In “How green is your dinner?” (2007), the author claims that many people eat plant food in their diet without becoming vegetarians. He says that a lot of people become vegetarian because of the large amount of agriculture especially the students in the universities and animal rights activists also are vegetarians. In the last decade, the number of vegetarians was raised because of the benefits of plants, and to keep their health and the environment. It is easy for anyone to become vegetarian nowadays since the food plants are available in each supermarket, café, and restaurant. In addition, he gives some examples from life of vegetarians; Cotter and Lia de Lancey. The author talks a lot about delancy and her feelings about vegetarian food. She says that people are interested in eat more if they eat vegetarian food more than if they eat red meat.
Imagine that there are no plants in the land? What will be happen? If the plants become extinct, then all the animals would die. So, plants are very necessary in our lives. Vegetarian food does not make a lot of problems, like those that non-vegetarian food makes. Therefore, people should convert to vegetarian food because it has low cholesterol, does not cause heart disease, and helps them lose weight.
First of all, vegetarian food gives people low cholesterol. Eating vegetarian will help the people to reduce the amount of cholesterol that they have. According to “Vegetarian diet cuts heart risk” (2002), “Eating more vegetables and soya-based products may be as effective at reducing cholesterol as medication” (para.1). For example, if anyone compares between the vegetable oil and non-vegetable oil, this person will see that the vegetable oil reduces the cholesterol while the other does not. the people are concerned about the high cholesterol in the blood and they try to reduce it. People are suffering from high cholesterol. This leads to heart disease.
Next, people who are vegetarian are not worried about heart disease. People want to forget the heart disease and any risk from it. According to Parker-Pope (2008), “A 2001 report in Nutrition Reviews concluded that eating just a handful of nuts (about three to four tablespoons) five times a week can reduce risk of coronary artery disease between 25 and 40 percent” (para.15). The high cholesterol and saturated fats to eat are fraught with the risk of heart disease and stroke. There is a good relation between the vegetarian and reducing the cholesterol that leads to heart disease.
Finally, a lot of people, especially women, want to lose weight. They asked many questions and spend a lot of money for that. They hate obesitys which has high cholesterol, and high blood pressure. It is the main reason that causes heart disease. According to “Vegetarian needs to lose weight” (n.d.), “A vegetarian diet can be one of the best for weight loss because it is based on low-fat vegetables, fruits, legumes and whole grains” (para.2). People want to have suitable weight to do each thing that they like.
In conclusion, people will choose vegetarian food in the future for many reasons, for example, like it has low cholesterol, it protect, from heart disease, and it help people in order to have a suitable weight. There is another reason which forces people to become vegetarian, which is poverty. People hope to live in this life without sickness, and like to live with good health to do a lot of activities that they are like.
