Some people think everyone should be a vegetarian because we do not need to eat meat to stay healthy.  To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In contemporary society, it is becoming popular among people to be vegetarians. I partially agree with

this

notion, as eating

meat

consistently has a bad impact on our health.

However

, vegetables do not have some special ingredients that the human body requires. Nowadays, individuals are choosing a healthy lifestyle and quitting eating

meat

because it has a bad effect on

bodies and health conditions.

As

Correct word choice

Meat

show examples

meat

is high in cholesterol and saturated fat, which build up in the body, clog arteries, and stop the heart from working properly.

Additionally

,

meat

has some bacteria, which are mostly killed

while

cooking but do not dissipate the toxins made by them.

For instance

, eating just two servings of

meat

a week will increase your risk of suffering from heart disease.

Thus

, as humans are worried about their lifestyle and want to build a healthy life, they are realizing how bad consuming

meat

is and trying to be vegetarians.

On the other hand

, some people may claim that vegetables do not have the appropriate amount of nutrients that only

meat

does. The high quantity and quality of

meat

proteins provide a higher nutrient density than plant proteins.

Furthermore

,

meat

proteins

also

contain a lot of

iron

. The

iron

in

meat

is much more absorbent than the

iron

found in vegetables.

For example

, the intake and status of vitamin B12, vitamin D,

iron

, zinc, iodine, calcium, and bone turnover markers were generally lower in plant-based dietary patterns compared to

meat

-eaters.

In addition

, vegans had the lowest vitamin B12, calcium, and iodine intake,

as well as

lower iodine status and lower bone mineral density.

Consequently

, as

meat

has some crucial ingredients that our body requires, people should eat an allocated quantity of

meat

products. In conclusion,

while

it is beneficial and healthier to not eat

meat

as it has some bad ingredients, it is

also

important to eat it in an appropriate amount as it gives some nutrients that plants do not have.
