Im a vegetarian and no matter what people say about eating meat I don't think they can justify it.
The Health Reason
Medical studies prove that a vegetarian diet is easier to digest, provides a wider ranger of nutrients and imposes fewer burdens and impurities on the body. Vegetarians are less susceptible to all the major diseases that afflict contemporary humanity, and thus live longer, healthier, more productive lives. They have fewer physical complaints, less frequent visits to the doctor, fewer dental problems and smaller medical bills. Their immune system is stronger, their bodies are purer, more refined and skin more beautiful.
The Ecological Reason
Planet Earth is suffering. In large measure, the escalating loss of species, destruction of ancient rainforests to create pasture lands for live stock, loss of topsoils and the consequent increase of water impurities and air pollution have all been traced to the single fact of meat in the human diet. No decision that we can make as individuals or as a race can have such a dramatic effect on the improvement of our planetary ecology as the decision not to eat meat.
Most of my family are vegetarians except for my brother who has went over to the dark side of Buffalo wings, even my friend Jake has decided to stop eating beef and I expect him to uphold what he said even though he works at McDonalds. The only bad things is that vegetarian substitute foods for meat are so expensive although many of my friends say that they taste better than the real meat it is imitating in tofu. Anyways everyone will have to be vegetarians sooner or later because of the earths rising population, yay us :D Its also great because vegetarians dont have to worry about all those animal diseases going around now days. Mad Cow disease, Chicken Flue disease, angry killer Black Death diseases you know what Im talking about.
