Top Ten Reasons to Be a Vegetarian

I LOVE animals and I believe eating meat is wrong Amen to "Think to yourself how is it any different eating a pig/cow than eating your dog or cat."I mean meat may be good but we don't have to have it right"?! Please think abot this I mean I'm not telling you to stop eating meat or keep eating meat that's your choice not mine its your life not mine. But remember All Lives Matter even animals lives matter just as much as you or me or your family as much as anybody's life matters to you or me.Please think about this... Thank you and have a good day or night or evening or afternoon wherever you are just have a good one. Bye~~

The Worldwatch Institute said that animal agriculture releases 51% of the greenhouse gases which is just under 4 times the amount released by all modes of transportation combined.

Photosynthesis works by taking in carbon dioxide and water to produce oxygen and glucose with the help of light energy and chlorophyll. So it actually removes the carbon dioxide thus releasing less carbon dioxide than animals.

This is really the biggest reason I stay veggie nowadays. Meat is absolutely horrific for the environment. It emits the same amount of greenhouse gases as all transportation (cars, buses, trains), takes up the land in the U.S. and destroys that land after time too.

The way I see it, is that we are fortunate enough to be able to live well without meat. So why continue eating something with essentially zero upsides in the long run?

I mean this because humans used to have to eat meat because it was high in calories and we needed to feed our brains. We can get those calories elsewhere now and it will be significantly better for your health.

The main point. But then for us humans, it's all the matter for good taste. Temptations sure is a bad thing.
Being vegetarian isn't hard, preventing yourself from yielding to the temptation of tasting good meat is what is actually hard. That's coming from a vegetarian.

We can reduce the chance of certain types of disease, but having a varied diet also reduces some others too. We will be missing nutrients that cannot be obtained from plants, too much cellulose will get stuffed to us when we eat beans etc. You can live longer, but you will not have the chance to savour the meat

Specifically, we have dramatically reduced chances of getting various cancers, cardiovascular disease, heart disease, liver failure, and so on... And live an average of 9 years longer than our meat-eating counterparts.

Do you know what is in those things? Dregs of pork, beef and chicken being ground together, reduced quite literally to a pulp and then re-formed into a dog. My gut churns at the thought of chickens, pigs, and cows being put together.

Honestly, I used to love meat when I was younger. About a month after I turned 13, I started to notice it didn't taste good anymore. I'm 15 now and I've never eaten meat since then.

I do agree on the hot dog comment... I am a carnivore basically but I don't like hotdogs either... They are the left over scraps.

There's more than that. Back in the day, we had to quickly adapt to eating meat because our large brains demand so much energy, so we HAD to eat meat to survive. Yet our bodies never quite caught up. Our intestines and bowels aren't made to eat meat. If we were true omnivores, we would be able to eat meat without having to cook it or cover it in plant sauces to make it edible. Our teeth are identical to herbivores in nature (including our basically-useless canines) and as previously noted, meat is bad for our bodies. We can eat meat, but we're not made to.

Both vegetarians AND meat eaters can change the world for the better.

This includes Abraham Lincoln, and Gandhi. Two men who changed the world for the better

We deport grain and other foods for the slaughter house animals from places like Africa, if we shut down slaughter houses cows, sheep, pigs and the such would provide for themselves and live a long life of freedom, and the grain would be given to kids to eat.

We currently produce enough grains to feed 11,000,000,000 people. The 1,000,000,000 people who are starving is due to the fact that our grain goes to fatten up farm animals instead.

Dude, starving kids in Africa kill animals and humans for food. All this is bad but they have to do it to survive.

Being a vegetarian gives you a bigger chance to experience the amazing vegetarian food, and it's a lot better than meat.
