Meat, dairy, and eggs should be banned worldwide.

Hello once again, audience, judges. I am Forever 23 and I am going to bring forth the premise which is that meat, dairy and eggs should be banned world wide. So let me begin with some counter-counter rebuttles. To refute my point about the proteins, they stated that meat causes overeating. However, it is not about what you eat. Its about how much you eat. If someone stuffed themselves full with vegetables, they would gain a lot of weight. http://www.everydayhealth.com... In the study, a team of researchers at Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, La., randomly assigned several hundred overweight people to one of four diet combinations: low fat and higher carb; high protein with low fat and higher carbs; high fat and lower carbs; or high protein, high fat, and lower carbs. Each participant’s plan was designed to cut 750 calories a day from their current diet. After six months and again after two years, researchers gauged participant’s weight, fat mass, and lean mass. Across the board, the strongest predictor for weight loss was not the makeup of any particular diet, but rather how stringent the participants were in sticking to the reduced-calorie plan. Researchers concluded that the findings show that dieters should choose restricted-calorie plans that work for them, and not base their diet plans off of a particular fad (e.g. a low-carb diet isn’t the best plan for someone with a sweet tooth). This study mirrors the results of more recent results from the Pennington Biomedical Research Center, which found that extra calories and low protein are the two largest culprits that lead to weight gain. Published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, researchers in this study concluded that the extra calories lead to weight gain, while the low protein levels caused participants to gain fat and lose muscle mass over time. Their second counter rebuttle was that vegetables have a lot of proteins to. However, proteins are not the only minerals needed for a healthy diet. Let me state a fact about what the vegan diet will lack: Because B12 is critical for life and isn’t found in any amount in plants (except some types of algae), it is by far the most important nutrient that vegans must be concerned with. In fact, B12 deficiency is very common in vegans, one study showing that a whopping 92% of vegans are deficient in this critical nutrient. But B12 is just the tip of the iceberg… there are other lesser known nutrients that are only found in animal foods and are critical for optimal function of the body. Here are a few examples: Animal protein contains all the essential amino acids in the right ratios. It is important for muscle mass and bone health, to name a few. Vegans don’t get any animal protein, which can have negative effects on body composition. Creatine helps form an energy reservoir in cells. Studies show that vegetarians are deficient in creatine, which has harmful effects on muscle and brain function. Carnosine is protective against various degenerative processes in the body and may protect against aging. It is found only in animal foods. The pro refused to compromise by saying that the killing of animals itself is cruel. However, the plant growing that they sugget is also cruel. I quote from http://besynchro.com... To start with, many of the foods that vegans eat a lot of have major negative ecological impact (think soy and grains). Beyond that, even the saving animal lives argument doesn't stand up to scrutiny. The reality is, any time you eat a food that is farmed on a large scale, you are complicit in a huge number of animal deaths that happen during the harvesting process. The industry refers to these as "tractor kills" and the animals are typically rodents and other small creatures. On the other hand, if you ate local grass-fed, grass-finished beef every day for a year, you'd be responsible for killing about 2/3 of an animal. Kind of makes you re-evaluate when you see how a vegan can be responsible for many more animal deaths over the course of a year than someone who eats beef every day, right? Therefore, its best to agree that eating meat will be okay. Unless we want to starve people for the complete welfare of animals. Theirlast counter rebuttle was that it will solve hunger partially. However, it will help hunger by 0%. World hunger is not caused by the lack of food. http://www.psrast.org..., Summary The food resources of the world are abundant rather than scarce according to Peter Rosset, director of Institute for Food and Development Policy in California. Even in countries with excess food production millions are starving. This is explained in detail in the recent book by Lappe, Frances Moore, Joseph Collins, and Peter Rosset; "World hunger: Twelve Myths", New York: Grove Press. Second Edition 1998. - The belief that world hunger can be solved by increasing food production is an unsubstantiated myth. It has lead to policies by international organs that have supported farming policies that in practice have boosted production of expensive export foods on the expense of production of basic foods for the population. The real problem is poverty. As the market responds to money and not to actual need, it can only work to eliminate hunger when purchasing power is widely dispersed according to Rosset. As the rural poor are increasingly pushed from land, they are less and less able to demand for food on the market. Promoting free trade to alleviate hunger has proven to be a failure. In most developing countries exports have boomed while hunger has continued unabated or actually worsened according to the book. Now onto my counter rebuttles. They refuted my point by saying that pro has alredy proved that meat, dairy and eggs are unhealthy. However, through extensive research, government agencies and nutrition programs have proved thet health benefits of meat eggs and dairy. If you look at my refutations and points, you can find multiple evidences. Next they pointed out how moral over power "the wallet". They do. Millions of people will lose jobs if we close down the farming industry. Millions will starve and live in poverty. Is that really what we want to do? Cause millions of farmers and their loving families to starve? Imagine, all over the world, the farming industry was closed down. Imagine, everybody, poor and alone crowded on the streets begging for money. That is clearly what pro wants. They refuted that by saying that this will not happen overnight. That was never my point. My point was that we are ominivores. And NO COUNTRY WILL AGREE TO TAKE MEAT OUT OF THE DIET. The also mentioned as refutation for my yogurt argument that yogurt good bacteria can be found everywhere. However, I figure it is needless to explain that yogurt has special becteria which can only be found in dairy. Now allow me to introduce the argument about the right to body. Everybody has the right to do whatever they want with their body and health. http://www.amnestyusa.org... We all have the right to make decisions about our own health, body, sexuality and reproductive life, without fear, coercion, violence or discrimination. But all over the world, people's freedom to make these decisions is controlled by the state, medical professionals, even their own families. Criminal law and punitive sanctions are frequently used to control such choices. In the end, many people are prevented from making any choice at all. Thank you. Vote opp
