Since the early stages of civilization, meat has been a staple in the dietary consumption known to humankind. The meat paradox is to like eating meat, but at the same time to dislike the act of killing and harming animals. This meat paradox challenges the morality and ethics of humans. Some vegetarians could have trouble with understanding this concept, where it is okay to eat meat from an animal, yet harming an animal is morally incorrect. The act of slaughtering an animal would seem cruel enough, no?
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.

Anticipating potential objections to my argument such as that eating meat harms health, wastes resources, causes deforestation, and creates pollution, I will respond by supporting my arguments for eating meat, drawing conclusions through evidence, and critical thinking. There are many fallacies that occur in the argument of the passage by Matthew Lee resulting in mistaken conclusions and a lack of validity and soundness. Lee’s argument of “Should We Eat Meat?” has not been developed through the application of reasoning, critical thinking, and drawing conclusions through evidence. Instead it is weak, unconvincing, and lacks supporting evidence. The author briefly addresses the common reasons for a vegetarian to support not eating meat such as morality, environmental issues, and health reasons.

I am not arguing that animals is not a subject of the basic principle of equality.

Macronutrients such as the vitamins and minerals must be acquired through food consumption. However, a group of individuals called vegetarians abstain from consuming meat, fish, poultry and sometimes even dairy products. Vegetarians have history and a plethora of debatable reasons for their decision to only restrict themselves to certain food groups. Many people ask me if it is difficult to live as a vegetarian. They presume that it must be boring eating meals that have little variety compared to eating non-vegetarians meals.
Dog-meat eating is a popular yet controversial activity in the Philippines. Dogs are deemed as pets to many Filipinos but are also seen as animals that are essential for the cultural aspect of some Filipino ethnicities. I, myself, had experienced consuming dog-meat and had no idea of its difference with pork. Dogs are abundant not only in Ilocos Sur but in the whole nation. The askal (short for asong kalye meaning street dog), a mongrel, is the breed usually seen around the nation.
