Meat, dairy, and eggs should be banned worldwide.

So hello once again, dear audience, honorable judges, respected opponent. Once again, I am Forever 23 and I am bringing forth the premise which is that meat, dairy and cheese should not be banned worldwide. So let me start with refuting my opponents point on the gaining to much weight. First, let me repeat the argument that if you eat less of something, you will gain less weight. This is not calories gained, calories lost. This is eat less calories. Their refutation was completely irrelevant. Now I would just like to point out the celery argument. We NEED calories to survive. Eating 0 calories a day is not a healthy option. To add a little "spice" to my argumentation: It would be impossible to gain the required 2000 calories a day without meat. 100 grams of peas has only 81 calories. Meat, provides a nice amount- 213. Undernourishment can cause some very significant problems: Thank you . http://www.livestrong.com..., Heart Problems When someone restricts their caloric intake for an extended period of time, malnutrition can occur. People who have an eating disorder, such as anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa, are at risk for becoming malnourished. People who severely restrict their calories have slower metabolisms because their body goes into starvation mode and slows the body's functions to conserve energy. Frances Sizer and Eli Whitney write in "Nutrition and Concepts and Controversies" that people who are malnourished, the heart beats irregular or too quickly, the heart muscles can become thin and weak and the chambers of the heart decrease in size. As a result of malnutrition, heart attacks can occur. Digestive Problems When a person does not eat enough calories, the digestive tract can slow down to conserve energy. The digestive tract is responsible for breaking down food and drinks to the simplest form so that the body can use the nutrients to function. When a person isn't consuming enough calories, the stomach empties slower and the lining of the intestinal tract can shrink. When a person does eat, the digestive tract has been damaged so severely that it cannot properly digest food. The pancreas produces digestive enzymes more slowly and the person may experience diarrhea. Diarrhea only makes the problem worse by dehydrating the person and depleting essential vitamins and nutrients. Nutrient Deficiencies People who are restricting calories can develop nutrient deficiencies. Several deficiencies -- including iron, folate and vitamin B-12 deficiencies -- cause anemia, a disease that affects red blood cells. These cells are responsible for carrying oxygen to the organs and tissues of the body. An anemia associated with nutritional deficiencies can cause fatigue, shortness of breath, pale skin, irregular or fast heartbeat, dizziness, cognitive problems, cold hands and feet and headache. At first people who are anemic may not have any signs or symptoms, but as the condition goes untreated, signs and symptoms worsen and become noticeable. Nutritional deficiencies can also cause a range of other symptoms, including skin lesions, a lack of energy and diminished cognitive functioning. Unhealthy Weight Loss If you're restricting calories with the goal of losing weight, consuming far too few calories might sabotage your weight loss before it starts. Not only is severely restricting calories not sustainable -- you're bound to fall off the wagon and return to your old eating habits -- but it also causes your body to destroy muscle tissue. You should not lose more than two pounds a week during safe weight loss, explains West Virginia University. If you lose more than that, you're consuming too few calories. They have also stated that making meat is unhealthier for the environment. However, I would like to point out somethings that the prop should probably be worried with- too much maneur. Farms are dealing with this problem very well. They are packing maneur into large, cement containers which make sure that none of it gets into lakes. That is the solution. Now, onto their problem of pollution. In order to solve pollution, we could perhaps find ways to solve this problem. Getting rid of the problem is not right. Lets face the situation head- on. Other than grain production, lets focus on production of grasses for humans. . http://www.toxicsaction.org..., When Rachel Carson wrote Silent Spring in 1962, she raised public awareness about the effects of pesticide use on our health and our environment. However, almost forty years after Carson drew attention to the health and environmental impacts of DDT, use of equally hazardous pesticides has only increased. And all the time there is more evidence surfacing that human exposure to pesticides is linked to health problems. For example, in May 2010, scientists from the University of Montreal and Harvard University released a study that found that exposure to pesticide residues on vegetables and fruit may double a child’s risk of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), a condition that can cause inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity in children. Pesticides are not used so often on animal grain. Animals need food from a lower kind of standard and less pesticides are used. Next they mentioned how it is immoral and wrong. They went on about saving animal lives. But really, lets be honest, pro isn't focusing on human wellbeing. Humans need the animal industry. Not because of "the wallet", but because they need the animals industry to survive. Think jobs. Think how many hard working farmers will loose their job because of dairy, meat and eggs being banned. What pro wants is poverty. A vegetable only land is a dystopia. It will take good health and jobs from millions. Later on, they spoke about how there was land. But my argument had nothing to do with land. My argument was about the true roots of hunger. Which was poverty. There will never be FOOD FOR FREE. In order, to get food, you need money, And while no one has money, no one will have food. Vegetables only will not be the eradication of poverty. They refuted my right to body point by saying that the right to body applies only to people as long as their right to body does not harm anyone. There is a difference between drunk driving and this. Eating meat, dairy and eggs is not a detriment to others and to you. Drunk driving on the other hand, is. To quickly restate my own points.1. Meat, eggs and dairy are required to maintain a healthy diet. 2. Most of the population consumes these products.3. This plan is not feasible.4. Right to body.5. Will take jobs of millions. Now, I would like to point out the health benefits of eggs. . http://www.bbcgoodfood.com..., Eggs are a very good source of inexpensive, high quality protein. More than half the protein of an egg is found in the egg white along with vitamin B2 and lower amounts of fat and cholesterol than the yolk. The whites are rich sources of selenium, vitamin D, B6, B12 and minerals such as zinc, iron and copper. Egg yolks contain more calories and fat. They are the source of cholesterol, fat soluble vitamins A, D, E and K and lecithin - the compound that enables emulsification in recipes such as hollandaise or mayonnaise. Some brands of egg now contain omega-3 fatty acids, depending on what the chickens have been fed (always check the box). Eggs are regarded a 'complete' source of protein as they contain all eight essential amino acids; the ones we cannot synthesise in our bodies and must obtain from our diet. For years eggs have been considered more of a health risk than a healthy food. Since they are high in cholesterol, it was recommended that people with high cholesterol levels avoid eggs. But it turns out the cholesterol content for which they have been vilified is much lower than it was 10 years ago. This reduction has been attributed to the changes in hen feed since the BSE crisis in the 1990s. British research shows that a medium egg contains about 100mg of cholesterol, a third of the 300mg recommended daily limit. Also it is saturated fat in the diet, not dietary cholesterol that influences blood cholesterol levels the most.
