environmental aspects of food production and
Choose a plant-based diet for the more
favourable environmental effects,such as
increased sustainability from the production of
plant-based foods.

18. Reasons for Becoming a Vegetarian
Environmental Concerns
 One acre of wheat will produce 800,000 calories,
one acre used to raise beef generates only 200,000
 Eating beef returns only 4% of calories the steer
consumed, and 10% of the protein it consumed.
 It takes 25 times more water to produce a kilo of
beef than it does to produce a kilo of vegetables.

19. Reasons for Becoming a Vegetarian
Animal Rights
Concern for animal welfare has created another group
of vegetarians, some of whom accept dairy and eggs
(because an animal has not been slaughtered in their
production), while others totally exclude animal
products in the name of preventing cruelty to animals
and as an objection to inhumane farming practices.

20. Reasons for Becoming a Vegetarian
Weight Control
Some people (often teenage girls) may choose to become
vegetarian with the intention of controlling their weight

adoption of restrictive vegetarian diets may be masking
the signs of an eating disorder.

Some religions such as Sikh, Buddhists,
Hindus, Jews and Seventh-day Adventists
include vegetarian dietary practices as part
of their religious belief system.

consumption of flesh food…”for your
lifeblood I will surely require a reckoning;
of every beast I will require it of man.”
Gen 9:1-5

Aesthetics
The thought of eating dead animals
doesn’t appeal.
Mary-Tylor Moore was a vegetarian because
she could not stand the thought of “eating
anything with a face.”

24. Reasons for Becoming a Vegetarian

Some perceive the avoidance of red meat as a healthy
dietary option (due to the reduced intake of saturated
fat and cholesterol), while others focus on the health
benefits of a plant-based diet providing plenty of
vitamins, minerals, dietary fibre, antioxidants, and
phytochemicals, many of which are found exclusively
in plant foods.

don’t take my word for it; just try it on for 10
days, and see how you feel.

produced ‘food animals’? Cement dust,
radioactive material, dead carcasses, animal

at all KNOWS that eating such mass-produced
animal flesh is stupid.
