Switching over from a meat and dairy diet to a vegan one can help lower the risk of developing these conditions and diseases. Moving on to our environment, factory farming is causing our pollution and climate to increase dramatically. Water and land wastage as well as the degradation of our ecosystem are just some of the other issues we are dealing with due to animal agriculture. The air is being polluted with ammonia from decaying manure, which can get inside our lungs causing fluid to build up leading to lung damage(Vinding,24).

...GENERAL PAPERS 1 VEGETARIAN DIET IN CHILDREN Dana-Teodora Anton-Paduraru1, Carmen Oltean2, Laura Mihaela Trandafir1, Amalia Maria Mineata3 1 3-rd Clinic of Pediatrics, ”Gr. T. Popa” University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Iasi 2 Children’s Emergency Hospital “Sf. Maria”, Iasi 3 Hiperclinica Medlife, Iasi ABSTRACT Vegetarianism may have implications on the growth of children and adolescents. There are different types of vegetarian diets: some may be suitable for children, other deficient in essential nutrients. If a vegetarian diet is done properly and includes fortified foods it can promote health and reduce risk for major chronic diseases. Restriction or exclusion of products of animal nature can lead to low intake of essential nutrients. Keywords: vegetarianism, child Childhood is the period when nutritional habits are acquired, when growth is intense and when deposits of essential nutrients are stored. According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, vegetarianism is defined by “the consumption of a diet that contains vegetables, fruits, nuts, cereals and sometimes eggs and dairy products” (1). Vegetarianism may have severe implications on the growth of children and adolescents, therefore it is necessary to assess the nutritional status of vegetarians to insure optimum growth and a good health state and to prevent potential deficits. There are different types of vegetarians (1) – Table 1. Each of these diets has implications on the nutrition and health...

...nineteen year old college student on a track scholarship. She currently is working hard towards making the U.S. Olympic team. Amy is a vegan and weighs only one-hundred and fifteen pounds. Her coach is worried that she is not consuming enough protein in order to maintain her muscle mass. As an athlete, it is important to be consuming enough protein. If dietary protein needs are not met, strength of the body will decline and the athlete may experience lower energy levels. The first thing that needs to be discussed is how much protein Amy should be consuming on a daily basis. Depending on the activity level of the woman is part of determining the protein amount. A women who is sedentary would determine protein intake by taking her weight in pounds X .4. An active woman would determine protein intake by taking her weight in pounds X .6, a competitive athlete would take weight in pounds X .75, and a light body-builder would take her weight in pounds X .85, (“How Much Protein Do Women Need?”). A women who is of the same weight and age as Amy but is sedentary would consume less amount of protein throughout her daily diet. Amy, however, would fall under a competitive athlete category.

...Ten reasons why going vegan is good for the environment involves a basic respect for animals, a fundamental point of view that protects animals from being exploited by mankind. Vegans choose not to consume animal products - cattle, pigs, all birds raised for human consumption, hens for egg-laying, feeder and dairy cattle. Vegans choose rather to eat natural products that don't involve the killing of animals and therefore live a more compassionate life. 1. Going vegan prevents the exploitation of all animals The exploitation of animals is not only cruel but inhumane. Living in cramped conditions and many times standing in their own feces, animals being raised for conventional slaughter can develop resistant strains of e-coli which is passed...

...Did you know that raising cows and other animals are destroying the ecosystem? Me neither , until i watched the movie “ Cowspiracy “. Cowspiracy taught viewers that animal agriculture is the leading cause of species extinction, ocean dead zones, water pollution, and habitat destruction. All of which are destroying our ecosystem. Animal agriculture contributes to species extinction in many ways. In addition to the monumental habitat destruction caused by clearing forests and converting land to grow feed crops and for animal grazing, predators and "competition" species are frequently targeted and hunted because of a perceived threat to livestock profits. The widespread use of pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilizers used in the production of feed crops often interferes with the reproductive systems of animals and poison waterways. The overexploitation of wild species through commercial fishing, bushmeat trade as well as animal agriculture’s impact on climate change, all contribute to global depletion of species and resources....

...For example, “Most grains contain all nine essential amino acids, just in lower amount than an equivalent serving of animal foods. Hench, vegans need consume generous portions of plant protein (grains, beans, legumes, nuts, soy) to compensate for both the lower density of the protein and the fact that plant proteins are less bioavailable (because of their fiber content)”(Clark 147). It’s good to know that vegans are getting their protein needs through plant based foods because my thoughts of going vegan is losing muscle mass because of low protein intake and always eating a lot of plant foods to get the right amount of calories. In knowing this change the way how I feel about plant foods and how it don’t interfere with the ability to perform well in any physical...

...Tofurky 1. Mission Statement – Tofurky was created to provide “health and vitality” to people and the ecosystem of the founders home by making “delicious, nutritious, convenient and affordable” vegetarian and vegan food that are not only good for them but the environment. Also, by having their products non-GMO and certified organic. 2. Strategic Plan – By produces products in small amounts at a time and only using all natural, organic ingredients, Tofurky is able to make sure that every product they put out will only offer their customers the highest quality, vegan and kosher food products out there. 3. Strength and Weaknesses – Tofurky is known for having some of the most delicious substitutes for vegetarians/vegan. Not only are they known for flavor, but for being organic and all natural. I have personally had these and don’t think anything could be better. Their prices are very affordable and unlike some organic food products you get the best at an affordable price. However, they do not have a lot of options. If they increased their variety of products, maybe adding a dairy-free/vegan cheese line, they could bring in more products. Another thing that doesn’t help them is having some products only seasonal. They have a vegan “turkey” during Christmas, which is exceptional, however, once the holidays are gone it is very difficult to...
