Reasons for being a vegetarian:
1. Eating fatty meat increases your chances of having a heart attack or developing cancer. It's much easier to become - and stay - slim if you are vegetarian.
2. Every minute thousands of animals are killed for meat all over the world.
3. Meat contains absolutely nothing - that the human body cannot obtain from a vegetarian diet.
‘Meat sausage' can include the tail, head and inner parts of an animal.
4. Half the rainforests in the world have been destroyed to clear ground to graze cattle to make beefburgers. The burning of the forests contributes 20% of all greenhouse gases.
5. Every year 440 million tons of grain are fed to livestock - so that the world's rich can eat meat. At the same time 500 million people in poor countries are starving to death. Every six seconds someone in the world starves to death because people in the west are eating meat.
6. The world's fresh water shortage is being made worse by animal farming. And meat producers are the biggest polluters of water.
7. Some farmers use tranquilizers to keep animals calm. Others routinely use antibiotics to stave off infection. When you eat meat, you are eating those drugs. If you eat meat, you eat hormones that were fed to the animals. No one knows what effect those hormones will have on your health.
8. Eating dead animals is barbaric.
Reasons for not being a vegetarian:
1. Red meat is rich in vitamin B12.
2. Our ancestors ate meat.
3. Consumption of red meat can prevent certain deficiencies.
4. Vegetarianism does not necessarily help with weight loss.
5. Animal proteins increase thermogenesis more than vegetable proteins, so the best calorie-burning foods are lean meats.
6. If people don't eat meat, they will need more grain, fruit and vegetables. People will need more arable land for crops and forests will be cut down for these purposes.
Они приезжают сюда толпами. Каждые выходные они надевают свои спортивные костюмы, оставляют позади стрессы большого города и едут в горы. Здесь их ждут: свежий воздух, прекрасные виды, леса, реки, и, самое главное, множество ресторанов. Не позвольте спортивным костюмам одурачить себя. Часто их носят с высокими каблуками и ювелирными украшениями. «Я скажу Вам, какой у наших людей любимый вид спорта», — говорит владелец местного ресторана, — «сидеть за столом и кушать». Это не значит, что они не держат себя в форме. Некоторые весьма успешные на мировой арене атлеты были выходцами из этой страны, и Вы регулярно можете встретить на улицах городов людей, вышедших на пробежку. Но люди спокойно относятся к тренировкам. Даже те, кто находится в отличной форме, не относятся к этому как к чему-то серьезному. Это просто наслаждаться жизнью.
Hi Tom,
I hope this email finds you well. I recently learned about your exciting plans to embark on a train journey across Europe, and I must say, it sounds like a truly incredible adventure. As someone who loves train travel, I can understand your desire to explore different countries and experience the beauty of Europe from the comfort of a train compartment.
However, when it comes to your parents' concerns, I do believe they have some valid points to consider. Train journeys, especially long ones across multiple countries, can be quite challenging for a solo traveler, especially if it's your first time venturing out alone. There are various aspects to take into account, such as language barriers, unfamiliar customs, and potential safety concerns in certain areas. It's important to prioritize your safety and well-being while traveling, and your parents are understandably worried about that.
In light of their concerns, my advice would be to address them head-on. Take the time to research and plan your journey meticulously. Look into the train routes, the countries you'll be passing through, and the safety measures you need to take in each destination. Familiarize yourself with the local transportation systems, emergency contacts, and any specific precautions recommended for travelers. By demonstrating a well-prepared and responsible approach, you can help alleviate your parents' worries and show them that you are capable of taking care of yourself during this adventure.
On another note, I wanted to extend an invitation for you to visit my country during the summer holidays. It would be a fantastic opportunity for us to catch up and spend some quality time together. I suggest considering the period between July 15th and August 15th as the most convenient dates for me. However, I'm flexible, so let me know if those dates work for you or if there's an alternative timeframe that suits you better.
Remember, even if your parents' concerns seem restrictive at the moment, their intentions come from a place of love and care. Take the time to discuss their worries openly and honestly, addressing each point and assuring them of your responsible approach to travel. With proper planning and consideration, you may be able to reach a compromise that satisfies both parties and allows you to pursue your travel dreams while ensuring peace of mind for your parents.
Take care, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Warm regards,
(Твое имя)
