ADVANTAGES OF A VEGETARIAN DIET

ADVANTAGES OF A VEGETARIAN DIET

1. It tends to be lower in cholesterol. High cholesterol diets tend to clog the arteries, increasing the risk of coronary artery disease.

2. It tends to be lower in fat. The typical high fat American diet leads to obesity, heart disease, and other ailments.

3. It tends to contain more complex carbohydrates and fiber (things which decrease the risk of heart disease and cancer).

4. It contains fewer toxins. Hundreds of man-made chemicals are placed in the feed of livestock or injected into their bloodstreams (steroids and other growth hormones, antibiotics, fertility drugs, etc.). All of these chemicals wind up in the animal flesh the consumer purchases.

5. It can be cheaper (have you ever compared the prices of vegetarian entrees at a restaurant with the prices of meat entrees?).

6. It is better for the environment. Millions of acres of forest are cleared every year to create pastures for cattle to graze in.

7. It is kinder to animals. The era when men when out into the wild and killed animals in order to survive is over. At that time, animals lived free until they were killed by man.
Today they are artificially inseminated and suffer terribly in factory farms.

There is nothing "natural" about eating meat anymore.
