some stuff I refuse to eat for this reason which is turkey. It may make Thanksgiving difficult for those people but they can still be thankful for their family and friends.

    The article talks about a book on how animals should have rights as in equal consideration. Animals have the ability to suffer as well as a human being. Why should or should not animals have rights?

    Good points. Are you vegan or vegetarian? Most animals have the ability to feel pain. Adolf Hitler stated that prey species such as deer, elk, gazelle, antelopes, etc. are healthier and can run for longer periods of time and promoted healthy eating (though he was a hippocrate and ate meat himself). When people eat meat they get tired easier, need more water, and have less energy. Without a moral foundation one can justify almost anything. Do you think Christian doctrine is to blame? After all, God told Peter to eat meat. Maybe it was the best choice in order to make peace with the gentiles and not eating meet would have made Peter look aloof. Then again, in Genesis it states that God gave mankind plants to eat and not meat. From a convenient point of view is it practical to only buy products that are not made from animals? Even makeup has animal products in it. What about shoes, clothes, purses, etc? Also, if you have time, I would suggest researching Ralph Smart. Have a good day.

    I enjoyed reading this article as well. Animals have very similar traits as humans. They eat, feel, and suffer just as humans do. Why should we strict them of their rights? Just because they do not have a voice to defend themselves does not mean we should ignore the equality they deserve.

    I loved this! Animals have such a huge place in my heart and definitely deserve all the rights as us humans do. I hate hearing stories or seeing videos posted on Facebook of animals being neglected.. I don't understand how some people can do such a thing to an animal who cannot even defend themselves. They just want to be loved and nurtured.

    The article made some great points. Animals do suffer. They feel pain and fear. Because of this, they definitely should be given rights. Like the article stated, I grew up eating meat, but have made the transition into vegetarianism thanks to my wife who is a vegan. All it took was for me to be educated on where our meat is coming from and the conditions of the animals being slaughtered. If people could read these types of articles and watch documentaries like "Earthlings" and "Cowspiracy" I am sure they might also consider vegetarianism or veganism.

    This article summarizes the effect the meat, egg and dairy industry has on the emission of greenhouse gases. Everything that goes into these industries like feeding and watering cattle, killing them, the manure, and the deforestation involved in expanding the industry is slowly destroying the environment. Throughout the article it proves how vegans and vegetarians significantly reduce the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

    I enjoyed reading this article because it was very informative. Not only did the article provide statistics in regards to how much water we need for our everyday food intake but it also allows the reader to understand how much money is put into making that food for us to eat. It focuses on the fact that switching to a vegan like or vegetarian diet worldwide would be significantly beneficial to our growing population.

    This article had interesting but scary statistics. Especially the statistic on how much water it takes to produce certain food items. I never realized just how much water society uses to function. In addition, humans are reaching the carrying capacity of the world far too fast. The author makes good suggestions for how to fix this issue. The solutions are not only answering the problem of a food shortage but also climate change.

    This was honestly eye opening seeing how much water is used everyday for even the most simplest of things. Reading about how much water it takes to produce food and how much of ends up being wasted in alarming. I recommend this article for anyone who has a topic that relates to this social issues at it provided in depth details on the matter. It's crazy knowing how much water we use daily without knowing how valuable it is, especially now.

    The article is so true about water scarcity being our demise, it will be such an catastrophe for the food crisis to strike especially in Arizona. The drought plays a huge part in supporting water scarcity, it dries out our lands and empties out the rivers. There are some good solutions to how to resist against climate change.
