Going vegetarian?!?!?

Question

so i've been thinking for awhile that since i don't eat much meat should i go veggie??? i'm not sure of the pros and cons so if people who know could tell me it'd be much appreciated!!!

Answer 1

Sure, going vegetarian is an excellent way to protect your health, reduce animal suffering, and help preserve the environment.

Pros:

-Vegetarians live, on average, six to 10 years longer than meat-eaters.

-Vegetarians (as a group) have lower blood cholesterol levels; lower blood pressure; and lower rates of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and prostate and colon cancer.

-Vegetarians are less likely to be overweight or die from heart disease.

-Each vegetarian prevents the suffering and deaths of about 100 animals EVERY year!

-A vegetarian saves 1 acre of trees every year. Raising animals for food is very inefficient and wastes a lot of natural resources.

Cons:

-Some people will give you a hard time and try to argue with you about vegetarianism.

-It's not as convenient. (There aren't vegetarian fast food chains... but you can find veg options at many restaurants.)

I hope this helps!
