Now, some vegans are self- Submit this story righteous, lecturing, soap-boxing, holier-than- thou activists.

However, most of the vegans I know are soft-spoken, loving, kind, compassionate and TAKE CARE OF YOUR SMILE committed to living a life that is kind to all beings and to the planet. It's a powerfully simple sentiment imbued with only good intentions.

Just read the comments on this very website whenever an article talking about ZIP Code veganism is posted. They can make your hair curl! The rage and indignation over Insurance (optional) someone's endorsement of a plant-based diet is mind-boggling to me. It has made me stop and think what this rage is all about. Being openly vegan all these Fiind a dentiist converted by Web2PDFConvert.com years, I am often in the company of people who feel the need to justify their food choices. I wish I had a nickel for every "I don't eat as much red meat as I used to" that I hear during a social gathering. PRESENTED BY FIBER ONE As a food and health activist, I am deeply committed to healthy food choices for all people. Wholesome foods and clean water are the birthright of all Americans ... all world citizens. But because as a society we depend so heavily on an animal-based diet, no small number of people are denied that very basic right. But I am not sure that the anger is about guilt or justification. Georges Ohsawa, a Japanese philosopher once said that when we take more than our fair share of food, we damage all of humanity with our greed. In my view, when we choose to eat commercially manufactured meat (yes, manufactured because there ain't anything natural about factory farming), we contribute to world hunger. We deprive people of food because acre after acre of land is farmed to produce animal food and animals for food. 11 Diet 'Rules' You Can Absolutely, Positively Break You can say we should be eating like our Paleolithic ancestors. You can say that Quick Read | Comments | NaN.NaN.NaN commercial agriculture is also to blame for the razing of land and pollution (you would be right, but not to the degree animal food production does). You can say that it's different for you because you only eat meat from a small family farm and meat production is the lifeblood of the small rural farm. Without meat, they would go under (a stretch ... there are MOST POPULAR lots of things they can grow besides producing meat and dairy, but farmers produce what the market demands). I don't believe that any of these things prove that we are not overly Danny Lost 200 Pounds: 'It Was Time dependent on animal products as a society. For The Biggest Change Of My Life' According to the Food and Agriculture Organization, "producing animal-based food is typically much less efficient than the harvesting of grains, vegetables, legumes, seeds and fruit for direct human consumption." The chefs, farmers and sustainable food producers at Sustainable Table add that most water pollution from industrial farms results from the storage and disposal of animal waste. Ultimately, producing meat is not so healthy for the planet. And for us? Well, not so much either. First Patient Fitted With Carmat Artificial Heart Dies 75 Days After Operation So is it collective guilt that makes people so mad at vegans and the idea of eating a plant- based diet? I have seen mean-spirited comments on blogs posts supporting veganism that range from telling the author to "man up" to vegan members of food co-ops being accused of having "an agenda" because they do not want to sell meat. The comments range from fear-mongering warnings about vitamin B-12 deficiency (and other nutritional deficits of a plant-based diet) to the rationalization that "animals, including their use as food, are a necessary component of sustainable agriculture" according to a UN report -- a quote that is taken out of context. The Healthiest Picks At The Sushi The UNEP report from June 2010 calls for reduced meat consumption and a move toward Counter a plant-based diet to curb pollution and sustain population growth. http://www¬.unep.fr/s¬hared/publ¬ications/p¬df/DTIx126¬2xPA- Prior¬ityProduct¬sAndMateri¬als_Report¬.pdft So I am back to my original question: Why do people get so mad at the idea of living a healthy, compassionate life and not harming animals or other living things in the process of doing so? I know there will be comments on this piece about how unhealthy a vegan diet is for This Is What A Migraine Feels Like people. There may even be links to the recent New York Times article that gorillas in Uganda do not experience obesity or other 'lifestyle' diseases because of their high protein diet, with an intake of protein akin to an Atkins-style diet -- 17 percent of their daily calories to be exact. And where does that protein com from? "Protein-rich leaves dominate the gorilla's diet." Not so Atkins-like after all. You won't see gorillas chowing down on Big Macs (without the buns, in true Atkins style). And while the typical high protein diet, like the one developed by Dr. Atkins also supports the eating of green leafy veggies, it's hardly that diet that keeps The Best Parts Of Fruits And Veggies gorillas from the grips of obesity. It's the plants they eat. You're Not Eating (But Should Be) In the end, I have come to the conclusion that the derision and ire evoked by articles about veganism is simply a reaction to expressing an opinion that differs from the mainstream. I believe these reactions will continue to proliferate as long as we keep being told that meat is a necessary component of human health. You don't hear health experts advising the country to eat more meat. On the contrary, most converted by Web2PDFConvert.com evidence suggests that the more plant food we eat, the greater the chance we have of living free of the "lifestyle diseases" that plague our culture today.

