Uncooked Food : The Reality About The Raw Food Style
Uncooked food: The reality about the raw food style. Most of the human race cook their meals
every day, we been taught for generations to cook our meals before we eat them. Hundreds of
recipes on how to cook food can be found in books, magazines and internet. We cooked everything,
examples are for breakfast we could have an egg omelet with sauté veggies, for lunch a Caesar
chicken salad and for dinner a New York steak with a rice pilaf. All this examples required the food
to be cooked a certain temperature to achieve flavors and health preparation standards. On a
different view of food preparation, raw foodist claim that cocking our food can damage or destroy
the natural nutrients and enzymes found in food. Raw foodist are the followers of a completely raw
food diet, an alternative lifestyle for those who desire a healthy mind and body, according to

Vegan Argumentative Essay
Vegan Power The correlation of health and diet has been an argument amongst many people
whether they are vegan or not. A whole food plant based diet, or being vegan, is a very healthy
lifestyle amongst many people for many reasons. First, eating meat and dairy products causes many
health problems that eventually catch up to people through the chemicals or toxins they produce or
the substances they have in the animal that people eat. Going vegan is very beneficial to everyone's
health and can prevent or actually reverse diseases. The second reason is it can help the environment

Due to the fact that there are too many farm animals, the waste from these animals pile very high.
Raising these livestocks produces more greenhouse gases such as methane, carbon dioxide, and
nitrous oxide that contribute to global warming, the increase of temperature around the world. These
gases accumulate in the atmosphere and slowly heat up the planet, causing changes in climate.
These climate changes throw off the balance of nature and could cause the melting of the polar caps,
drastic changes in temperature, and other disastrous changes. Also, when farms and industries clear
up forests to make room for more farms and slaughterhouses, they are killing off the very things that
are capturing these greenhouse gases and also destroying habitats that animals live in. Not only that,
but the trees release the carbon dioxide they have been storing into the atmosphere. In addition,
farms dispose the waste of these animals into bodies of water, affecting the wildlife that live and
thrive off that body of the water and also people's water reserves. Also, there are farms and
slaughterhouses around communities such as some farms in North Carolina who spray the waste of
the animals into communities where the fecal bacteria and toxins from the animal will contaminate
the water and make the people sick from the smell of the bacteria. To fix this problem, farmers can

The Human Diet Essay
Introduction "You are what you eat" is a common phrase amongst parents attempting to convince
their children to trade their candy in for some vegetables. As it turns out, this saying holds more
truth than one may think. The human diet has played a major role in our evolution. Not only has
human evolution shaped our diet, but our diet has shaped us. The relationship between man and diet
throughout time is complex, and not completely clear. However, what information we can gather
about the diet of our ancestors may help to explain how what we eat affects us today. Our diet paved
the way for us to evolve the traits that now define us as human, such as our bipedal stance, more
developed brains, and ability to manipulate tools. It also resulted in a disconnect between our
nutritional needs and the foods we actually consumed due to the rapid changes in our diet during
agricultural and industrial revolutions. This disconnect manifested itself in the form of chronic
diseases. The leading three causes of death in America are heart disease, cancer, and chronic lower
respiratory diseases, all of which are linked to dietary intake. Examining how our diet evolved can
give us insight as to why these diseases are so prevalent in our society, and how we can potentially
adjust our diets to foster a healthier society for the future. Dietary evolution of early hominids For

All Humans Love Food?
All humans love food. We are predisposed to enjoy it as a precautionary tool to ensure our species
won't die off from starvation and finicky preferences. This is why eating is a dominant part of daily
life; whether a person is planning a special dinner, deciding where to go to lunch with a friend, or
simply choosing which snacks to eat during a movie, humans are constantly engaged with the idea
of, and the consumption of, food. Having such importance, humans should, admittedly, be more

By normalizing vegan diets and promoting its benefits, many Americans could change their
lifestyles for the better of the Earth, and of themselves. Vegans live substantially healthier lifestyles
than nearly all other opposing diets, and especially so compared to the more traditional Western diet
that most Americans adopt. Arguably the most important factor of this health boost, vegan patients
have consistently been found to have lower blood pressure than opposing diets in control groups
(Barnard 30, Garbett et al. 455, McEvoy et al. 2288). This is valuable information due to the fact
that "There are > 70 million adults in the United States currently diagnosed with high blood
pressure, with only 52% of them actually having their disease under control..." (Garbett et al. 452).
Hypertension is a prevalent disorder in the U.S, with most people diagnosed not careful enough to
keep it at healthy levels. With vegan cuisine, this threat of heart related issues subsides as the body
gains a more sufficient intake of calories with a reduction in cholesterol and fatty foods. In fact, the
results of such a study showed that "The overall prevalence of hypertension among vegetarians was
33% lower than nonvegetarian diets" (Garbett et al. 455). In this context, "vegetarians" referred to

especially for those of us that have no time or interest in changing our entire lifestyles and eating

