This document contains summaries of multiple articles related to veganism and its impacts. Some of the key points covered include:
- Animal agriculture is a major contributor to environmental problems like deforestation, pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Going vegan can significantly reduce an individual's environmental footprint.
- Animals raised for food endure stressful and inhumane conditions on factory farms. They are routinely subjected to painful procedures without painkillers.
- The number of vegans, especially young people, is rising in the UK and elsewhere due to health, environmental and animal welfare concerns. Social media has helped promote vegan lifestyles.
- Many cosmetics and household products are still tested on animals
This document provides information about veganism from multiple sources. It begins with definitions of veganism from vegan.org, vrg.org, and Wikipedia, noting they are generally consistent. It then includes a video definition and discusses the ethics of veganism, citing arguments for and against. Health aspects are covered through an article by Jamie Oliver and the Guardian discusses ethics more. Financial and clothing considerations are presented, and primary research was conducted among friends. The research found most people are not interested in veganism due to lack of discussion and appealing coverage. A mind map of ideas was created. Further research profiles Olympic sprinter Carl Lewis who improved performance on a vegan diet.
The document discusses animal cruelty and the research topic of ways that animals are abused for human advancement. It mentions forms of animal cruelty such as animal testing, factory farming, and zoos. It also lists groups fighting against different forms of animal cruelty and provides questions about issues like animal testing and alternatives. The author's viewpoint is expressed that it is wrong to harm animals for human profit or gain.
Vegans avoid eating meat, dairy products, eggs, and honey and wearing animal products like leather and fur. They do this to avoid harming animals and for health and environmental reasons. Being vegan has grown in popularity, especially among teenagers and young adults. Social media has helped spread awareness of veganism and provide support networks. While vegans avoid many foods, their diets incorporate plant-based options like vegetables, grains, nuts, and fruits to meet nutritional needs.
This document discusses the problem of animal experimentation and testing. It notes that millions of animals, including dogs, cats, primates, mice and rats, are injured or killed for scientific research each year. The author argues that this is wrong and advocates joining organizations like PETA that work to promote animal welfare and reduce the use of animals in testing. The document provides statistics on the number of different types of animals used in research and encourages readers to take care of their pets and support animal rights groups that oppose animal experimentation.
This document contains summaries of various webpages on the topics of veganism, animal welfare, and the environmental impacts of animal agriculture. The webpages were found on sites such as veganuary.com and covered interviews with celebrity vegans like Alec Baldwin and Ellen DeGeneres discussing their reasons for adopting a plant-based diet. Other pages provided information on issues like foie gras production and its effects on ducks and geese, as well as statistics on land and water usage and pollution tied to meat and dairy industries. The document appears to be research notes for a paper or project on the benefits of veganism.

It notes that millions of animals are killed each year for fur, leather, cosmetics testing, and food, and are often treated cruelly. Alternatives exist for many animal products but are not widely used. Animal agriculture is also environmentally damaging due to greenhouse gas emissions, water use, and pollution from the leather tanning process. Going vegan could help reduce this harm to animals and the planet.
Vegans avoid eating meat, dairy products, eggs, and other animal-derived substances. They seek to reduce animal cruelty and environmental damage from industrial animal agriculture. The number of vegans has grown significantly in recent years, especially among teenagers and young adults influenced by social media. A vegan diet focuses on plants such as vegetables, grains, beans, nuts, and fruits. While restricting certain foods, veganism can be nutritionally balanced and provide health benefits by reducing risks of diabetes, disease, obesity, and cancer. However, some animal products are still tested in cosmetics and clothing industries, prompting the vegan lifestyle.

This document analyzes two images from PETA campaigns that compare human treatment of animals to the Holocaust. Through a rhetorical analysis, it identifies how the images use techniques like symmetry, labeling, color, and lighting to draw the comparison. Figure 1 places images of caged chickens and men on shelves side by side, labeling people as Nazis. Figure 2 depicts a dog with a Hitler-style mustache above the text "Master Race", suggesting dog breeders create a superior breed like Nazis. Both images aim to portray humans as oppressing animals similarly to how Nazis oppressed Jews.
Veganism is a philosophy that seeks to exclude all forms of animal exploitation and cruelty as far as possible. It bans all animal products and activities that use animals. There are benefits to veganism including improved animal welfare, environmental protection, and human health. However, veganism also faces issues. Some vegans hold extremist views that oppose people who work with animals. Additionally, vegans must ensure they receive sufficient nutrition from fortified foods and supplements to avoid deficiencies, especially of vitamin B12. Proper planning is needed to be a healthy vegan.

