"The Benefits of Being Vegetarian"



Today, modern society has placed an emphasis on "healthy living". A well balanced diet, exercise and healthy lifestyle habits are significant to physical well being. In this sense, many individuals choose a vegetarian eating pattern.

There is no single vegetarian eating pattern. The vegetarian diet is mainly plant foods: vegetables, fruits, legumes, grains, seeds, and nuts. By meticulous observation we agree that the vegetarian eating pattern consists of low fat and no cholesterol dishes. In addition, we can actually have a great vegetarian meal without meat or any animal products. Besides the salutary aspect that most people would care about health, diet, and figure when they converse about the vegetarian diet, the spiritual aspect of a vegetarian diet is also remarkable.

All live beings desire to live and are afraid to die. We do not want to be eaten by a cannibal, so why should animals be eaten by humans? Eating meat is against the universal principle of not wanting to be killed. Although, eating plants is also killing living things, but the effect is trivial. As we have to eat to survive, we should choose the food which has the least consciousness and suffers the least.

In this Perspective the level of consciousness of the plant is so low because it consists of 90% water. Furthermore, when we eat vegetables, we do not cut their roots, but rather by cutting branches and leaves we help their reproduction. The result can actually be beneficial to the plant. This is even more evident with fruit. When fruit ripens, it will attract people to eat it. If we do not pick and eat it, the fruit will become overripe and will fall to the ground to rot. So, eating vegetables and fruit is a natural tendency that brings to them no suffering at all.

In conclusion, vegetarian diet is an effective way to ensure healthy living. In another perspective, if human beings eat many animals, they will probably be affected with animal instinct and quality. Moreover the life span of the flesh eating people is very short on average.
