Should People Eat Meat ?

Should People Eat Meat ?

     Should people be allowed to eat meat? I really don't have a clear answer to this for so many

different reasons. Lets get into religious reasons first and then scientific reasons for this question.

Many people would ask "why would god create animals if humans are just going to kill them?" That's

 a really good question. Is killing an animal a sin or not? Humans probably don't care because eating

 meat has been a tradition for so many years. Thanksgiving food often contains meat,and

thanksgiving has been a tradition for so many years. 

     Hinduism is not with or against eating meat but the religious Hindus avoid meat. I am a Hindu

 myself and I noticed so many things for example the temple does not serve foods with meat in them

 and my grandmother doesn't eat meat for religious reasons. Saying no to this question "Should

 people eat meat?" is really complicated because saying yes will show disrespect to some cultures and

 saying no will just take away freedom. My answer is technically yes ,but this shouldn't be a law or

 state issue because freedom is important and it is also important that we respect all the cultures and

 traditions out there. A lot of religious people might say "whats the point of having animals in earth if

 they will just be destroyed" Some people believe that humans are supposed to be vegetarians but

science just won't agree with that for a lot of reasons. 
     Meat can be important to a human in so many ways for example protein, vitamin B-12 and

 calcium may be important to a human diet. There is no proven health benefits for eating meat, keep

 in mind that too much of something may be bad for you. Some people believe that eating meat will

 cause obesity, diabetes and other health issues but there is no evidence to support that. There are

some studies that show that vegetarians have a lower risk of cancer than meat eaters. Well here are

 some ridiculous facts that people still believe about eating meat, Meat makes you fat, Meat rots your

 colon, meat is harmful and will most likely cause cholesterol, Surprised yet? meat doesn't even cause

 cancer, then why does research say that meat eaters have higher chances of getting cancer than

 vegetarians, well it is true that processed meat may cause cancer so don't get confused.

     We learned that there are so many myths about eating meat and most of the health benefits don't

 have evidence for it. My answer to "should people eat meat" is yes because saying yes will allow

 some people to eat meat and others to avoid it. It is important that we all respect everyone's cultures

 and traditions. Thanks for reading!

Percy Jackson vs Teenagers

Teenagers vs Percy Jackson


     Percy Jackson is a great book for teenagers, adults and children but for this article we will focus

on how the Percy Jackson series relates to teenagers so please continue reading, this article may relate

to you in a way. One way Percy Jackson relates to teenagers is how wisely he makes his choices,

we've all made choices like him but our choices took much more effect because Percy is a fictional

character. If Percy was real, his choices would control the future of the universe because he has to

deal with things related to god. A lot of us have or has had stress before, Percy has more stress

because he has to deal with evil monsters and saving Olympus but lets face it, he's fictional so there

are no real examples but to realize that stress and hard choices are normal and it has happened to

everyone in different points of views. Stress is normal!

     Now lets get into how Percy makes his decisions! Percy thinks before doing something. Percy

also has ADHD which is bad thing in reality but he somehow manages to stay on task and complete

his missions or journeys. This shows us that ADHD is keeping Percy on task. The Prophecy in Percy

Jackson: Sea Of Monsters states that Percy's choices will most likely destroy Olympus but it never

said it will destroy it so that shows the reader that "plan wisely and don't zone out". "You only get

one shot do not miss your chance to blow, this opportunity comes in a lifetime yo...- Eminem". This

story has nothing to do with Eminem but we can relate to the quote because if Olympus is destroyed

then the universe is destroyed so there's only one shot to fix that, Percy also has decisions that choose

the faith of Olympus and he gets no more than one.With great power comes great responsibility,

that's probably one reason why Percy has to deal with a lot of things.

     From reading Percy Jackson books we learn that trust is important because sometimes the person

you trust may just turn out to be your worst enemy. Dealing with backstabbers, There was one thing I

learned, They're only powerful when you've got your back turned- Eminem, I found this to be a very

smart quote based on Percy Jackson and the lightning thief. I also learned that stress and hard

decisions are something we all go through but sometimes it may get way too serious. I also learned

that slacking off during a serious job is unacceptable for example in Percy Jackson and the lightning

thief, Percy and his friends went to look for a gem but they got too consumed by the casino and ended

up spending over 3 days. Be sure to read Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief, this article will be

understood more clearly. 

    In this last paragraph I will talk about what is learned in the book. You only need to read one book

to clearly understand what I'm saying. I learned that we all have to deal with stress, responsibility

, decisions and probably trust issues. By reading Percy Jackson the reader will understand how to

deal with the four things I've discussed which are trust, responsibility, stress and hard decisions. It is

also important to have  focus on serious jobs because they can really slip. Hope you enjoyed reading

this article and be sure to read a book from the Percy Jackson series, I would recommend starting

with lightning thief which is the first book. Thanks for reading!
