What is your belief on the statement "vegetarianism is a better way of life"?!


Question: What is your belief on the statement "vegetarianism is a better way of life"!?
I am researching vegetarianism for a topic in my high school!. I belief that being a vegetarian is healthier for an individual but what would be the ripple affect on the larger picture if everyone was a vegetarian!? Or maybe not eating meat could possibly not be as healthy as a steady meat & veggie diet!? plz give me your view on my issue :)Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
I've been vegetarian for 15 years and can testify that it's great for you (assuming you eat healthy)!. I haven't been sick in years, I'm a healthy weight, have nice skin and hair, and enough energy!. I was in the Army for a few years and could do all the physical things just fine, so vegetarianism doesn't make you weak! You can get every single nutrient you need from a plant-based diet, including protein and iron!. B12 can be taken from supplements or from dairy!. Albert Einstein said that the evolution of a vegetarian diet would be the single most beneficial change for the human race!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

A vegetarian diet is not a "healthier diet"--this is often incorrectly said!. ANY DIET can BE an unhealthy OR healthy diet; it is all in what foods you choose and how YOU personally restrict what you eat!. I know so many unhealthy vegetarians who just eat junk food and grilled cheese and ice cream all day!.!.!.Vegans can do the same thing too (I could just eat rice ice cream and chocolate teddy grahams and cereal all day!.!.hell, I do!)

Thus, a vegetarian diet in itself is not a diet plan or healthy alternative in any way!. A meat-eating diet could be healthy if you cook the meat right/healthy, watch what you eat, etc!.

It sounds like a good topic idea, but I recommend you not write the paper on it; a paper thesis should be backed by a strong argument and strong evidence, and I just blew your thesis/topic idea out the window!.

Maybe you could write how vegetarianism if beneficial to the environment and acts as a form of protest to the growing rate of abusive factory farms, which more and more are treating animals like machines and products rather than living things who just want to live normally with a family!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Any diet can be just as healthy as the next if you follow it correctly!. I've been a vegetarian for 5 years, but I have gained and lost weight just like any other diet!. I have many many foods to choose from, and I can choose to exercise or not, and choose which foods I eat!.

Vegetarianism as a whole!. Concerning the environment is better!. Especially if cattle raising becomes non-existent!. Food and water to feed animals in the first place is ridiculous, especially since it can be used for humans

A Vegetarian diet is non violent!.

No other food group has so many disguises as meat does!.
If McDonald's had on their menu instead of Hamburger, muscle tissue with nerves, less people would order it!.

People aren't born with a pack of matches!. If people had to eat meat raw, and couldn't add salt and herbs, they wouldn't like it!.

The amount of land it takes to feed animals for people to eat is much more than the land it would take to grow crops to feed people!.

If people at least just stopped eating red meat it would help the economy and the environment, and their health!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

If everyone went vegetarian, there would be a lot of surplus male calves and male chicks to deal with (presuming they wouldn't want to kill them) unless they went vegan!. If everyone became vegan then we could provide food for people in barren countries and slow down global warming because there wouldn't be any cows to fart so much gas!.

Erm, Krowzies, do you think I am typing this from beyond the grave!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

I know people do not need meat to live a healthy, happy, life!.!.If people do not need to murder, they should not!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

My belief is that it is bunk!. Better than what, Eating dirt!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Meat is good for you!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
