REASONS WHY YOU SHOULDN’T EAT MEAT

These are for those people I know who don’t eat vegetables.
:
Well, this blog is not hypocrisy or anything, i just want to encourage people to eat veggies more often.
Here are the reasons why we should eat more veggies and less meat:
Less meat equals less fat. Even though you eat lean meat, there are still fats lingering on every strand of it. Animals also store extra fats on top of what they have under their skin. Unless you cook your food for hours, like Bulalo or Nilaga, the fat on the meat will still be there.
Less chances of food poisoning. You can’t be sure what’s inside barns and piggeries. Animals usually eat things they shouldn’t be eating. Unlike plants, they only take what farmers give them.
Become healthier. Eating green leafy vegetables reduces the chances of you having arthritis or rheumatism. It also reduces the chances of you having cancer and heart attacks. My grandmother, who’s already 90 years old, only eats meat once a week and she can still play and work.
Help the environment. Well, I won’t give you the same story about not eating animals because you should pity them. This time, when there is an increase in consumption of green veggies, farmers will continue planting them, in effect; those plants will help clean the air. (In a way, with their photosynthesis there will be more oxygen). =)
Help your weight loss. It’s possible to be vegetarian and eat very unhealthy foods, including Coke and fries and fried stuff and pizza and chips. But it’s much more difficult. Studies repeatedly show that vegetarians are slimmer and are less likely to be obese than meat eaters. If you’re trying to lose weight, being a vegetarian can be a good part of your program.

Get more nutrition. In general (though not necessarily), vegetarians replace meat with more nutritious foods, such as fruits, vegetables, beans, whole grains, and so on. If you do that, you will be getting more of the nutrients your body needs, giving you better health, less illness, and more energy.
Well, this is just a futile attempt to persuade everybody to eat more veggies, but i hope that you will think twice when you’re choosing what’s on the menu.
