Vegetarianism is a lifestyle where one does not eat meat or animal products. A vegetarian diet can be healthy, as it is associated with lower cholesterol and blood pressure. There are different types of vegetarian diets such as vegan, ovo-lacto, and raw foodism. While vegetarian diets lack some vitamins and proteins found in meat, these can be obtained through nuts, soy milk, cereals, fruits and alternatives like seitan. Overall, following a vegetarian lifestyle can benefit one's health, and the author believes it is preferable to reducing animal suffering.