INTRODUCTION Fascination with health and dieting has been around for hundreds of years; with
changing times, come changing ideas on foods, health, and nutrition. For example, the food pyramid
has changed several times since the early 20th century. The USDA has revised its recommendations
more than several times since 1917. Originally, the nutrition guide, established in 1916, was based
on five food groups. During the Great Depression, the number of food groups increased to twelve,
as fruits and vegetables were broken down into more specific categories, each with their own daily
recommendations, to serve as a "purchase guide" that would be able to accommodate a much poorer
country. In the mid–20th century, food groups decreased from twelve to seven, and then to four–
milk, proteins, grains, and fruits/vegetables. These groups stayed the same until the 1970s, when the
food pyramid was first introduced, separating fruits from vegetables, and also including some sort of
intake of fats and oils. For at least 30 years, this had been the standard recommendation until "My
Plate" was recently introduced. As research continues to search for the "perfect" diet for humans, the
USDA's newest model offers guidelines that are aimed at improving ones overall health–but clearly,
guidelines have constantly changed over time.

The Use Of Psychological Tactics On Human Behavior
According to the USDA, the average family will spend anywhere from $146 to $289 on groceries
per week. The science behind this outrageous spending cost derives from the basic concept of
manipulation; supermarkets will capitalize on human spending by appealing to their basic nature.
Humans have become oblivious to their spending over the years because walking into a store to
purchase necessities has become more of a privilege than an imperative right. Individuals have the
mindset that "name brands" are the only product they desire when in actuality, the only difference
between a name brand and the "generic" product is the logo. Emotional scientist have studied the
human patterns of shopping and broken it down into a simplistic algorithm that encourages humans
to purchase more than they need. Supermarkets use psychological tactics to attract consumers to
certain commodities by exploiting product promotion, availability, placement, and social influence–
or in other words, marketing.
An emotional scientist or a psychologist is a professional that studies, identifies, and decides which
products appeal to the human mind more so than others. This psychologist is not your average
Freudian follower– he or she will not tell you that you purchase specific products because of sexual
stimulation; rather they will identify certain aspects (color, promotion, etc.) of a product and suggest
these features to go into product promotion. Color preference is a personal attribute that is

Sausage, ham, deli meats although have sodium nitrates are high in fat in what makes it unhealthy.
We shouldn't say foods high in fat and also have sodium nitrates as a reason to avoid sodium nitrate.
Since only 7% of the sodium nitrites we consume come from added sodium nitrate sources our
consumption from non–natural source are very small. "The processed meat eaten today contains
about 80% less nitrites than it did a few decades ago".(Gunnars) Meaning the food is a lot heathier
then most people think today, Some processed meats like bacon due to the cooking process of high
heat cooking the nitrates can turn into compounds called nitrosamines which is a carcinogen. So
cooking bacon on lower heat for longer can significantly reduce the formation of nitrosamines also
the microwave is been known as a safe way to cook bacon.

does not gormandize eggs or any type of meat or fish. Veganism is the practice of a strict vegetarian
diet that requires the abstinence from the use of animal products. This includes refraining from
orally consuming any type of animals, as well as not using materials such as real leather, wool, or
honey. A vegan, or a person who practices Veganism, steers away from eating dairy products such as
milk, yogurt, cheese, and ice cream. A vegan diet is the best possible diet because it prevents

Negative Essay On Vegetarianism
According to a recent poll, 6 to 8 million Americans do not eat meat, fish, or poultry. From these
people studies have been done about the effects of a vegetarian diet on the body. Compared to meat
eaters, vegetarians consume less saturated fat and cholesterol from not eating meat. This diet leads
to better long–term health. Research so far has shown that a vegetarian diet reduces the risk of heart
disease. In recent years a study was done using 76,000 participants and the results showed that
vegetarians were 25% less likely to die from a cardiac event such as a heart attack. This is because
vegetarians tend to consume more high–fiber, whole grains, and legumes which have a low
glycemic index and the body digests slowly. This keeps blood sugar levels steady. Another food
item that helps reduce the risk of heart disease is walnuts. The omega–3s in walnuts help reduce
total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol. There is some controversy over whether vegetarians are
significantly healthier. Also, discussing the differences in the types of vegetarians. And portray the

