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

In some nations, following a vegetarian
diet
is becoming more popular.
Although
having a vegetarian
diet
can help to protect
animals
, I believe that the disadvantages outweigh the advantages because they do not incorporate all the nutrients they need. One benefit of not eating
meat
is that
animals
are being protected.
That is
to say, if more
people
start opting to eat meals that do not include
meat
, fewer
animals
will be tortured and killed.
This
is because
animals
are reproduced, kept in small and uncomfortable places, and
then
killed and sold to supermarkets and butchers for human consumption.
For example
, cow’s
meat
in Argentina is the basis of
people
’s nutrition, so thousands of cows are reproduced and killed every year just for human consumption.
However
, I believe that avoiding eating
meat
will not make a significant difference

animals
’ protection. One drawback of having a vegetarian
diet
is that the nutrients incorporated through
this
diet
are insufficient.
This
is because
meat
has several vitamins and other important components,
such
as iron, that are very difficult to replace with fruits and vegetables. If
people
are not aware of
this
and do not visit a specialist, it can be dangerous and lead to several diseases.
For example
, many vegetarian
people
are
anemic

anaemic

because of the lack of iron in their
diet
, so they need to be supplemented with iron tablets.
Therefore
, I believe that having a healthy and complete
diet
is more important than any other thing. In conclusion,
although
animals
can be protected if more
people
start following a vegetarian
diet
, I believe that having a balanced
diet
with all the nutrients and vitamins that a person needs is far more important.
Therefore
, I consider that the drawbacks of a vegetarian
diet
outweigh the benefits.
