Studies have shown that is not essential for humans to eat meat. Most animal foods are high in fat, especially saturated fat when compared to fruits and vegetables.
Whilst meat does contain carbohydrates it does not contain very many complex carbohydrates which are essential for health. There are also relatively low in minerals and vitamins. Those vitamins and minerals that meat does contain can easily be found within vegetables.
Animals higher up the food chain, this means that they often contain high concentrations of chemicals. These chemicals are the ones used in farming plants that the animals then eat. Those chemicals accumulate in the tissue of their flesh and humans consume those chemicals in denser quantities than when they themselves consume plant foods.
There are many different drugs used to rear animals, including antibiotics, growth hormones and steroids. These drugs are consumed in a diluted form when their flesh is eaten. Animals have a host of bacteria, parasites and viruses, some quite dangerous ti humans. Some of them survive the drugs used to keep them at bay, the slaughter process and cooking. These micro-organisms exist on plants but to a much lesser degree.
Plant foods need less careful storage and they last longer than meat does without refrigeration. Plus it is obvious when plant food have gone off, but less so with meat. Is far harder to inadvertently get food poisoning from vegetables than it is from eating slightly off meat.
As a general rule people who eat enough vegetables are less likely to be obese. They are less likely to suffer from heart disease, diabetes and a host of other long term debilitating or life threatening diseases.
Plant food usually transitions through the body far more quickly and completely than meat does. Fruit and vegetables are high in fibre, so bowel health is usually better in older vegetarians than older meat eaters.
A healthier diet means a longer life. For vegetarians it is almost second nature to eat a healthier diet and thus live longer.
A lot of vegetarians feel happier with their life choices than some meat eaters. Some eaters suffer from some form of guilt, at some stage in the life, because of the fact that their choice means that animals have to be killed to enable them to do so.
Vegetarianism naturally gives rise to a healthier diet meaning that many vegetarians naturally stay slimmer than meat eaters.
