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.

Health and diet have always remained a controversial topic across the globe. Various cultures make different choices while preparing food. Being a non-vegetarian degrades the health of human beings, while some argue that, it is a good source of vitamins and nutrients. In

this

essay, I will discuss both sides and

then

give my opinion.

To begin

, humans have evolved from animals and from many centuries they were dependent upon both flora and fauna to meet their needs. All the nutrients required for a sapien body cannot be obtained from plants because everyone has different needs.

For instance

, Omega-3 is required to sharpen the memory of individuals which can only be found in the organisms living in the sea.

Hence

, it is acceptable to rely on different species to ensure personal good health.

However

, with evolution, the requirements of the bodies have

also

changed. The Hindu culture is strictly vegetarian and they have been dependent upon plants and food for centuries.

Moreover

, a study conducted on different diet plans by Harvard University,

for example

, proves that humans do not need to be carnivores for their nutrients. Due to excessive fishing, the climate is changing dramatically which is leading to global warming.

Therefore

, people should only depend upon natural vegetation for their needs. By taking everything into consideration, I am of the opinion that people should not eat meat as human bodies have changed over the years and becoming a vegan or vegetarian improves the life expectancy rate.

Also

, the environment is suffering to the massive killing of other species. The governments can help mitigate

this

problem by making people more aware through campaigns or any form of media.
