**Combine my Ethos with Attention Grabber.....*Why should my audience listen to me? Explain my Ethos: I went to the doctor and was told that I was extremely overweight at over 500 lbs., and that my blood pressure was extremely high.

And on top of that, I had an extreme pain in my leg, which caused me to limp. The doctor said in a nutshell, I have to lose weight…or else.

VEGETARIAN*The Big idea: No more Steaks and Ribs…Become a “VEGETARIAN”- “it’s the only way to “LIVE”.

EXERCISE***Extra info on supporting the MAIN IDEA..

NORED MEAT

*Supporting point 1. As famed physician Dr. Oz stated on the Oprah show, “Red meat actually rots in your stomach before it digests, which takes place 2 or 3 days after you eat it. Veggies, on the other hand, only take 12 hours to digest.

LIFE CHANGE

*Supporting point 2. Although a vegetarian diet is not inherently a weight loss diet, it is a life change. It is also true however, that adults and children who follow a vegetarian life style are generally leaner than non-vegetarians.

NUTRITION* Supporting point 3. The Brown University Health Education dept. says, “Vegetarian foods are a major source of nutrition, and vegetarians have lower rates of heart disease and some forms of cancer than Non-Vegetarians.
