The only way to know the pros and cons is to try it and see how it suits your lifestyle.
I would say being a vegetarian is much easier.

Dis-benefits is not a word.

Benefits- healthiest diet in the world.
Cheaper than dairy and meat diets
does not contribute to pollution like meat and dairy
takes less earth resource.
does not create a world of agony and torture for animals ( we share this place with them)
does not create heart disease and colon cancer- saves on healthcare costs
less energy used in the home to fridgerate and cook your food.


dis-benefits- none.

a vegan diet is only harmful when the person is irresponsible with his/her diet. a well planned vegan diet is just as healthy as a healthy omnivore or vegetarian diet. the ONLY synthetic substitute you need is b12, and you only need it in VERY small amounts (your body stores it for years) and most cereals are fortified with b12, as are many soy milks, most energy drinks, and nearly all nutritional yeast.

Benefits: Healthier, saving animals, saving money, knowing you do not eat dead animals, helping global warning, feeling stronger and revived.
Dis-benifits: Not getting B-12 vitamin (you can take a supplement)

That is basically the only disadvantage! Check out this website, its gives a lot of info on vegetarianism! I have been a vegetarian for about 4 months and i love it!
