Vegetarianism For: it’s healthier- avoid serious illness problems- reduce the amount of fat- raising animals to kill is cruel- vegetables are cheaper than meat.

Against: unbalanced diet- lack of protein—lead to serious illnesses- impact on the meat industry- unemployment

In this modern age, the trend of being a vegetarian is gradually increasing. This is not because people cannot afford buying meat and seafood, but there are certain beliefs in doing so. This essay, will take a look at both sides of the argument. Firstly, some people believe that a vegetarian diet is healthier than a meat diet because we are always warned to reduce our fat intake and vegetables contain very little fat. In addition, it has been proved that vegetarianism can reduce our risk of dying of cancer, heart problems, and other serious illnesses. Secondly, some others think that raising animals in factory farm conditions can be cruel. In order to be ready to be served as a meal, animals have to go through a variety of steps which some are actually horrifying. Apart from getting killed, they suffer a lot in the preceding stages. Finally, as it is commonly known, vegetables are cheaper than meat. This would be an attractive factor to trigger non-vegetarians who may want to spend less on eating. However, research has shown that the nutrition we get from vegetables is not enough for a normal person’s body system. For example, the necessary protein for our body functioning every day cannot be gained if we only eat vegetables. Consequently, an unbalanced diet can lead us to muscular issues and even neurological problems. Furthermore, if the majority of people living on Earth only eat vegetables, it can cause huge impact on meat salesmen as they will soon be jobless and farmers will earn less according to such situation. To sum up, in my opinion, I think both sides of the problem has its supporting ideas and factors, and it is in our own freewill as to decide whether we are in favour of eating a vegetarian diet or not. 304 words...
