Disadvantages of Vegetarianism ? Are there any ?

Are there any disadvantages of vegetarianism? Well, after 20 years of not eating meat and thus living a healthy life, I can’t find any! In fact there are many benefits of vegetarianism which directly relate to a healthy, positive, vibrant and fulfilling life.

Reasons are plentiful to be healthy; there are many advantages of vegetarianism. In humans, meat takes a longer time to digest than any other food creating toxins that the body must struggle to eliminate. The more build-up of these toxins, the harder it is for the body to get rid of them, which can consequently lead to cancer.

It’s time for all of us to take better care of our health and adopt a vegetarian diet because in doing we’re not only doing what’s best for us, but what’s best for the whole world. “How so?” you may ask. Well, by raising cattle and other animals for meat consumption we’re overusing Earth’s ecological and environmental resources. For instance, it’s been estimated that for every 4 ounce hamburger made from the carcass of an animal that grazed an area which once was forested, 55 square feet of tropical rainforest is destroyed.

Also, did you know that in the U.S. 70% of all grains produced is fed to livestock?! By turning vegetarian these grains can be used to feed the starving people in the poorer countries instead.

So why not turn towards vegetarianism – you’ll be in good company such as these famous vegetarians: Sir Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, Leo Tolstoy, Madonna, Paul McCartney, Socrates, Pythagoras, Mahatma Ghandi, H.G. Wells, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Plato, Leonardo Da Vinci, William Shakespeare, Shakyamuni Buddha, Voltaire, Charles Darwin to name but a few.
