Vegetarian
You may have considered switching to a vegetarian diet in the past, but may have been concerned at not being able to make this transition, or not being able to take in enough nutrients that your body needs. You may be a staunch meat eater and would never consider turning vegetarian, but do give some thought as to the benefits that a vegetarian diet can do for you as well as the people around you.
Farm animals are fattened in order to increase their size, increasing the weight of the meat, and thus increasing profits. Eating this meat increases your fat intake, thus increasing the chances of you developing heart disease or becoming obese.
Vegetarians have half the risk of developing heart disease when compared with their meat eating counterparts.
Rates of developing cancer amongst vegetarians are 25-50% less than in their carnivorous counterparts.
Each year, the vast majority of the millions of food poisoning cases reported are caused by meat.
There are no proteins or vitamins in meat that cannot be obtained from a fully vegetarian diet.