(3rd) is being a vegan all about losing weightSophieBaker98
While being vegan can help with weight loss, that is not the primary motivation for most vegans. The main reason people choose a vegan diet is due to concerns about animal welfare and rights. Vegans object not just to the killing of animals for food but also to the poor conditions animals are often kept in for producing meat, eggs and dairy. They believe animals should not be exploited and confined for human use and that humans have a moral responsibility to treat animals with the same consideration given to people. Adopting a vegan lifestyle is about more than just diet - it reflects a commitment to animal ethics and freedom.
This document discusses various topics related to animal welfare, including how animals should be treated humanely. It covers issues like animal abuse, puppy mills, dog sled racing, rescue groups, humane societies, why people adopt pets, and solutions to reduce animal cruelty like fines and background checks for adopters. Reasons for organizations that help animals are also provided, such as lack of pet care and people not watching their pets.
The document discusses animal rights and the treatment of animals in various contexts such as zoos, farms, laboratories, and the work of PETA to promote ethical treatment. It notes that over 5 million animals are kept in zoos worldwide, while millions more are used for experimentation each year, including over 25 million mice, rats, fish and birds. PETA advocates for animal freedom and ethical treatment, focusing on issues like captive animals, laboratory testing, and celebrity supporters who help spread awareness of their cause.
Veganism is a philosophy that seeks to exclude all forms of animal exploitation and cruelty as far as possible. It promotes alternatives to using animals for food, clothing or other purposes. The key differences between vegetarianism and veganism are that vegetarians consume dairy and eggs while vegans consume no animal products. Some benefits of veganism include preventing animal suffering, reducing environmental impacts like deforestation, and potential health benefits. However, veganism also faces issues like the risk of nutritional deficiencies if not properly planned and the actions of extremist vegans who threaten violence.
Animal testing should be banned according to the document, as it discusses that about 2.8 million animals including monkeys, rabbits, cats, rats, and dogs are tested on each year. It encourages readers to not use products that test on animals and provides a list of companies that do and do not test on animals, directing readers to a website for more information on companies' testing policies.
This document discusses various forms of animal cruelty such as factory farming, puppy mills, abandonment of pets, hunting, animal fighting, fur farming, and circuses/aquariums. Factory farming is identified as the largest cause of animal cruelty, involving billions of animals being crammed into small spaces. Animal cruelty causes problems such as disease outbreaks, global warming, antibiotic resistance, water pollution, depletion of water resources, and loss of biodiversity. The document advocates for solutions like reducing meat consumption, educating others, and not wearing fur products which often involve inhumane practices in their production.
This document discusses the history and ongoing debate around animal testing. It began in ancient times but increased with more companies testing products in the late 19th century. While animal testing has contributed to medical advances like diabetes treatment, many view it as cruel and argue alternative test methods exist. The document outlines common animal testing practices and their impacts, as well as advocacy groups opposing animal testing and pushing for alternative approaches.
This document discusses animal welfare in farming and promotes more humane treatment of farm animals. It contains the following summaries:
1) There is a growing movement to reform farm animal welfare practices driven by increased consumer demand for more humane and transparent farming standards. Major companies are committing to higher welfare practices like cage-free eggs in response to this demand.
2) Experts discuss how improved transparency from companies and clearer labeling of animal product can help consumers make more informed choices to support humane farming practices. Certifications like Animal Welfare Approved provide assurances that animals were treated according to clear welfare standards.
3) Renowned expert Temple Grandin's work designing facilities to reduce farm animal stress and fear has greatly
A regular dieter considering becoming vegan may feel unsure about scheduling meals and knowing what foods to avoid. They also may be uncertain if a vegan diet can provide sufficient nutrition. Learning more about meal planning and vegan nutrition would help address these common concerns about transitioning to a vegan lifestyle.
The document discusses various forms of cruelty against animals, including their killing for food and entertainment purposes. It notes that over 10 billion animals are slaughtered each year for human consumption, often in inhumane conditions, and that animals continue to be used in cruel entertainment like bullfighting and circuses. The document also addresses the use of animals for clothing, experimentation, and other issues. It provides suggestions for how people can help, such as donating to organizations like PETA that work against animal cruelty.
This chapter introduces organizational behavior and discusses several key topics:
1) It defines organizational behavior as the study of human behavior in organizational settings and the interface between human behavior and organizations.
2) It outlines the disciplines of psychology, sociology, anthropology, and political science that contribute to the field of organizational behavior.
3) It describes common management functions like planning, organizing, staffing, and directing, as well as management roles and important skills for managers.
4) It discusses managing workforce diversity, globalization, improving customer service and employee skills, and creating a positive work environment.

