In some countries, it is becoming increasingly common for people to follow a vegetarian diet. Do the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages?

In a few nations, humans are shifting towards vegetarianism.

Although

there is a setback in

this

transition as it will impact the livelihood of the population

that is

based on the

meat

trade, I believe that the favourable impact on the environment totally outweighs the disadvantages. To embark upon, there are millions of people, working in the livestock businesses

such

as selling animal and bird

meat

.

In other words

, if people will adopt vegetarianism

then

the families of those who are dependent upon the

meat

business will become unemployed.

For example

, in India, especially in coastal areas

such

as Mumbai and Kolkata, lakhs of

meat

traders are earning from fish and other sea foods businesses;

thus

, if humans will become vegetarian

then

these business owners will lose their income source.

However

, to curb

this

issue I believe they can find other sources of income.

On the other hand

, animal and bird farming has a major role in depleting the environment.

That is

to say that, farm animals exhale double the carbon dioxide as compared to an average human being.

Moreover

, they

also

need a large space and a lot of food to live and, if animal and bird farming will shut down these can be consumed by other humans.

For example

, in ,research it is found that

meat

-related pollution is the highest contributor to global warming.

Therefore

, in my opinion, saving the environment should be our first priority by becoming vegetarian. In conclusion, even though, some people will lose their businesses, I think that improving the health of our planet by reducing global warming will totally outweigh the setbacks of

this

phenomenon.
