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

It is observed that vegetarians are increasing in numbers in some countries.

Although

following a vegetarian

diet

would help protect

animals

, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages because the body would not get all the required nutrients. One benefit of following a vegetarian

diet

would be saving

animals

.

This

means one does not have to kill and torture

animals

to eat meals.

Animals

are kept in uncomfortable and small places, and

then

killed and sold to markets and butchers for human consumption.

For instance

, Argentina's population hugely depends on cow

meat

for their daily nutrients. In

this

way, thousands of cows are butchered for human consumption.

However

, I believe that avoiding

meat

would not make a significant contribution to saving animal's life. In order for a human body to function in an efficient manner, it is required to have a

diet

that includes food

that is

rich in nutrients, vitamins, and proteins which can be found in

meat

. Iron is another component

that is

very difficult to find in fruits and vegetables.

Also

, people would be more prone to diseases if

meat

is not included in their

diet

.

For example

, people who are

anemic

Change the spelling

anaemic

show examples

are vegetarians who need to have iron supplements because they lack iron in their

diet

.

Therefore

, I believe that having a healthy

diet

is the most important than any other thing. In conclusion,

although

animals

are protected following a vegetarian

diet

, I believe having a balanced

diet

is more important.

Therefore

, I consider that the drawbacks of a vegetarian

diet

outweighs