RIWC_PARA_A036 Independent Living for learning disabled peopleMarco Muscroft
This document summarizes research on legislation in Korea to support independent living for adults with developmental disabilities. It describes how parent movements advocated for laws to provide services after schooling ends. The research interviewed parents and support center workers. It found that parents' advocacy led to a 2014 law establishing independence supports. However, adults with disabilities still face doubts, discomfort from others, and need lifelong education programs tailored to individual needs to facilitate community inclusion. Future improvements require better coordination between support organizations and research on continuous education models.

Data persistence for time series is an old and in many cases traditional task for databases. In general, the time series is just a sequence of data elements. The typical use case is a set of measurements made over a time interval. Much of the data generated by sensors, in a machine to machine communication, in Internet of Things area could be collected as time series. Time series are used in statistics, mathematical and finance. In this paper, we provide a survey of data persistence solutions for time series data. The paper covers the traditional relational databases, as well as NoSQL-based solutions for time series data.

This document discusses appropriate and inappropriate uses of Apache Spark for different types of data and workloads. It provides guidance on when to use Spark versus other data stores like databases. Good uses of Spark include general purpose processing of file-based data, data transformation/ETL, and machine learning/data science. Bad uses include random access queries, frequent inserts/updates, external reporting with high load, and content searching with high load, as Spark is not optimized for these types of workloads. The document recommends using a database instead for workloads involving random access, frequent changes, or high query loads.
The document discusses veganism and what it entails. Vegans do not consume any animal products, including eggs, dairy, honey, leather, fur, silk, wool, cosmetics and soaps. People become vegan for health reasons and to avoid supporting industries that cause harm to animals, such as dairy cows and calves raised for veal. The document provides background information on the vegan lifestyle and diet.
This document contains summaries of several web pages on the topics of veganism, animal welfare, and cruelty-free cosmetics. It discusses how celebrity vegans and YouTube influencers promote vegan cosmetics brands. It also presents quotes from articles on the environmental and ethical benefits of a vegan diet and lifestyle.

