Are there any arguments against being vegetarian?

Answer 1

There are arguments against vegetarianism but they are ill- informed and uneducated. Arguments against vegetarianism include:

• Difficulty in obtaining sufficient vitamin B12
• Humans were made to eat meat.
• Meat contains nutrients needed for our body to function properly.
• Vegetarians have a hard time getting enough protein in their diet.
• A vegetarian diet promotes obesity.

These arguments, as mentioned, do not stand up.

A proper vegetarian diet is lean and provides all the protein, minerals, and vitamins a person needs while affording a great deal of diversity in food sources. A person can easily live a full, happy, and complete dietary life without any meat because the nutrients and proteins provided by meat are available in legions of plant-based alternatives.

Unfortunately, many vegetarians, like many meat-eaters, lean toward eating lots of sweets, breads, unhealthy snacks, beverages, carbohydrates, and fats because these foods can be grabbed on the go. As a result, a vegetarian who eats the wrong things will gain weight just like someone who eats meat.
