Why you shouldn't eat meat

Eating meat increases our cholesterol levels. Meat increases the amount of saturated fat (the worst kind of fat) in our diets.

Also when we eat meat we tend to eat mainly meat, depriving us from the grains, fruits, veggies, and dairy products our body needs.

You'll build stronger bones and teeth. Studies show eating dry beans, tofu, soy milk, and dark green vegetables such as broccoli and kale help bring extra calcium into our blood stream.

You'll also reduce your risk of a food borne illness, because you don't have to worry about undercooked, or infected meats.

The vegetarian diet is healthier than the average American diet. Vegetarians are 10-20% lighter than meat eaters. Vegetarians also live up to 13 years longer than meat eaters because they develop a healthier immune system, and they have a decreased risk of heart problems, and certain cancers.

The livestock industry is one of the leading causes to environmental degradation in the world. Also animals eat 90% of our corn and grain crops. Feeding and raising animals for human consumption is more expensive, and more wasteful than just growing plants for consumption.

You'll have less fat in your diet, helping your body create more usable energy. Also you will consume more fiber making you more "regular."

You'll also become a better cook because you'll have to learn how to make new and unique dishes in order to stay away from meat, while still getting your essential nutrients.

Studies show that eating large amounts of red meat can lead to an increased risk of death by 13%, increased risk of fatal cardiovascular disease by 18%, and an increased mortality by 10%. Processed meats were 20% higher mortality rates, 21% more fatal heart diseases, and 16% increased cancer risks.