Here are the key facts about PETA:
- PETA is the largest animal rights organization in the world, with over 3 million members and supporters.
- It was founded in 1980 by Ingrid Newkirk and Alex Pacheco to promote animal protection and welfare through peaceful public education and nonviolent protest.
- PETA focuses its efforts on four main areas where animals suffer the most: factory farming, the clothing trade, laboratories, and the entertainment industry.
- Through investigations, undercover footage, celebrity endorsements, protests, and educational outreach, PETA aims to end animal abuse and encourage a vegan lifestyle.
- Some of PETA's impacts include pressuring fast food chains like
This document discusses the negative impacts of the fashion and cosmetics industries on animal welfare and the environment. It notes that millions of animals are killed every year by the fur and leather industries for clothing production. Animals on fur farms live in cramped cages and are killed inhumanely. The document also discusses how animal testing of cosmetics causes harm, though some alternatives now exist. In addition, it outlines how meat and dairy production uses vast amounts of land, water and fossil fuels, contributing significantly to environmental issues like greenhouse gas emissions and pollution. Going vegan reduces these impacts on animals and the planet.
The document discusses the negative impacts of various industries on animal welfare and the environment. It notes that the fashion industry, through fur and leather production, causes immense animal suffering on fur farms and through the killing of dogs, cats and other animals for their skin. The cosmetics industry also causes animal testing and suffering. Additionally, meat and dairy production has severe environmental impacts such as greenhouse gas emissions and water consumption, and negative health effects such as increased risk of heart disease and obesity. The document advocates for veganism as a way to reduce these harms.
This document reviews multiple sources that explore the benefits of a vegan diet, such as reduced risk of heart disease, but also notes potential downsides like nutritional deficiencies if not planned properly. It examines statistics on greenhouse gas emissions from different diets and lists common
This document discusses various aspects of veganism based on information from multiple online sources. It provides details on what veganism entails as a lifestyle, the health benefits of a vegan diet, how animals are treated in the meat and dairy industries, and alternatives to animal products. The document examines information from websites on topics like the number of vegans increasing, the vegan diet, benefits of a plant-based diet, what happens to dairy cows and their calves, and how animals are killed in the fur and egg industries.
The document discusses several key points about culture and social norms:
- Culture is learned and shared within a society through social interaction and is based on symbolic meanings that become internalized and taken for granted.
- Social norms are unwritten rules for how people should act within a group or society.
- The document then discusses the concept of animal exploitation, providing definitions and examples of how animals are used commercially for various products and purposes.
- Issues of animal welfare, rights, and the environmental and human impacts of animal agriculture are also examined.
1 the culture of being a vegan (redraft 1)Beth Geldard
This document discusses veganism and its culture. It defines vegans as people who do not eat meat, dairy, eggs, or other animal products and try to avoid using animal-derived materials like leather and wool. Vegans aim to avoid supporting animal agriculture industries and testing on animals. The document outlines some reasons people become vegan related to health, environment and animal welfare. It then provides examples of common vegan foods and diets before discussing the cruel conditions on fur farms and animal testing in cosmetics industries. Finally, it notes the rise of veganism among teenagers in recent years, attributed partly to social media and online vegan communities providing information and support.
1) The document analyzes the layout, design elements, and content of fashion magazines like Vogue, Elle, and Marie Claire.
2) It finds that the magazines have consistent masthead placement and color schemes across issues to maintain brand identity while incorporating seasonal trends.
3) The magazines aim to portray an aspirational lifestyle through highly edited images of tall, thin models and celebrities, while also including some more affordable fashion options without discussing their quality or production.

