Some people choose to eat no meat or fish. They believe that this is not only better for their own health but also benefits the world as a whole. Discuss this view and give your own opinion. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

A section of society has been observed to consume only vegetarian

food

because they believe it to be good for the body and the earth. In my opinion, it is a personal choice to eat a vegetarian

diet

;

however

, a person cannot stay healthy or save the planet by restricting the

non-vegetarian

diet

.

To begin

with, the foremost reason that proves the

non-vegetarian

food

healthy is the availability of certain essential nutrients which are present only in animal meat or seafood.

Additionally

, there should be a variety of

food

, so that the body gets all the essential elements to stay fit and healthy.

For example

, if a person just relies on

plants

plants, then

then

he would become deficient in vitamin B, which can be obtained only from animals.

Similarly

, the

sea-

edible fish (broadly including freshwater fish) or shellfish or roe etc

seafood

food

provides Omega-3 which is present only in fish.

Thus

,

food

derived from animals is equally important for maintaining good health. Another reason for not restricting the

non-vegetarian

food

is it balances the ecosystem. Admittedly, if animals like goats and sheep are not consumed by

mankind

mankind, then

then

it may happen that their number grows drastically and may create a problem in the environment.

As a result

, it is proper to consume

non-vegetarian

food

along with vegetarian meals, which will keep their numbers in check. In conclusion, I pen

down saying

the diet

and should not restrict himself to just vegetarian

food

. The

food

from land and sea animals certainly is beneficial to overall health and eating just fruits and plants would make the body weak and deficient in essential vitamins.

Moreover

chain and ecosystem can

be managed effectively if we include meat and fish in our

diet
