If you really accomplished it, would you know your reasons for turning to vegetarianism? Could it be to: Give Animals A Good Existence - Enjoy A Healthier Life - Think About Global Warming Issues?
Research studies, that support the theory that most meats are a potential health hazard, are persuasive. However, there are nutritious vegetarian dishes, that will be healthy options to the meat that is alien to a vegetarian diet.
Vegetarians are far less likely to get heart disease, cancer, osteoporosis, or diabetes. Also, they are much less liable to be clinically obese. Vegetarians do not ingest germs latent in dead animals, or remnants of the drugs that were in some perverse way used to keep them alive.
Food scandals have been evidenced in numerous countries, but the bigger scandal is when they are hushed up. There was a junior minister, who was forced to resign and discredited, for telling the truth about salmonella and eggs. Don't know whether the good lady is vegetarian! Nevertheless, it isn't only the eggs that are responsible for the illness, but the chickens as well. We are advised about not letting them come into contact with other foodstuffs, for fear of cross contamination. Vegetarians never buy the chickens, so they are not at risk.
There are more reasons for converting to being a vegetarian, than defending yourself from becoming ill. What about the poor animals. Were we really born to cram chickens into cages, with hardly any room to shift about? Afterwards debeak them to prevent them from pecking one another, and fill them full of drugs, to try to prevent them from getting diseases, from the foul situation forced on the unfortunate creatures.
Vegetarians are aware that it's not just poultry, but many other animals that are subjected to the conditions of intensive farming techniques. Everyone ought to be grateful to the oft-criticized media, because they frequently do bring attention to these matters, and highlight some issues that some would much prefer to cover up.
Fortunately, there has been a good deal of publicity focussed on global warming, which is undoubtedly of grave concern, as much to vegetarians as anyone. Nevertheless, it is not generally appreciated that animal waste is a significant part of the problem. It is estimated that US farm animals create more than 100,000 kilograms of waste every second. That is twenty times as much as humans. This effluent is a gaseous substance, that adds to the methane dispersing into the atmosphere from the orifices of these creatures. Of course if more people became vegetarian, less animals would be needed. Therefore, it is evident that there are ecological reasons, and not just humane factors for turning to vegetarianism.
