Some people choose to be vegetarians because they believe it improves their health and has a positive effect on the world. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

#people #vegetarians #health #effect #world
These days, some
people
 are of the opinion that eating only
vegetables
 promotes their health and has a beneficial influence on the world; these
people
 are so-called vegetarians.
However
, I believe
people
 have to eat both
meat
 and
vegetables
 to fulfil their nutritional needs and maintain their health.
Firstly
,
meat
 provides us with a lot of nutrition that
vegetables
 don't have or don't have enough of.
For example
, it is certainly true that some
vegetables
 like beans, potatoes, and broccoli have protein, but comparing meats like chicken, beef, and pork, we cannot intake it efficiently in a single meal.
In addition
, there is the issue that attempting to be vegetarian is difficult for
people
 who live in a particular area,
such
 as a cold or arid region, where cultivation is not suitable.
Although
 perhaps humans might maintain their lives with only
vegetables
, they need a variety of
vegetables
 for nutrition.
Therefore
, eating
meat
 is essential for
people
 who are not able to obtain enough
vegetables
.
Finally
, eating only
vegetables
 may well be a social disadvantage in comparison with eating
meat
 as well. Vegetarians encounter the situation that when they go to restaurants with their non-vegetarian friends, they cannot share any foods at all that contain some
meat
.
As a result
, it can be considered that these cases build up frustration and make them physically unhealthy, far from being healthy. In conclusion, there are a number of problems with eating only
vegetables
 and being a vegetarian. It is crucial to eat both
meat
 and
vegetables
 in a balanced way.