  • Contemporary Visions of the New Woman in Korean Literature by Mikayla George, Junior, Media the Concept Of
    Contemporary Visions of the New Woman in Korean Literature By Mikayla George, junior, Media The concept of the “new woman” arose as a phenomenon in the early 20th century, emerging in Korea during the Japanese colonial period. This archetype was defined by a romanticism of the female as the most marginalized member of society, who could gain agency through modernization. In the Korean context, the new woman was associated with Westernization and modernity, and over time became ostracized and thought of as a negative consequence of modernity (Kim, 52). In contemporary Korean literature such as The Vegetarian by Han Kang, the colonial new woman archetype manifests in an individual whose disregard of traditional values leads to destructive consequences. Yeong-hye from The Vegetarian embodies the new woman through her subversion of traditional gender expectations and her struggle for bodily autonomy which culminates in a moment of transcendence of societal norms. In The Vegetarian, Yeong-hye’s subversions of gender norms are simultaneously fetishized and criticized, which echoes the treatment of new women during the colonial period. During the pivotal family dinner scene in Part I of the novel, Yeong-hye’s father forces a piece of meat into her mouth after slapping her and yelling at her repeatedly (Han 48). This moment of violence embodies not only her family and father’s disapproval of her transgression, but also the specific disapproval of her actions from men, and thus patriarchal society as a whole. This is represented through her father telling Yeong-hye’s husband and brother to hold her still when he force feeds her (Han 46).

  • UK Yoga Teachers' Beliefs About Farmed Animals and Attitudes To
    animals Article Yoga, Ahimsa and Consuming Animals: UK Yoga Teachers’ Beliefs about Farmed Animals and Attitudes to Plant-Based Diets Jenny L. Mace * and Steven P. McCulloch Centre for Animal Welfare, The University of Winchester, Sparkford Road, Winchester SO22 4NR, UK; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +44-(0)789-679-3332 Received: 14 February 2020; Accepted: 9 March 2020; Published: 13 March 2020 Simple Summary: Yoga is a holistic discipline originating in ancient India. Yoga has links with Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism based on a shared philosophical framework of unity with all beings and belief in ahimsa, meaning non-harming. There is debate in the international yoga community about the spiritual, ethical and health-related links between yoga and plant-based diets. This questionnaire-based research investigates the beliefs about the moral status of farmed animals and attitudes towards plant-based diets of UK yoga teachers. The research found that: (i) UK yoga teachers have very progressive beliefs about farmed animals; (ii) around 30% of UK yoga teachers follow a plant-based diet, which is 25 times the proportion in the general UK population; (iii) nearly 75% desire to follow a plant-based diet; (iv) over two thirds regard plant-based diets as best aligned to their yogic practice; and (v) UK yoga teachers with more progressive beliefs about farmed animals and greater knowledge of agriculture abstain from consuming animal products to a greater extent. The high proportions of UK yoga teachers following vegetarian and plant-based diets, relative to the wider population, are likely based on applying the principle of ahimsa, or non-harming, to farmed animals and abstaining from consuming their products.

  • Transformation from Innocence in the Novel the Vegetarian by Han Kang
    © 2019 JETIR March 2019, Volume 6, Issue 3 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) Transformation from Innocence in the Novel The Vegetarian By Han Kang Dr. B.S. ARUN, M.A., M.Phil., Ph.D Assistant Professor, Department of English, Erode Arts and Science College (Autonomous) Erode – 638009. Abstract The Vegetarian touches the most delicate themes with great sensitivity, skill, and insight, and the combination of these three first published in 2007 and translated in English in 2015 by Deborah Smith, won the Man Booker International Prize in 2016 and received international acclaim. Han Kang, the South Korean author, had won several prizes already, including the Yi Sang Literary Prize and the Korean Literature Novel Award, emerging as one of the most significant contemporary East Asian authors. The Vegetarian follows the story of a South Korean woman, Yeong-hye, who decides to become a vegetarian after having a series of disturbing dreams about meat. This paper entitled “Transformation from Innocence in the Novel The Vegetarian by Han Kang” narrates Yeong-hye’s transformation. The Vegetarian by Han Kang is a heart-shattering story which leaves its readers with a rather strong feeling of unease. As it becomes obvious from the name of the book, the plot is focused on a woman who turns vegetarian. However, this story is not about dieting or healthy eating, the novel is more about people’s cruelty and violence. South Korea is becoming a major player in the world’s literary scene, beginning with last year’s London Book Fair, which spotlighted Korean literature. In particular, the country’s literary scene is making a name for itself with dark, transgressive fiction by female writers, some of which might not feel familiar or likable enough for American readers but they’re well worth the challenge.

THE FLOWERING OF HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS: AN ECOFEMINIST READING OF HAN KANG’S THE VEGETARIAN AND THE FRUIT OF MY WOMAN RINCY CHANDRAN 1 & GEETHA R. PAI 2 1Department of English and Languages School of Arts and Sciences Amrita University Kochi Kerala India 2Assistant Professor Department of English and Languages School of Arts and Sciences Amrita University Kochi Kerala India ABSTRACT Ecofeminism as a theory is based on the oppression of women and the oppression of nature that are fundamentally linked. It depicts movements and philosophies that link feminism and ecology. It claims that, if women understand nature, it is due to their common experience of exploitation. This paper projects, how the concept of ecofeminism, which was originally postulated in the West, is reflected in Han Kang’s The Vegetarian and The Fruit of my Woman. The aim of the paper is to analyze and interpret the textual and conceptual essence of ecofeminism in the aforementioned works. To achieve this, it is important to examine the relevant ecofeminist theories and perspectives. The introduction explores the history and principles of ecofeminism. It investigates man’s colonization of nature and woman’s body. Moreover, it discusses the exploitation of woman and nature by considering both as objects. Furthermore, this paper investigates how the works add a new dimension to ecofeminist discourse. The female characters in these South Article Original Korean works are victims of male domination. The paper shows how women and nature are oppressed by the patriarchy in the same way and how women and nature, both are showing resistance towards this dominance in their own ways.
