VEGETARIANISM
Vegetarianism is the practice of abstaining from the consumption of any type of meat and may also include abstention of by-products of animal slaughter, which is the killing of domestic livestock not just for food but also because of animals with diseased conditions or unable for consumption. Vegetarianism can be adopted for different reasons such as the respect of sentient life, religious beliefs along with animal rights, health-related lifestyles or political, enviromental and economic motivations.
There are varieties of the vegetarian diet as the Ovo-vegetarian; it include eggs but not dairy products, the lacto-vegetarian includes dairy products but not eggs, the ovo-lacto-vegetarian includes both of them, and there is also the most radical vegearian diet which is vegetarianism that erradicates completely any animal product even so if it is out of the food scope.
The semi-vegetarian life is also part of the vegetarianism standard that takes the seafood consumption but it is still in the parameter of the vegetarian pattern. There statements that support vegetarianism, otherwise there are also statements that refute the cause.
1. It is unethical and cruel to kill sentient beings for food even though vegetarians have been accused for doing the same since researches have prove that plants respond electrochemically to threats and may feel fear.
2. Human anatomy is designed support a vegetarian diet given we do not have a large mouth or long pointed teeth of carnivores but eating meet has been a essential part of the human evolution process for 2.3 million years.
3. A vegetarian diet delivers complete nutrition and provide health benefits because it meet all out body protein requirements, on the other hand meat is a convenient source because in one serving, meat provides all the essential amino-acids.
4.A vegetarian diet can help alleviate world hunger but eating meat provides healthy saturated fats, whichenhance the function of the immune and nervous systems.
5.A vegetarian diet reduce the chance to develope kidney stones and gallstones but meat centered diet can help with weight.
There are plenty of positive and negative aspects between a vegetarian diet and an average meat diet but turning yourself into a vegetarian person is more a cause of nobility and spirituality because it is about ensuring the life of sentient beings that have no word or ability to stand up for their rights. Yes, it might be true that plants also respond to threats because they are living organisms but it is guaranteed that an animal suffers the pain about ten times more intense than a plant. Animals do not deserve being raised in confinement or overcrowded spaces. They deserve a decent life because they are not disposable, they do not grow up in trees and this world is not free from extinction.
