Vegetarianism 

Essay No. 01

Vegetarianism is a good idea for anyone, whether young or old, healthy or sick. Reasons supporting vegetarianism are inarguable since becoming a vegetarian is scientifically proven to improve one’s lifestyle in several different ways. First and most importantly to many, vegetarianism improves one’s health tremendously. Secondly, it can improve or display one’s spirituality and beliefs. Another reason for changing to a vegetarian lifestyle that most people don’t know is for the ecology and our surroundings. All of the above reasons and many more show that vegetarianism is a wonderful enhancement to anyone’s overall life.

Health should be a considerable priority in every individual’s life and vegetarians are proven to be healthier than carnivorous humans in various ways. First, medical studies show that a human being’s body was not made to be carnivorous (for example; humans have no fangs or claws) and because our digestive system was not made to digest meat, a vegetarian diet is much easier and healthier for our bodies. Secondly, as known around the world, the most common cause of death is heart attack and the average man is at a 50% risk while a vegetarian man is at a 4% risk. Another fact most don’t think about is that every one out of three chickens is infected with salmonella bacteria. Speaking of bacteria and disease, the U.S. Department of Agriculture implies that it protects meat-eaters through regular and thorough meat inspection while in reality, fewer  than one out of every 250,000 slaughtered animals is tested for toxic chemical residues. As a matter of fact, breast milk of a meat-eating mother versus a non meat-eating mother is 35 times higher for contamination of milk due to pesticides found in meat. Vegetarianism also prevents cancer by 50%, and prevents heart disease, lowering blood pressure, gallstones, kidney stones, osteoporosis and can even reverses diabetes. Finally, maintaining a vegetarian diet will not only make you physically healthier but will improve your psychiatric health also. In fact, many psychiatrists recommend a vegetarian diet to those with violent anger problems. As provided above, becoming a vegetarian would improve anyone’s health and give all nutrition needed including protein. Many vegetarians do what they do for spiritual reasons and all have much supporting logic behind all the spirituality. Others claim they are spiritual people who are compassionate but how can one who eats meat be so with the knowledge of the suffering animals whose pain are beyond calculation? If one has understanding from God, how can he/she nourish oneself by the misery and death of other organisms made to live and be free? When a human kills an animal for food, he/she is neglecting his own hunger for justice. When a human claims to love God’s creatures and then eats meat, he/she is inconsistent and a hypocrite. One should never accept characteristics such as injustice, inconsistency and hypocrisy while asserting spirituality.

There is another beneficial reason for vegetarianism that most never have heard of or thought about. Our environment is affected in many ways by livestock and so on. In fact, every quarter pound of hamburger meat one eats destroys 55 square feet of rainforest, which is already being demolished in the first place. This is because many cattle eaten in the U.S. have been fattened up and raised in former rainforest that was converted to grazing ground. Actually, more than 50% of rainforest destruction has been from animal grazing. Other than the destruction of rainforest, more than half of all water supplies goes to livestock production. Vegetarianism could even improve our world by preventing hunger for 1,300,000,000 humans could be fed by the grain and soyabeans fed to livestock each year. Not only does meat eating help destroy our bodies but the world around us.

When it all comes down to it, being a vegetarian is a wonderful spiritual, and helpful way of life and it could be to all. It could improve health, spirituality, and even the ecology. There are many more reasons supporting vegetarianism and one could always find some that are most important to them. Some think of vegetarianism as a punishment or restriction while true vegetarians and the ones who know most distinguish that it is a fantastic and quick way to refine and add energy, godliness, and will power to anyone’s life.

Vegetarianism

Vegetarianism has become the hallmark of modern food habits. The one time essentially non vegetarian West is also today, turning to vegetarianism. This trend has a basic cause, and that is the belief that, most health hazards in modern life are caused by this non-vegetarian food.

On the religious front it is believed that, by eating animal foods man’s traits and habits also become animal like as, it is strongly believed that, the food we eat has a direct influence on our bent of mind. If we eat animal food we become more of brutes than men as we are meant to be. Thus, to remain human, man must avoid consuming animal foods. Besides this, many philosophers and religious people believe that, we have no right to kill any living being and that also for our food. When man is not in a position to give life to any one, they think that man also has no right to take life.

In the earlier stages of social development man did eat raw meat of all kinds of animals it could kill, and, if we see pictures of men of those times I daresay they really did look like animals. As time passed, man invented the art of cooking so, even non-vegetarian food was being cooked. However, the belief that, animal food was unholy continued. This belief of course pertained only to India as, the Western countries continued non-vegetarian food and yet were called more civilized.

After centuries of consuming non-vegetarian foods, today, at the outset of the let Century East and West are both looking towards non-vegetarianism as a major killer, and thus turning to vegetarianism. This phenomenal change in the outlook and attitude of all people across the globe has recently taken momentum as, doctors and researchers declare loudly and openly the hazards of eating non vegetarian foods. The fact of the matter is that, non vegetarian food is more difficult to chew nicely and thence more difficult to digest and, in turn thus, more of a strain on the digestive system. In order to digest non-vegetarian food, the internal organs are strained more than what they can bear and so, they get destroyed much before their age would allow. It is also said by experts that, non-vegetarian food has a direct or indirect connection with most of the killer diseases of the day. Most of the diseases common in to-day’s medical parlance were unheard of in earlier times.

With this fear of causing damage to health, the belief in vegetarianism is gaining ground. All papers, all magazines of any repute, keep informing the public of the impact and harm caused by taking non-vegetarian food, and they continue to suggest more intake of vegetables and salads and fruits in the diet. With this daily dose of reading articles on advantages of vegetarianism, and the weaknesses of consuming non-vegetarian food, there is a quick and tremendous swing towards vegetarianism. This is not true only to India but has become a worldwide phenomena. It is not that non-vegetarian food is absolutely out of menus worldwide, but the fact is that they are becoming less popular, and the journey probably towards a world without non-vegetarian food has started. May be one day we reach the target of a completely vegetarian populace throughout the world.