Different people follow different forms of vegetarianism. A true vegetarian eats no meat at all,

Humans Need An Omnivorous Diet
Human have gone through evolutionary change that we have soon adapted and gained the advantage
to being able to ingest just about anything. It could be seen that our bodies had to go through a
serious of adjusting such as nuts, which are packed with fats and low in fiber. A diet with nuts could
have adjusted our ancestors to a meat eating lifestyle. Our ancestors were hunter and gatherers from
the start. Perhaps when it became time to look for food, animals and plants were comprised. They
had access to stone tools which were used for opening the nuts and could have been shaped for
killing animals and eating them. There is great evidence on the anatomy and physiology of our
ancestors through their jaw, which shows a transformative history that back up an omnivorous diet,

Smart Fat Research Paper
Fat is often labeled as the reason for obesity however it seems like there is sufficient proof that fat in
itself does not cause weight gain. In 1977, the Senate Select Committee on Nutrition and Human
Needs recommended a dietary guideline that limited fat intake to no more than 30% per day.
According to statistics, the instances of obesity started to increase around the same time fat was
villanized and low–fat products became more popular. Furthermore, similar studies claim that the
"war" on fat led people to substitute butter and lard with processed low–fat food which are high in
artificial flavoring and sugar.
More and more health enthusiasts are learning that not all fat is bad for the body. In fact, recently

According to the doctor, fiber helps in the weight loss process and it prevents diabetes and heart

Arguments Against Vegetarianism
Albert Einstein once said, "Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival
of life on earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet." Many enlightened and intelligent
people have along with Einstein come to realize that the problems Americans face with health and
the environment can be solved with simply partaking in the more compassionate lifestyle accredited
to the vegetarian movement. Americans should adopt vegetarian diets because they are more
beneficial to one's health, more sustainable for the environment, and more ethical than the standard
Western diet. Adopting a vegetarian diet has exceptional health benefits that can't be ignored. For

For example, in the article "Vegetarianism Is a Moral Decision with Many Benefits," psychologist,
professor, and author, Melanie Joy states, "When we say yes to health, we say no to harm. We
protect our bodies as well of the bodies of the animals–approximately 20,000 of them per minute in
the U.S. alone–who are brutally raised and slaughtered for their flesh and excretions." Animals are
intelligent, loving, and very much deserving of life. Humans have come to think that they own every
animal on the planet and can extort, exploit and execute them at no cost except $5.99 a pound.
However, there is a much greater cost to the meat on America's plate–– millions of animals' lives.
Furthermore, in the same article, Melanie Joy states, "Animals are routinely castrated, de–beaked,
and de–horned without any painkiller whatsoever. They are born and raised in crowded, filthy, dark
environments where their existence is one of abject misery and terror." Animals are sentient beings
with nervous systems and thought processes. The pain and suffering animals in commercial farming
must endure preceding their murder is harrowing. If factory farms had glass walls, people would

The Effect Of N-3deficient Diet And Its Affect On Humans
Over the last century, the diet of the average human has been getting substantially worse. Vitamin

Should Vegetarianism Be A Vegetarian? Essay
A vegetarian is a person who does not eat meat, and sometimes other animal products, mainly for
moral, religious, or health reasons. In recent years, the transition to a vegetarianism lifestyle has
become like just another fad diet. However, becoming a vegetarian or just overall reducing meat
consumption is particularly beneficial to one's longevity. So, vegetarianism should not be looked at
as just another trend, but, instead as a positive change to one's lifestyle. Becoming a vegetarian
lessens the morality of a person by decreasing their susceptibly to diseases, i.e.; heart disease,
cancer, and type 2 diabetes. The vegetarian lifestyle is not only advantageous to humans but to
animals and the environment as well. Thus, the shift to vegetarianism is encouraged for an improved
wellbeing and planet altogether.
There have been numerous studies showing that a vegetarian diet is beneficial to one's mortality and
longevity. In the article "Red Meat Consumption and Mortality," An Pan, PhD, along with others of
the same stature followed the lives of 121,342 people to see the relationship between red meat and
mortality. They concluded from the investigation is that a diet high in red meat is consistent with an

Diet Pop And Its Effects On Human Health
Introduction
Many people have faced problems in deciding which pop to drink, regular or diet. People have
different opinions on the reasons why they prefer one particular pop to another. Through various
researches done all over the world, people have tried to figure out specific causes of ailments
especially those thought to be associated with food. As an avid pop drinker, the need to know the
best pop option has made me curious about how big of a difference there is. It is important to know
the components of each of these pops and decide on the one that has the least side effects or harm on
human health (Brownell et al, 2007). Diet pop contains aspartame, which is a sweetener although it
is non–sugar. Diet pop is consumed worldwide.
At temperatures around 30 degrees Celsius, the aspartame in diet pop changes to phermeldahide.
This is a chemical substance that is used as a freezing agent in mortuaries. Consumption of this
chemical substance in large amounts is vital to human health and can cause cancer, severe ailments,
brain tumors, lymphoma, and brain lesions. On the other hand, regular pop contains a small
percentage of sugar. The human brain requires sugar for proper functioning. Consumption of large
amounts of sugar may also be dangerous but regular pop, consumed in controlled amounts, does not
contain enough sugar to pose health threats to individuals.

