Abstract
This paper presents an argument in favor of vegetarian eating versus more conventional red-meat diets and highlights the various health benefits to be gained from a vegetarian diest. The paper emphasizes, not simply why vegetarians are healthier than meat eaters, but also explains why some groups in society are healthier than other groups.

From the Paper
"In an interesting online article, Julia Dombrowski and Jennifer Starkey report that people who consume salads in large quantities tend to have "above-average intakes" of vital nutrients such as vitamin C, E, lycopene, carotenoids and folic acid. The aforementioned twosome, summarizing the findings of a study published in the September 2006 edition of the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, also notes that each serving of salad consumed represents among women a "165 percent higher likelihood of (meeting) the recommended daily allowance for vitamin C" and a 119 percent greater likelihood among male subjects (Dombrowski & Starkey 2006, para.). While the evidence is not compelling that high dosages of vitamin C can actually cure cancer, most medical experts are agreed that a healthy diet containing large sums of fruits and vegetables - fruits and vegetables containing vitamin C as well as the other valuable nutrients highlighted above - is an excellent means of preventing the onset of cancer in the first place ("Vitamin C 'helps to fight Cancer'", 2005)."

Abstract
A paper which introduces and discusses the work of early American writer, Philip Freneau. The paper also discusses several of his poems, including, "The Wild Honey Suckle" and "The Indian Burying Ground."

From the Paper
"Freneau work almost seemed to come from two different men. One is the patriot, who passionately believed in freedom, and shared his views with the world. The other is the quiet, contemplative man, who wrote of the natural world, and tried to bring together his differing views on religion, politics, and life. He was certainly a forward thinking man, and if he struggled between religious and Deist beliefs, he let his poetry discuss his differences, and his political views express the rest of his feelings."
