Being a Vegetarian is all about choice

A lot of people who are not vegetarian often asked or thought about what made vegetarians to easily give up eating meat and actually tried a new way of eating which is being a vegetarian, Actually there are various reasons with all of this questions. Most vegetarians has their own reasons and most of them has similar reasons why they started it.Most of these vegetarians say that they become a vegetarian, for one or three reasons.

The very first main reason vegetarians claim is that they kind of have problem with eating meat/ ethical problem. A lot of people disagree how chickens has been beaten, lived in very tiny cages, or the way these chicken has been slaughtered if they can't produce that much eggs compare to other chickens. Most vegetarians disagree with animals that are not in good condition or environment, like crowded cages. Or they use hormone laden feed so that these animals will grow bigger, faster and therefore produce more, Vegetarians who have these reasons has their own boundaries of course it depends on their beliefs, for an instance, some vegans doesn't take food that has yeast on it or they don't eat specific food.

there are other vegetarians that are called pseudo-vegetarians. They actually eat chicken or fish on a regular basis

Another main reason why vegetarians doesn't like to eat meat, is because meat conflicts with their diet preferences. It simply conflicts on how they eat meat. Like for example, some vegetarians just doesn't like the taste of meat, the texture of it, or maybe because they thought that meat is very high in cholesterol, it has high-concentrations of preservatives, So they don't eat meat because they don't like to.

There are still some minor reasons why they chose to be a vegetarian, I have nothing against it, It's good for your health, and you don't hurt anyone. So i guess being a vegetarian is all about choice.

Understanding Vegetarian


Most of us right now are getting interested in becoming a vegetarian, when you say vegetarian, these are the people who only eats small amount of meat or no-meat at all, but only vegetables.
Being a vegetarian is good for our health it can prevent us from saturated fats and cholesterol exposure that can lead to heart disease and cancer. Leading health experts agree that 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 world's three biggest killers: heart disease, cancer, and strokes. 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 and also for those who are gaining weight it becoming a vegetarian can help loose weight. This is a good thing to prevent us from pesticide and other contaminants intake especially for those women who breastfeed. Compared to meat, vegetables are way cheaper. We can also avoid too much animal killings if most of us are going to be vegetarian.