Emily faced some copyright issues using stock images but addressed this by editing photos herself. She communicated with the client face-to-face after the first week and upon completion to receive feedback. Emily created multiple options to meet the open brief and requirements, learning about client communication and managing projects with creative freedom.
The document analyzes the layout, design elements, and content of Vogue, Elle, and Marie Claire magazines. It finds that they share many similarities in their masthead placement, use of color schemes relating to the season, and posed cover photo shoots. They also take a similar scrapbook-style approach to some interior pages while maintaining more formal article layouts. Additionally, the magazines feature a mix of high-end and high street brand advertisements to appeal to different audiences. Common elements across the magazines aim to portray an aspirational view of fashion and beauty.
Vogue and Elle magazines follow some consistent design elements across issues but also allow for variation. Both prominently feature the celebrity or model on the cover along with brief descriptions of articles. Vogue uses a regimented layout with consistent placement of cover lines, barcodes, and sections. However, it varies blurring and gutters between articles. Elle utilizes minimalist color schemes and overlapping text on photos for impact. While maintaining some shared branding elements, the magazines incorporate flexibility in internal designs.
Emily Shaw completed a design project for a client involving business cards, logos, and social media posts for a hairdressing business. She faced some copyright constraints in using stock images and fonts, but was able to adapt designs to avoid issues. She communicated with the client periodically to get feedback and ensure the designs met requirements. While she diverged from her original schedule, Emily delivered all requested elements on time. Through this project, she learned how to work within client constraints, communicate effectively, and further developed her Photoshop skills for designing professional materials.
Emily Shaw completed a design project for a hairdressing client that involved creating business cards, logos, and mock social media posts within legal and financial constraints. She found that carefully editing stock images and creating original graphics helped avoid copyright issues. The client provided feedback that ensured the designs met regulatory guidelines and represented hairdressing appropriately. Overall, the project was finished on time and within budget, and Emily learned valuable lessons about client communication, working within briefs, and further developing her design skills.
A contractual brief is a legal document between a client and employee that outlines the specific time scale, price, and task. It provides advantages like being legally binding so either party can take action if the terms are not followed. However, it must be read thoroughly to understand what is being agreed to due to its specificity and potential legal implications. A formal brief only provides key information while an informal brief has no binding documents and allows more creative freedom but lacks protections. It is important to thoroughly read any brief to understand client expectations and gauge what is required to meet their needs and standards.
This production schedule outlines the timeline for creating branding materials like a logo, business cards, and social media assets for a new mobile hairdressing business called New Look Mobile Hairdressing from May 8th to May 19th. The schedule has the designer beginning work on the logo on May 8th and receiving client feedback on designs by May 15th before shifting to create business cards, social media banners, logos and sample social media posts through the end of the month.
This document contains research and development work for a client project creating branding materials like business cards, a Facebook banner, and logo. The client needs these materials to help promote their mobile hairdressing business. The author generated several initial ideas and then chose to further develop two ideas combining feminine, handwritten elements with a more minimalist, professional style. Mockups and examples were provided. Market research showed the client has significant local competition from other hairdressers. The existing branding materials could be improved. The final ideas will be assessed against the project constraints before being presented.
Emily Shaw created a mental health awareness campaign with bright, positive graphics and messaging to counter other campaigns that portrayed mental health issues in a negative or dark way. She developed posters, merchandise, and a website mock-up to promote the campaign. While some pieces could be improved, surveys showed the campaign was well-suited to raising awareness and changing attitudes about mental health issues.
This document summarizes Emily Shaw's social action evaluation of her mental health awareness campaign. The campaign used bright colors and graphics instead of images to create a more positive look. Feedback indicated the campaign communicated its message clearly and was well-suited and appropriate for its target audience of raising mental health awareness.
Emily Shaw created a mental health awareness campaign for the charity Mind. Her goal was to portray mental health in a more positive light compared to existing campaigns, which often used dark imagery. She designed bright, graphic-heavy posters that included facts about mental health and contact information for Mind without using images. Emily also created merchandise like stickers, phone cases, and notebooks featuring her logo and graphics. She felt her finished pieces effectively communicated her message to raise awareness and support for Mind in a way that was appropriate and non-stigmatizing for all audiences.
The document summarizes Emily Shaw's social action evaluation of her mental health awareness campaign. The campaign used bright colors and graphics instead of images to create a more lighthearted look. Feedback from surveys showed that 100% of respondents agreed the campaign was well-suited to promoting mental health awareness and would help educate people and raise awareness, meeting the campaign's goals.
Emily Shaw created a mental health awareness campaign with bright, positive imagery and graphics instead of the typical dark or negative images used in other campaigns. Her campaign used circles throughout to represent wholeness. She created posters, merchandise, and a mock website homepage to raise awareness, provide information, and support the charity. A survey found that people felt her positive approach was effective. Overall, Emily believes her campaign pieces fit their intended purposes of changing attitudes, raising awareness, and building relationships regarding mental health issues.
The SmokeFree campaign poster aims to persuade people to quit smoking and raise awareness of the dangers of smoking through graphic imagery and facts. The poster uses a graphic image of mutations on a cigarette to visually portray the damage smoking can cause. It also includes a fact about how just 15 cigarettes can negatively impact health to catch viewers' attention. The poster provides links to SmokeFree websites to give people seeking help resources to quit smoking. The goal is to campaign against smoking by informing people of its health risks in an eye-catching way.
The document outlines final designs for a project including a logo, campaign posters, and merchandise. It lists four main sections: final logo, campaign posters, and merchandise providing an overview of the completed design work.
Emily Shaw was creating campaign posters with the phrase "Surviving or Thriving?" She found that the original font she chose made the H look like a U at a quick glance. To fix this, she used the polygon lasso tool to cut out the dash and move it higher up on the H to make it clearer to read quickly. When designing the posters, she experimented with different logos she had made. While they all worked nicely in different ways, the yellow speech bubble colors contrasted too much with her color scheme. So she changed the bubble's color to better fit the look of the posters.
The document discusses final merchandise options. It appears to be a note from Emily Shaw regarding merchandise items. In 3 sentences or less, it does not provide enough context to summarize the essential information or high level details of any merchandise options discussed.
The document is a logo mood board created by Emily Shaw. It contains visual examples of different logo designs, colors, fonts, and styles that could inspire the creation of a new logo. The mood board aims to showcase different design options and elements that may be incorporated into the logo design process.

