ENVIRONMENT
VEGETARIANISM
Vegetarianism is an alternative lifestyle and it can have influence in the environment.
A predominantly vegetarian diet may have beneficial effects for kidney and nerve function as well as for weight loss. I think vegetarian people have a lower death rate and use less medication than meat - eating people.
On the other hand, low-protein diets (associated with vegetarianism) reduce calcium and may have a negative impact on our health.
Vegetarians must be careful and get the proteins found in meat from other sources, such as tofu and soya. Vegetarians are less likely to get cancer or heart diseases, probably because they eat no animal fat.
Reducing one’s personal meat consumption can help the environment. Deforestation would decrease because less pasture land would be needed.
