Persuasive Speech On Milk

Cow milk is meant for calves, not for humans. Cow milk can actually cause health problems like asthma. I know you are all asking yourself “How does she expect us to get calcium?”. As a matter of fact, leafy green vegetables have more calcium in them than milk does. Meat.

The farmers are treated poorly by the big name companies.  The health in the United States is declining severely, 16% of children are obese,have diabetes, and other major health problems. In David Barboza’s article, “If You Pitch It, They Will Eat It,” Barboza argues that big name food companies are targeting the youth of society, because they will watch a show on television and see the food products at the store with their favorite character on the packaging. But the food that is being marketed to the youth is unhealthy for the human body.

97% of the 10 billion animals tortured and killed each year are farm animals. While cows are still awake and in agony, their throats are “Slashed...to bleed out there and sent down a line where their limbs are lopped off as they pass. ”(Killing and Butchering a

In the article, “Chocolate Milk Gets Nutritionists’ Gold Star”, an online survey of 1, 247 parents represent what opinions there are about serving chocolate milk in schools. To begin with, 84 percent of the parents thought chocolate milk is an “acceptable beverage to serve” in schools. This shows that most parents agree with serving chocolate milk in cafeterias. Another fact found was that 75 percent of all the 1, 247 parents felt that although chocolate milk has added sugars, the benefits of the milk overrules it. This discovery tells me that the parents who took the survey don’t mind that sugar is in the chocolate milk, as long as their children get the nutrients and vitamins that they need.

Did you know that some students would not drink as much milk if chocolate milk was taken away from schools? Even Dr. James Rippe in an interview with KSL.com said, “Some students would be drinking a lot less milk if it weren’t flavored.” Furthermore this just goes to show that some kids prefer chocolate milk or other flavored milk over plain old white milk. Also most kids don’t go “look chocolate milk has a lot of sugar, I want that!”

First, it uses Pathos, which is an emotional appeal to the audience, when it states that drinking milk will give you results. These results are portrayed as helping you transform into leaner, thus attractive, build more muscle, thus stronger, and be more decisive, thus more successful. Second, it uses Logos, which is the reasoning part of the argument, when it states that if you eat right, exercise, and drink three glasses of milk a day instead of sugary drinks, then you will be lean and build muscle. The ad makes this reasoning more persuasive, by stating that studies have shown this to tend to be true for teens that do it. The phrase “tend to” helps to make this statement more logical by eliminating the absolute and permitting their statement to not be true in some instances.

For example, Miyun Park, the vice president for farm animal welfare at the Humane Society, explains, “Today, economic growth and development around the world are leading to a rise in the demand for animal products. According to the World Bank, increased global demand caused total meat production in the developing world to almost triple between 1980 and 2002- from 45 million to 134 million tons” (Park). With only an abrupt time to adapt to the demand, farmers don’t have time to improve their farms. Also, they need more animals to slaughter. So, the farms are usually overcrowded and unsanitary because the farmers are not thinking about what's best for the animals; they only think about the production speed and if they are slaughtering enough animals to pacify the demand.

But this isn’t what actually goes on. The following information is located in the “Vegucated” video on Youtube. Most cows we consume come from factories that place cows in a really confined space and feed them slaughterhouse remains, chicken coop waste, candy, corn, soy and plastic pallets. This isn’t just only cows, other animals such as pigs and chickens are treated the same or even worse. Mother pigs are placed in a cage in which they can

General Purpose: To persuade Specific Purpose: To convince my audience that a low Vitamin D level is a dangerous issue.

Moreover, I will provide them with solutions to keep Vitamin D at an optimum level. Method of Development: problem- solution.

provides several examples of logos, the appeal to logic. Using facts and statistics, such as the decline in FDA inspections from 50,000 in 1974 to only 9.164 in 2006, and how the market is heavily dominated by the top four beef packing companies controlling over 80% of the market today, where the top five companies only controlled approximately 25% of the market in the 1970’s, the documentary provides reliable data to strengthen its logical appeal. Food Inc. is a persuasive documentary that undoubtedly illustrates the corruption within the food industry that has been deliberately hidden from the American consumer. While this documentary does an excellent job of persuading their views and opinions using rhetorical structure with strong representations of ethos, pathos, and logos, it offers few ways to logically overcome the challenges imposed by the food industry. Consumers are urged to purchase locally grown meat and produce though this alone is not an end all to the corruption within the food

Animal’s Australia is Australia’s leading national animal protection organisation; they have a remarkable record for investigating and exposing any form of animal cruelty. (http://www.animalsaustralia.org/about/) Most cases of animal cruelty within the export industry is being exposed by Animal Australia, standing up for the rights and to ensure that the same level of animal welfare that is occurring in Australia is also being applied by the countries that receive the Australian livestock. Animals Australia has compiled a range of videos filmed by civilians showing Australian cattle being abused by trained workers in “Australian Approved” slaughterhouses. Case 1.

Cows, one of the most farmed animals in the world, are described as highly sentient and intelligent individuals with markedly different personalities (Bekoff). Not only are cows able to learn different tasks, solve complex puzzles, and discriminate between different people and animals, they also form strong bonds with their fellow cows. For females, the closest bond they form is with their calf - who is typically ripped away from its mother within 48 hours of suckling. The trauma this separation causes is extremely apparent, from calling to one another for days to pacing back and forth in an effort to be reunited. Alongside doubts about farm animals’ mental and emotional intelligence, the myth that animals can live a decent life and still be killed humanely for our consumption is unreasonable at best.

Valerie Wangnet's article introduces factory farming from the viewpoint of the livestock. She first tells an awful story of dairy cows bellowing all night long because their newborn calves had been removed for slaughter. This created an issue with nearby neighbors of the farm to which police released a statement claim that the cows were not in any distress. Wangnet chastises society for valuing the lives of some animals over that of others. She continues to compare the ways in which pets are treated compared to farm animals, and then lists the many cruelties that are inflicted upon farm animals.

Jackie also explains that just about any breed can be used for either a family milk cow or a beef cow. Before buying a calf everything should be set up for it so when it is brought home it is a quick transition to the new life. Housing a calf is very important; there must be a dry place for the calf to stay because dampness is the enemy to calves Jackie explains. She also says a calf can be raised in a ten by ten stall with a fenced in area outside for it to play and get exercise. A bottle with a nipple, the facilities being used, and milk replacer must be ready for the calf.

What is Veganism? A way of life that adopts a Vegan diet and believes harming animals for meat or products is wrong. Yet, people say vegans are the inhumane and unreasonable ones. Think about where the animals come from. They are not grazing around in a green field. Instead, they are being forced to lay eggs and get hormones injected into them to make them bigger. Is that really what you want in your body? Veganism is a kinder way of life, it’s better for the environment, and it helps your body in whole.