animals are a lot like humans and are capable of

states how millions of animals are killed
each year just to produce clothes for the
fashion industry. Also in this article there
are links to a website which instructs
people on ‘How to dress vegan’ and this
gives tips and advice on how to avoid
products that have been made from
animal produce, there is also a segment on
that page which tells people where to buy

http://www.peta.org/issues/animals-used-
for-clothing/fur/
Summary: This article highlights the fact that animal fur is
everywhere in the fashion industry even if its just the trim of
a coat. Within this industry animals are treated horrendously
on ‘fur farms’ where they live in cramped wire cages, as well
as this the methods used to kill the animals are usually the
cheapest and most aggressive. The article also draws
attention towards the fact that in china dogs and cats are also
killed for their fur and can be mislabeled. At the end of this
article PETA state that there are other options like faux fur

from as leather can be made from cows, pigs, goats, sheep, alligators,
ostriches, kangaroos and even dogs and cats which are used in china
for their skin and meat and the leather produced there is never labeled
so you will never truly know where the leather you're wearing has
come from. Also the article states how in developing countries where
most leather comes from there are limited animal welfare laws
therefore the animals there are treated even worse. Leather is also
destroying the environment much like the meat industry is, this is
because of the toxins used in tanning.
Quotes:

killed for their skin endure the horrors of factory farming—extreme
crowding and deprivation as well as castration, branding, tail-docking,
and dehorning—all without any painkillers.’
‘Buying leather directly contributes to factory farms and
slaughterhouses because skin is the most economically important
byproduct of the meat industry.’
‘With every pair of leather shoes that you buy, you sentence an animal
to a lifetime of suffering.’

http://www.peta.org.uk/living/easy-
way-go-cruelty-free/
Summary: The article highlights the fact that testing on animals for
cosmetics and other toiletry products has been banned across the UK
for around 3 years now, since then testing on animals was also banned
across the European Union. However there are countries like China
where testing on animals is compulsory and the company has to pay
for the products to be tested on animals. Although there is a law
against animal testing for cosmetics, there is still no law against animal
testing for household cleaning products although one is being
considered, but generally the testing doesn’t take place in this country
so wouldn’t be very effective. There are certain high street companies
such as LUSH and The Body Shop and many more which is on the PETA
cruelty free list. There are a variety of cosmetics and household
products that contain animal ingredients and aren't completely vegan,
an example of a company of a company which has range of products
which are vegan is LUSH.

been banned in the UK, and as of March 2013’
‘In some countries – China, for example – it is compulsory for any
company that sells cosmetics to pay for the products to be tested on
animals.’
‘Unless a company has a policy in place about the ingredients it uses, it
is very likely that the ingredients it buys have been tested on animals.’
‘LUSH has its own range of entirely vegan cosmetics’
‘Thousands of animals suffer and are killed for cosmetics testing
around the world every year – and billions are also killed for food.’
Validating Sources: As this article is from the PETA website itself
means its fairly reliable due to the fact that they are a well established,
well known company that promote animal welfare and animal rights
groups.

11. ‘Cosmetics and Animal Testing’
http://www.peta.org.uk/issues/animals-
not-experiment-on/cosmetics/
Summary: This article focus’ in more on the cosmetics and toiletries side of
animal testing. Although it was made illegal in 2013 among the EU to sell
animal tested cosmetics within Europe. Also there are ways around this law
as animal tested products cant be sold in Europe, however outside of
Europe the cosmetics can be tested on animals and sell them in other
markets. Although animal testing for cosmetics is banned, animal testing on
household products is still to be banned in Europe, meaning that hundreds
of rats, mice, rabbits and guinea pigs are in toxicity tests for chemicals that
are used in household products, to test these the products are injected into
the animals skin and forced down their throats doing this can cause,
vomiting , organ failures, death and many more side effects.
Quotes:
‘PETA has been at the technical forefront of the animal protection
community in its campaign to replace animal methods with in vitro methods
in regulatory toxicity testing. Importantly, they have backed up their
activities with real dollars to support the development of nonanimal
methods.’
—Dr. Rodger Curren, President, Institute for In Vitro Sciences
‘Following the ban on animal-tested cosmetics in Europe, ending animal
tests for household products is the next logical step – and would save
countless lives.’
‘PETA is urging the UK government to end these animals’ suffering by
banning all animal-testing for household products and their ingredients.’
‘Despite the remarkable progress that’s been made, ingredients used in
cosmetics may still be tested on animals in the EU under REACH, the world’s
largest chemical testing programme.’
Validating Sources: As this article came from the PETA website it is reliable
as it is at the forefront of being against animal testing and how badly
animals are treated within the fashion industry.

