Topic: Vegetarians. General purpose: To inform. Specific Purpose: To inform my audience about two top types of Vegetarians. Central Idea: There are two top types of Vegetarians: vegetarian and vegan. Introduction There are vegetarians all over the world. They just want what most people want: good food and a choice. And some people become vegetarians because of their religion, their culture, and the place they live. There are different kinds of vegetarians. Some vegetarians do not eat beef or red meet, but they eat chicken and fish.
Some do not eat red meat, chicken and fish, but they eat cheese, butter, eggs, milk, and other animal products. Other vegetarians do not use anything that comes from an animal. Some don’t wear wool because it harms the sheep, don’t use silk because it hurt silkworms, and don’t eat honey because they do not want to hurt bees. Other vegetarians only eat vegetables; however, they do not kill plants. For examples, they will not eat carrots or potatoes because when they pick them, the plant dies. They will eat apples or pears because picking them does not harm the plant.
Some vegetarians do not kill or hurt any animals – not even fly or a mosquito! Can you believe? There are many different types of vegetarians, and there are many different people, who are vegetarian. According the research of Vegetarian Research Group in 2012 the number of Americans who are vegetarian is about 8. 8 million. Connective: Today I would like to tell you about two top types of vegetarians: the first is vegetarian and the second one is vegan. 1. The first group is vegetarian. A. Pescatarian.
The world “pescatarian” is occasionally used to describe those who abstain from eating all meat and animal flesh wish the exception of fish. B. Flexitarian/Semi-vegetarian is a term recently coined to describe those who eat a mostly vegetarian diet, but occasionally eat meat, but only chicken and fish. C. The next is Lacto-ovo-vegetarian. 1) Lacto-vegetarian is used to describe a vegetarian who does not eat eggs, but does eat dairy products. 2) Ovo-vegetarians refer to people who do not eat meat or dairy products but do eat eggs. Connective: I have spoken so far of vegetarians’ types.
Let’s move to another group. 2. The second group is vegan. A. Veganism excludes all animal flesh and products, such as milk, honey, and eggs, as well as items refined or manufactured through any such products, such as sugar, some wines or animal-tested baking soda. B. Raw veganism includes only fresh and uncooked fruits, nuts, seeds, and vegetables. Vegetables can only be cooked up to a certain temperature. C. The next is fruitarianism – permits only fruits, nuts, seeds, and other plants matter that can be gathered without harming the plant.
Conclusion So, there are many different types of vegetarians. And probably just as many definitions. As a fact, vegetarians today are everywhere. They belong to different social groups in both rich or poor countries. In parts of the world such as Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia, meat is uncommon, and therefore it is an easy choice to be vegetarian. Surveys show that in both the United States and Britain about 4% of population is vegetarian. More and more people are choosing vegetarianism every day.
Many people became vegetarian for health reasons. They look and feel better when they stop eating meat. Some famous vegetarians include Leonardo da Vinchi, Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, Leo Tolstoy, Brad Pitt, Sylvester Stallone, Paul McCartney, Penelopa Cruz, and Madonna. Bibliography: 1.
