It is thought that human health can be badly affected by consuming meat, so people should choose to become vegetarian. Although eating meat still has benefits to human health, in my opinion, it does more harm than good.
First, meats are rich in cholesterol, fatty acid and protein. Although they are still necessary for human health, consuming them too much can increase a person’s risk of obesity, cancer and heart disease. In contrast, a vegetarian is less likely to face those health problems, while those nourishments can be easily found in several other natural sources or supplements. For example, people can get protein through using nuts, cereals, or seeds. Hence, people can still achieve the required nutrition for their bodies without eating meat.
In some cases, people may consume animals that have diseases, which can infect the consumer and give rise to serious problems. In reality, meats such as chicken or duck sometimes be injected with growth hormones to increase sales and profit, these poisonous meats are not only harmful to people’s health but it is also very difficult for people to identify them. Moreover, according to some scientific research, people who eat meat tend to be a lot more aggressive than vegetarian while those who don’t eat meat seems to be more peaceful and calmer, just like the monks. Besides, avoiding eating meat means reducing the number of animals being killed and more plants will be grown, which all benefit the environment considerably.
In conclusion, if people are careful with the amount of meat that they consumed as well as the origin of it, eating meat is not much. However, being a vegetarian is still a good idea that people should take into consideration.
