Meat, dairy, and eggs should be banned worldwide.

"Meat- Banning meat will result in the fact that people will end up not getting enough proteins, and because of this, our cells wouldn't be able to repair themselves, and we wouldn't be able to grow" Con There is logic to this statement. If protein deficient then adverse health affects will result. Yet, Con fails to prove how much proteins humans need. Next, Con assumes that a vegan diet will result in protein deficiency. Pro will now prove how much protein humans need and prove that a vegan diet could have enough protein. Claim 1: Humans need about 10% calories from protein. Warrant 1:" If we do a few calculations we see that the protein recommendation for vegans amounts to close to 10% of calories coming from protein." [2]. Impact 1: A vegan diet is capable of supplying enough protein. On a vegan, vegetarian, or omnivore its possible to be protein deficient, just as its possible on the same diets to be nutritionally balanced. Vegans are more likely to be protein deficient but this is only due to ignorance. A few naive vegans should not ruin an entire lifestyle for millions of people. Claim 2: Million of people are vegan. Warrant 2: "About 2% to 3% of the population in the world is vegan. Since there are around 6.7 billion people in the world, this means there are approximately 168 million vegans." [3]. "In 2009, the world population was 6.787 billion, meaning there were approximately 407,200,000 vegans in the world." [4]. Impact 2: If nutritional deficiency was such a problem, there wouldn't be millions of vegans in the world. Claim 3: There are many vegan celebrities. Warrant 3: [5] and "Al Gore goes vegan, with little fanfare" [6]. Impact 3: Celebrities by their very nature must be good looking and healthy. If nutritional deficiency were such a problem these celebrities wouldn't be vegan. Claim 4: At least one vegan food contains 10% or more calories from protein. Warrant 4: Soy milk contains 24% protein [7]. Impact 4: Further proves vegans can receive enough protein. The negative impact on health of over nutrition of fat, saturated fats, and cholesterol are well known, thus animal products are unhealthy. Not well known is that animal protein increases IGF-1, insulin like growth factor one, production via the liver. Elevated serum IGF-1 levels increase risk for cancer. [8]. Therefore, consuming animal proteins increases risk for cancer. Claim 5: Animal products take at least twice as much grain per pound as opposed to straight grain. Warrant 5: "Meat is less efficient because we eat the animal that eats the grain instead of eating the grain ourselves." [9]. Impact 5: Meat is less efficient thus causing excess environmental damage and world hunger. Vegan diets can help mitigate both world hunger and environmental harm. Summary In summary Pro has forcefully disproved Con's notion. In the same round Pro has shown the benefits of a vegan diet while condemning the consumption of animal products with proof. Vote Pro.
