Progress- Sections 1, Start of Section 2

This is a sample of what the actual content is reading like. Please give input so the final draft can be really good :)

Section 1) Health

All around the world, meat has become almost a daily necessity to maintain a healthy diet. Meat is pack full of proteins and fats that are essential to maintaining a well-balanced nutrition. Beef, pork, seafood, and poultry all have their benefits and drawbacks, but one thing is for sure… most humans love to eat meat. When it comes to the quality of the meat we consume, this raises a number of issues. Through out time, the affluent society has had their pick at the best quality meat. Depending on the health and raising techniques of livestock, the meat they carry will greatly vary ranging from the nutrients they can provide to the hormones they are fed.
Free-range livestock is supposed to be healthier because the animals aren’t given growth hormones and are left to feed on grass and wild greens rather then being fed slop that’s used to fatten them up. The problem with free-range livestock is the meat they produce is a a lot more expensive then traditional mass-breeding farms. This makes it extremely inaccessible to the average person living paycheck to paycheck. Farm raised livestock is the meat that we commonly consume everyday. From McDonald’s to the “on sale” beef at the grocery store, everyday we eat meat that is packed full of growth hormone, preservatives, and chemicals. The animals that are raised in these farms are packed tightly into stables, commonly defecate on themselves, and are butchered at slaughterhouses that use inhumane killing techniques.
So is there a solution to finding a cheap, high quality source of protein? The answer is YES! For years, vegans have been scrutinized by mainstream culture for not indulging in the primitive ritual of the hunt and kill; however, they have been able to maintain a diet considered to be one of the healthiest possible ways to eat. By maintaining consumption of strictly vegetables, grains, nuts, and fruit, vegans are packed full of essential vitamins and nutrients. You might say, “but what if I don’t want to give up eating meat? Vegans are a bunch of tree huggers!” But what if I were able to tell you that there is a way to get all the benefits of being a vegan without quitting flesh? Don’t eat vegan… instead, EAT VEGANS!!! The average American is full of to much trans-fat and cholesterol to make a balanced meal, but vegans are the solution. They are perhaps the most health conscious living beings on earth, and someday maybe a top player in what we consume in the food chain. Of course this is not to say that obtaining this precious meat is an easy task, but, in the sections to follow you will see guidelines and suggestions on how to best capture, prepare, and cook these delicacies.

Section 2) Supply
Step #1- How to get your vegans: methods of capture and containment, from feeding to breeding
There are two ways to obtain a supply of vegan livestock. The first method is coercion. If coercion does not work, the second method is capture. It can be hard to meet a vegan in a natural setting without actively searching for them in their habitat. Places to find vegans in the wild include music festivals, PETA meetings, drum circles, liberal college campus’s animal rights protests, ect. In certain parts of the country it may require some research to see which events are most prominent in your region. Once you have located a possible supply, you can proceed to enact one of the methods. The first method to be applied should be coercion. It is best to start with coercion first because a happy vegan is a healthy vegan. If you are to frighten a vegan too much, their anxiety will cause distress, which could in turn release harmful doses of hormones and lower the quality of the meat. With this method, consent is a must.
