Gomez Martinez, Miguel. “Benefits of Eating Red Meat”. Contextoganadero, 24 October 2016.  www.contextoganadero.com/blog/beneficios-de-comer-carne-roja

This article explains the benefits of eating red meat. Although red meat has been associated with high cholesterol and saturated fats, the right cuts can be beneficial to a person. Thus, adding a serving or two of lean beef to the weekly diet is essential to gain some nutrients in the body. Red meat provides humans with proteins. The article indicates that a 3 oz serving of red meat provides half the required daily proteins in a human being. It is also a source of iron. The iron in red meat is readily absorbed compared to iron from plant-based foods. Lean red meat is also a source of Zinc, which is essential to build muscle mass, strengthen the immune system, and promote a healthy diet. It is also a source of vitamin B. This article is essential as it provides the benefits that may be derived from beef.

John Robbins in his book, The food revolution,  argues that diet is very essential in a person’s life. He indicates that a person’s diet can help them the person and the world as a whole. That is because eating healthy enables a person to increase their quality of life through increased nutrient uptake, strengthened immunity, and it promotes body strength.

Stinson and Bromerly study the effects of animals in their habitats The study identified that vegans promote the reduction of the impacts of animals and their habitats. That is because they do not consume any animal products. That ensures that the animals are not harmed. It also promoted the protection of the animal’s habitat. That is not only beneficial to the animals but also human beings. That is because it ensures that there is a sustainable ecology. The study is useful in this case. That is because it provides information that is relevant to the topic of discussion. The article will be used as a source of evidence in the topic under study. 

“The Carnivore’s Dilemma.” The New York Times, 2009

According to the article, there is an increase in the demand for meat not only in the US but also globally. To sustain the increased demand for meat, more animals have to be slaughtered in the world. Although meat is nutritious, the increasing demand for meat will lead to the reduction of the animals in the world, which would lead to adverse effects on the globe. Thus, people should turn to plant-based foods. The article supports veganism as a way of life. That is because, through veganism, people can still gain the nutrients that they seek from plant-based foods and also save the animals. Thus, the article contains information that is relevant to the topic under study. Thus, it will be used to supplement the information from the other sources. 

Zink, Katherine D. and Lieberman, Daniel E. “Impact of meat and lowe Palaeolithic Food Processing Techniques on Chewing in Human”. Nature, 09 March 2016

Paleolithic foods are foods that were consumed in the past and could be obtained through hunting and gathering. This article investigates the effects of the processing techniques that are used to process meat and other paleolithic foods. The article identified cooking as one of the ways to increase the efficacy of the food. Although in the past cooking was not common, it has increased the effectiveness of the food. For instance, well-cooked food ensures that the bacteria in the food is killed thus it is healthy for a person. The article will be used to supplement the information gathered from the other articles. That is because it is related to the topic. However, the article does not put much emphasis on the need for veganism.