Due to the fact that there are too many farm animals, the waste from these animals pile very high. Raising these livestocks produces more greenhouse gases such as methane, carbon dioxide, and nitrous oxide that contribute to global warming, the increase of temperature around the world. These gases accumulate in the atmosphere and slowly heat up the planet, causing changes in climate. These climate changes throw off the balance of nature and could cause the melting of the polar caps, drastic changes in temperature, and other disastrous changes. Also, when farms and industries clear up forests to make room for more farms and slaughterhouses, they are killing off the very things that are capturing these greenhouse gases and also destroying habitats that animals live in. Not only that, but the trees release the carbon dioxide they have been storing into the atmosphere. In addition, farms dispose the waste of these animals into bodies of water, affecting the wildlife that live and thrive off that body of the water and also people's water reserves. Also, there are farms and slaughterhouses around communities such as some farms in North Carolina who spray the waste of the animals into communities where the fecal bacteria and toxins from the animal will contaminate the water and make the people sick from the smell of the bacteria.

As humans we crave an image of perfection in one's self; and a diet is just a route we take in order achieve this goal. The question that comes to mind of many is: Which diet actually works? The family oriented traditional western diet or a vegan diet? Firstly, "the western diet is characterized by high intakes of red meat, sugary desserts, high–fat foods, and refined grains"( Nazni 78).

  • 5. The Human Diet Essay Introduction "You are what you eat" is a common phrase amongst parents attempting to convince their children to trade their candy in for some vegetables. As it turns out, this saying holds more truth than one may think. The human diet has played a major role in our evolution. Not only has human evolution shaped our diet, but our diet has shaped us. The relationship between man and diet throughout time is complex, and not completely clear. However, what information we can gather about the diet of our ancestors may help to explain how what we eat affects us today. Our diet paved the way for us to evolve the traits that now define us as human, such as our bipedal stance, more developed brains, and ability to manipulate tools. It also resulted in a disconnect between our nutritional needs and the foods we actually consumed due to the rapid changes in our diet during agricultural and industrial revolutions. This disconnect manifested itself in the form of chronic diseases. The leading three causes of death in America are heart disease, cancer, and chronic lower respiratory diseases, all of which are linked to dietary intake. Examining how our diet evolved can give us insight as to why these diseases are so prevalent in our society, and how we can potentially adjust our diets to foster a healthier society for the future.

  • 6. All Humans Love Food? All humans love food. We are predisposed to enjoy it as a precautionary tool to ensure our species won't die off from starvation and finicky preferences. This is why eating is a dominant part of daily life; whether a person is planning a special dinner, deciding where to go to lunch with a friend, or simply choosing which snacks to eat during a movie, humans are constantly engaged with the idea of, and the consumption of, food. Having such importance, humans should, admittedly, be more careful in considering which foods they consume.

By normalizing vegan diets and promoting its benefits, many Americans could change their lifestyles for the better of the Earth, and of themselves. Vegans live substantially healthier lifestyles than nearly all other opposing diets, and especially so compared to the more traditional Western diet that most Americans adopt. Arguably the most important factor of this health boost, vegan patients have consistently been found to have lower blood pressure than opposing diets in control groups (Barnard 30, Garbett et al. 455, McEvoy et al. 2288). This is valuable information due to the fact that "There are > 70 million adults in the United States currently diagnosed with high blood pressure, with only 52% of them actually having their disease under control..." (Garbett et al. 452). Hypertension is a prevalent disorder in the U.S, with most people diagnosed not careful enough to keep it at healthy levels. With vegan cuisine, this threat of heart related issues subsides as the body gains a more sufficient intake of calories with a reduction in cholesterol and fatty foods. In fact, the results of such a study showed that "The overall prevalence of hypertension among vegetarians was 33% lower than nonvegetarian diets" (Garbett et al. 455).

