Every one of us should become a vegeterian because eating meat can cause serious health problems. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

There has been an argument by some people that we should all become vegetarians

instead

of consuming

meat

, which they believe could pose health challenges. To some extent they are right, but in

this

essay, I will discuss both sides of the matter before my submission. As good as

vegetables

are, they cannot provide humans with all the nutrients they require for their complete well-being.

For instance

, medical research has shown that the nutriment,

such

as fat and protein, needed by people, are resident in

meat

. It is

also

reasonable to know that these food ingredients which essential for the growth of both children and adults as

such

very important.

Therefore

, those individuals who are only feeding on

vegetables

could be stunted in growth and become sickly.

However

, there are those that say that people who take a lot of

meat

could be lacking in important minerals found in most

vegetables

.

This

assertion could be valid from scientific studies that a great proportion of vitamins and minerals are deposited in fruits and

vegetables

.

Furthermore

, it's been known that diseases like cancer, diabetes and heart disease occur

as a result

of excessive consumption of

meat

food while

this

is not peculiar to vegetarians.

In addition

, it is already known that intake of red and processed

meat

heightens the risk of being diagnosed with bowel cancer. In conclusion, the argument that everybody should be a vegetarian cannot hold water.

However

, I am of the opinion that a balance should be struck based on the fact that humans need fats, proteins from

meat

and minerals from

vegetables

to have a balanced diet.
