Veggies or Meat ?

According to Vegetarian Society, they define a vegetarian as: "Someone who lives on a diet of grains, pulses, nuts, seeds, vegetables and fruits with, or without, the use of dairy products and eggs. A vegetarian does not eat any meat, poultry, game, fish, shellfish* or by-products of slaughter.". Then again, do they get the sufficient nutrients they need ? Or its main purpose is it also a way to cut down on calories and fat? Is it just about the diet or a lifestyle ?

The good side to being a vegetarian is that there are more health benefits. A lot of health problems could be prevented like the development of kidney stones and gallstones , a lower risk in heart disease,  obesity, high blood pressure, and more. but of course, That doesn't mean that eating meat does not have benefits. Meat could offer high amount of protein, carbohydrates, and healthy saturated fats. There are also a lot more Iron in meat than in vegetables.

Now the bad side of being a vegetarian. There may be nutrient deficiency in doing a vegetarian diet. There are vitamins that could be found in meat that are rare in a vegetarian diet, these vitamins help the nervous system, digestive system, and even improve eye sight and skin.

In conclusion, we need to depend on all fruits, vegetables, and meat to have consume all necessary vitamins and minerals in order to survive. Going vegetarian doesn't ensure good health; however, having a balanced diet will. That means eating all sorts of food. Yes, there are benefits from being a vegetarian, and there are also benefits from being a meat eater, so why not eat meat at veggies to get both their benefits? If going vegetarian is just about the taste of meat, then that is a whole different story.