before – as I didn’t realise it would be so easy to get into.’ – Euan
Reece, 17.
‘Veganism is definitely more common among young people now. I feel
that social media has played a major part in this, but there’s also the
fact that younger people aren’t bound as much by traditional values,
so they are more likely to change to a more leftfield thing such as
veganism.’ – Euan Reece, 17.
‘I find that men are looked down on in mainstream circles for being
vegan as it isn’t seen as masculine.’ – Euan Reece, 17.

15. ‘How your diet could change the
world’
https://www.vegansociety.com/g
o-vegan/environment
Summary: Also in this article there is a lot of facts and statistics
which help to show the scale of meat production and veganism for
example this article states that since the 60’s the population had
doubled yet the worlds meat production has quadrupled which is a
shocking scale as that isn't a well known fact that the meant
production industry is that large across the world. Meat production
contributes massively towards global warming, pollution,
deforestation, water scarcity and species extinction. Having ore
animals in the food production industry also means that they will
need food to feed them, which indicates that in years to come there
wont be enough room for both the crops and the animals. Food and
land security can also be effected by this and a vegan and plant based
diet don’t use as many resources and would therefore save a lot
more space, as well as this a vegan diet uses less water and would
help to eliminate the water scarcity problem that may develop.
Quotes:
‘The world will only have 60% of the water it needs by 2030 without
significant global policy change, according to a recent report from the
U.N.’
‘Livestock production has increased massively; there are now 4 and a
half times as many tonnes of pig produced in 2013 compared to
1961, while world chicken production has increased by nearly 13
times.’
‘The Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations
predicts that by 2050 world meat production will have almost
doubled, as the Western taste for meat, eggs and dairy products
continues to grow.’
‘The planet cannot feed both increasing human and farmed animal
populations, especially when there will be between 2-4 billion more
human mouths to feed by 2050.’
Validating Sources: The source is also a fairly reliable website as its
an official company ‘The Vegan Society’ which is one of the leading
vegan action sites.

free diet’
https://www.theguardian.com/environme
nt/2010/jun/02/un-report-meat-free-diet
(Wednesday 2 June 2010)
Summary: This article is based more around the UN’s concerns that
without more people turning to a vegan diet it could lead to world hunger,
fuel poverty and climate change. The UNEP (United Nations Environment
Programme) states that diets rich in meat and dairy products are not
sustainable as there is estimated to be 9.1 billion people by 2050.
Quotes:
‘Agriculture, particularly meat and dairy products, accounts for 70% of
global freshwater consumption, 38% of the total land use and 19% of the
world’s greenhouse gas emissions, says the report, which has been
launched to coincide with UN World Environment day on Saturday.’
‘Last year the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organisation said that food
production would have to increase globally by 70% by 2050 to feed the
world’s surging population.’
‘Professor Edgar Hertwich, the lead author of the report, said: “Animal
products cause more damage than [producing] construction minerals such
as sand or cement, plastics or metals. Biomass and crops for animals are as
damaging as [burning] fossil fuels.”’
‘The recommendation follows advice last year that a vegetarian diet was
better for the planet from Lord Nicholas Stern, former adviser to the
Labour government on the economics of climate change.’

