A Few Good Reasons To Go Vegetarian

Going vegetarian is the single-best thing we can do for ourselves and our families. Healthy vegetarian diets support a lifetime of good health and provide protection against numerous diseases, including our countrys three biggest killers: heart disease, cancer, and strokes. The American Dietetic Association states that vegetarians have lower rates of death from ischemic heart disease; lower blood cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure, and lower rates of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and prostate and colon cancer and that vegetarians are less likely than meat-eaters to be obese. Well-planned vegetarian diets provide us with all the nutrients that we need, minus all the saturated fat, cholesterol, and contaminants found in animal flesh, eggs, and dairy products.

This is an excellent video, which makes the main points, without going into too much detail or showing the more horrible images available.

how do i feed my cat and dogs? how do i feed my fish? they all eat other animals.... so uh, do we kill them off so we can live off vegetables?

[TheSeriousTruth]

@bigbobboi, funny I have had 3 dogs and 5 cats for the past 20 years and they don't eat other animals either. I get the recipies and supplements from (do t) vegepet (d ot) co m by the way, and cook for them myself. It's very easy and the pets are extremely healthy and live happily. You don't sacrifice one species for another if you can help it, any more than you don't rape or murder.

This is completely biased. Other animals eat meat, why shouldn't we?

[TheSeriousTruth]

@knoxiscool Jeez other animals like monkeys eat their own shit, so you can just follow their example, huh? The point of having our intelligence (except in your case), is for humans to follow a higher and more educated path than the rest of the animal kingdom.

There are so many 'different' vegetarians out there..what is your reason for going vegetarian? I'm going to start - my reason being I don't believe we should raise animals just to kill them, it's awful. But, what about other things? Like do you eat fish? Do you think its wrong to take milk from cows or eggs from chickens? Curious for your opinion.

Animals eat meat to stay alive. Humans don't need meat to stay alive!

I'm going to go Vegetarian soon. I am right now eating lots of veggies and shrimp.. I love shrimp.,.. every once in awhile chicken. But I'm pretty unhealthy. I'm hoping with this new lifestyle will make me become as healthy as I should be. Just looking at all the youTube videos I can for inspiration.

@TheSeriousTruth how does your cats even get enough protein, they are meat eaters and need a higher amount of protein intact than even dogs. if you are giving soy as a replacement protein, then you are doing something wrong. how do i feed my fish without feeding then, fish.

if i had a pet shark, how would i feed it? if i had a pet cheetah how would i feed it? if i had a pet blue whale how would i feed it?

I am not vegetarian but recently I have started to eat a lot less meat. Mostly peanut butter and jelly sandwiches now lol. It is wrong how we raise animals to just be slaughtered for food. That is not how the circle of life works. We have to manipulate the system because of our population and high demand for meat. People are just used to getting what they want. If there is money to be made someone is going to continue to do it, that's the sad truth.