Pros And Cons Of The Paleo Diet On the other hand opponents of the Paleo Diet point out what they see as a major flaw in the pro Paleo argument: There aren't any research–backed reasons to cut dairy, legumes and grains out of one's diet. Thus, the Paleo diet might have unintended health consequences and may not be representational of a true Paleolithic diet. Ferris Jabr, How to Really Eat Like a Hunter–Gatherer: Why the Paleo Diet Is Half–Baked, states that we are not biologically identical to our Paleolithic predecessors, nor do we have access to the foods they ate.

Diet Fads Today : Is There Potential For Humans Lauren Betancourt Professor Stapell/Evolution & Human Health July 7, 2015 Diet Fads Today: Is There Potential for Humans to Actually Stick with the Idea of Ancestral Eating and Re–Adapt to this Lifestyle? ABSTRACT Fad diets are all the craze; originally referred to as "idiosyncratic diets and eating patterns," they are those popular diets of our culture that promote quick and easy weight loss, especially for those of us that have no time or interest in changing our entire lifestyles and eating habits to just improve our health. What many people like about fad diets is that they are just the quick and easy means of losing weight–it's what's on the outside that counts, right? One trend that has been gaining a lot of widespread attention ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... INTRODUCTION Fascination with health and dieting has been around for hundreds of years; with changing times, come changing ideas on foods, health, and nutrition. For example, the food pyramid has changed several times since the early 20th century. The USDA has revised its recommendations more than several times since 1917. Originally, the nutrition guide, established in 1916, was based on five food groups. During the Great Depression, the number of food groups increased to twelve, as fruits and vegetables were broken down into more specific categories, each with their own daily recommendations, to serve as a "purchase guide" that would be able to accommodate a much poorer country. In the mid–20th century, food groups decreased from twelve to seven, and then to four– milk, proteins, grains, and fruits/vegetables. These groups stayed the same until the 1970s, when the food pyramid was first introduced, separating fruits from vegetables, and also including some sort of intake of fats and oils. For at least 30 years, this had been the standard recommendation until "My Plate" was recently introduced. As research continues to search for the "perfect" diet for humans, the USDA's newest model offers guidelines that are aimed at improving ones overall health–but clearly, guidelines have constantly changed over time.

  • 10. The Use Of Psychological Tactics On Human Behavior According to the USDA, the average family will spend anywhere from $146 to $289 on groceries per week. The science behind this outrageous spending cost derives from the basic concept of manipulation; supermarkets will capitalize on human spending by appealing to their basic nature. Humans have become oblivious to their spending over the years because walking into a store to purchase necessities has become more of a privilege than an imperative right. Individuals have the mindset that "name brands" are the only product they desire when in actuality, the only difference between a name brand and the "generic" product is the logo. Emotional scientist have studied the human patterns of shopping and broken it down into a simplistic algorithm that encourages humans to purchase more than they need. Supermarkets use psychological tactics to attract consumers to certain commodities by exploiting product promotion, availability, placement, and social influence– or in other words, marketing. An emotional scientist or a psychologist is a professional that studies, identifies, and decides which products appeal to the human mind more so than others. This psychologist is not your average Freudian follower– he or she will not tell you that you purchase specific products because of sexual stimulation; rather they will identify certain aspects (color, promotion, etc.) of a product and suggest these features to go into product promotion.

All four of those led me to the truth that a low–fat, high–carb, mostly raw vegan lifestyle is the optimum, not only for my health, but most importantly for the wellbeing of the planet" (Tim Shieff). The first appearance of Veganism can be traced back over 2,000 years ago. Around 500 BCE, Pythagoras, a Greek philosopher, followed and advocated a vegetarian diet. Another person that advertized vegetarian diets was Buddah. In 1806 BCE, Dr. William Lampe and Percy Bysshe Shelley, were one of the first people to refuse the use of eggs and dairy, publicly in that time period. A vegetarian is someone who does not gormandize eggs or any type of meat or fish. Veganism is the practice of a strict vegetarian diet that requires the abstinence from the use of animal products. This includes refraining from orally consuming any type of animals, as well as not using materials such as real leather, wool, or honey. A vegan, or a person who practices Veganism, steers away from eating dairy products such as milk, yogurt, cheese, and ice cream. A vegan diet is the best possible diet because it prevents diseases, rejuvenates the body, and inflicts less damage to the environment.

The list of choices and categories is lengthy, with vocal advocates for the Atkins diet, the Zone diet, South Beach diet, Jenny Craig, Vegan/vegetarian diet, and the cousin to the Atkins diet the Paleo diet, etc. If any of these diets was sufficiently effective and easily adopted by Americans we wouldn't be faced with such an obesity epidemic.