18. Health benefits- Veganuary
https://veganuary.com/why/health/
Summary: This article on Veganuary states that the second
biggest reason for people going vegan is now for the health
benefits. One of these health benefits is that going
vegan/vegetarian can help lower blood pressure, as it was
research that meat eaters generally have a higher blood
pressure than non-meat eaters. High blood pressure can be
the cause of heart disease, strokes and kidney failure. Also
studies have shown that vegans cholesterol levels are
generally lower than a meat eaters, high cholesterol can cause
heart attacks and strokes. As well as this research found that
vegans generally have a lower BMI than people on a standard
meat eating diet, veganism can help combat the risk of
obesity.
Quotes:
‘Between 1996 and 2011, obesity rates in the UK have almost
doubled; 24% for men and 26% for women.’
‘Trials of diets have also shown that being vegan is more
effective than a low fat standard diets.’
‘A two year controlled trial inObesity compared a moderate
low fat diet to a vegan diet. The results showed that the
vegans lost significantly more weight than those on the low fat
diet.’
“All my blood tests are good, and my vital signs are good, and I
feel good, and I also have, believe it or not, more energy.” –
Bill Clinton (became vegan after emergency heart surgery).
‘Approximately 30% of the UK population have high blood
pressure.’

healthy/#ImgYdUw2bBw5VbtH.97
(December 31st 2014)
Summary: This article contains a balanced argument on the health
benefits and downfalls of a vegan diet for example a vegan diet is
is generally higher in vitamin C and fibre and is also lower in
saturated fats however the article also says that vegan diets can
also be fairly low in calcium, iron and vitamin D, so you need to be
conscious of whether or not you are low in any of these vitamins or
minerals. This article also highlights that fact no matter what diet
you are on there's always a risk of it being unhealthy if you eat too
much of one thing and too little of another.
Quotes:
‘A recent study indicated that the average vegan diet is higher in
vitamin C and fibre, and lower in saturated fat than one containing
meat.’
‘Statistics show that vegans have a lower BMI (height-to-weight
ratio) than meat eaters’
‘A diet without any meat or dairy products is likely to contain a lot
less saturated fat, which is related to increased cholesterol levels
and increased risk of heart disease.’
‘If you follow a vegan diet it is essential that you get enough of
these nutrients through specific vegan food sources – and may
even need to take additional supplements.’
Validating sources: This article was a lot more opinionated and less
factual however it had a lot more balanced arguments and gave a
lot more of an incite of what issues may be caused from having a
vegan diet.

20. ‘Benefits of a vegan lifestyle’
http://www.ilovevegan.com/resources/b
enefits-of-a-vegan-lifestyle/
Summary: This article focus’ on the positives that come from a vegan
diet for example the article states that healthy vegan diets are high in
vitamins B1, C and E, folic acid, magnesium, and iron as well as this
they are usually low in cholesterol and saturated fats. As well as this a
vegan diet can reduce the risks of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular
disease, heart disease, hypertension, stroke and obesity. In this post
the it is stated that there's an estimated 14% of the earths population
that suffer from malnutrition yet there still continues to be so much
waste from agricultural land. By following a vegan diet it contributes
less to to air pollution and puts less pressure on natural resources as
there is less of a requirement for land, fossil fuels and water.
Quotes:
‘Breeding, raising, and feeding animals for food is a tremendously
inefficient use of our natural resources.’
‘60% of worldwide deforestation has been converted for use as
agricultural land, much of which is used for grazing cattle.’
‘While chickens can live for more than 10 years, egg laying hens are
slaughtered between the age of 2-2.5 years old as this is when egg
production begins to decline.’
‘Females begin their lives as dairy cows at 13 months of age. Males are
slaughtered for veal within anywhere from just a few hours old up to 4
months of age.’
Validating Sources: As this article is more of a blog post it may need
some of the facts checking before I use them as there is no references
so if I use any of these ill have to ensure they are true.

23. Summary
• What I found from talking to the people I interviewed was that people are fairly open to a
vegan lifestyle, as one of them was already considering veganism to support their friend, and
another was that they would try it for a short period of time, meaning something like
Veganuary would be very well suited to them as they would be likely to try it. On the other
hand the second person I spoke to was more against the idea of trying veganism, but did
know of vegan musicians who they enjoy. The general responses I got was that people had
found out about veganism and saw the most advertisement for veganism on social media,
more specifically Facebook, which helps me to understand where people see most about
veganism and could be place to mainly target my infographics. Also from these conversations
I found that people have only just started to learn more about veganism in the past couple of
years showing how its becoming increasingly more popular.
