perception of animals’ lives I decided to give up meat and concentrate on eating plant-based foods for five days as a challenge to my ability to control cravings. Meat has been a part of my meals at least twice a day since I was a child. The motivations that led me into trying the vegetarian way included my father’s conversion into being a vegan and the information I have been receiving from various platforms that educate people on healthy diets and how to avoid lifestyle diseases. The main motivations for trying to take the meat off the plate include the environmental, ethical concerns, and health issues associated with eating meat (Moseley, 2017). Religious beliefs also influence the perception of animals’ lives, especially when considering the eastern traditions that are heavily influenced by Hinduism, Islam, and Judaism. The ability to shun meat has partly been motivated by the environmental concerns which include the forest covers that are cleared to make room for grazing, the increased carbon dioxide emission into the air, and the waste disposal mechanisms that release the animal waste…

The Food Security Challenge Food insecurity is a major social and economic condition that is characterized by limited access to food. In 2017, it was estimated that about forty million people in America were food insecure (Myers, et al. 259). One of the factors that have contributed to food insecurity in Florida is the climate. Over the years, climatic conditions have changed the farming pattern in different parts of the world. Some of the common crops grown in Florida include rice, wheat, and corn, and the climatic changes have contributed to changes in temperature levels as well as carbon dioxide. Increase in Carbon (IV) Oxide Levels The increase in the carbon (IV) oxide levels increases plant growth, while increased levels affect crop yields. It contributes to a reduction of protein and nitrogen content in crops, which leads to loss of quality. Additionally, it also reduces the nutrients contained in the crops by decreasing the protein as well as other essential minerals. Plants also lose their forage due to excess carbon IV oxide levels, which leads to a decrease in pasture…
Psychology (EATING DISORDERS) When the term “eating disorder” is used, we often think it is about food or a lifestyle choice. However, these are complicated physical and mental health conditions that require the help of medical and psychological experts.
