Imagine if people looked at you and said you are so strong and healthy! Well a vegetarian can make you like that! Although people believe that vegetarianism is unhealthy, and it is a difficult lifestyle, it actually benefits you because it is healthier, it can save the planet, and it is inexpensive.

Being a vegetarian is always healthy if you eat the right things. It is lower on the trans and the saturated, cholesterol, and BMI. Most vegetarians can live longer since they minimize their risk of their heart diseases, diabetes, obesity, and high blood pressure. Another reason is that vegetables, fruits, and dairy contains vitamins such as vitamin D and B-12, proteins, calcium, and iron.
       
       The most important thing that is being a vegetarian can actually save the planet. Why is it important ? Well, because you are part of this planet. We need 78 calories of fossil to make only 1 calorie of beef, but only 1 calorie equals 1 calorie of soybean. As for our water, it takes 3-15 times the amount of water to produce animal proteins more than plants. The topsoil of Earth is really precious to us. When legumes are used more, the topsoil will become more efficient.

        If you lack money, being a vegetarian will save a lot of your money. Even though it is easy to prepare and there aren't many ingredients to add, you can do all sorts of fancy tricks if you learn about cooking  vegetarian meals. If you get a cookbook, watch TV shows, or even ask a real vegetarian what to eat, you will find yourself with high energies ar a cheap rate. Normally, a meat eater eats $14.65 a day, but a vegetarian eat $12.45 a day. It would be cheap when you buy food at a farm or grocery store.

        Being a vegetarian benefits you and the other living and non-living things around you. Although people believe vegetarianism damages your body and that one must eat plain things, but it actually helps you because it is more nutritious, it is good for the Earth and it is cheap and easy to prepare. Have you decided to be a vegetarian now?
