Best Answer

People follow a vegetarian diet for a few reasons. Sometimes it is medically necessary (Allergies, for example), or for a religious purpose, or for a movement in order to not eat animals, or just a preference not to eat meat. It varies per individual. Some just do it because that was how they were raised, too.

It's more by a matter of choice due to weight concerns and health, concerns for animals (be it rights, welfare, or extremist views that animals aren't meant for humans to eat), concerns for the environment (some believe that eating less or no meat is better for the environment), or beliefs that eating more plants and grains will free up more food for those who don't have enough to eat. Whatever the choices, none of them are right or wrong no matter who says what.

How should you write on a party invitation that only vegetarian food will be served?

Unless all your guests are vegan you should have a variety of foods. If you do not wish to do this then where it says Reception on the invitation put 'Vegan Food Served' and in brackets put what that means as some of your guests may not have any idea what that is. It does not need to be specified, but if you feel the need to mention it, write 'Vegan friendly food available.' All- Vegan Weddings are becoming more and more common. It is not necessary to accommodate non-vegan guests as suggested by some. Vegan foods are suitable for vegans, vegetarians, and omnivores. It should not need to be mentioned on the invitation.

What is a good title for a research paper about how unhealthy vegetarian diets are?

The title can be as simple as "Why vegetarian diet is unhealthy". However, I personally don't think they are. A vegetarian can get a very balanced food daily and its a myth that non-vegetarian food is essential or better. I am myself a Vegan for more than 10 years and I know such people who are so for more than 30 years. All of us are very healthy, much better than most of the people around!
