It is a fact that several groups of people prefer not to consume any kinds of
meat
and
fish
, as they believe that being vegetarian bring many benefits for their health and for the world as a whole. To a certain extent, I would agree with the opinion, but I think that people should
also
consume
meat
and
fish
in a proportional portion as they contain rich ingredients that are needed by

the human’s body
body
. For a number of reasons, some people choose not to eat
fish
or
meat
.
Firstly
, it is believed that several types of meats and
fish
contain fats which are considered as unhealthy for the human’s
body
. People who consume those kinds of
meat
or
fish
have a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases
such
as heart attack or cholesterol.
Secondly
, as the demand for
meat
and
fish
increases, it would have a negative impact on the environment. The increasing number of farming activities would require bigger areas, which might reduce the number of forest areas.  And
then
with over-exploitation of fishing activities, several types of fishes would extinct and it would make the sea ecosystem become imbalance.
On the other hand
, many food scientists have found out that there are several types of vitamins and proteins that could only be obtained from
meat
and
fish
. For examples, Salmon
fish
generates a certain type of oils which are beneficial for our blood circulation process. And
then
, red
meat
is needed as the source of nutrition for human’s brain.
However
, the main problem of those who consume
meat
and
fish
is that most of them consume the food in an inappropriate portion. As a consequence, many of them have problems with obesity or

diabetes
. In conclusion, it is true that some people believe that being a vegetarian is healthier than
meat
consumer, and it would
also
give positive effect to the environment. To a certain point, I would agree with it, but meats and
fish
also
contain certain types of nutrition that are needed by our
body
. I do believe that if we could balance the consumption of
meat
,
fish
and vegetable, it would make our
body
become healthier than the vegetarian.
