Thinking About Vegetarianism

For many months I have been thinking of giving up eating meat. Once I didn’t eat non-vegetarian food for almost 6 years but then I don’t remember when and how I again started eating.

Sticking to a vegetarian diet is healthy both physically and mentally because when you’re not eating meat you are not giving toxins to your body; most of the toxins in our bodies come through non-vegetarian intake. Vegetables hardly have toxins. Some people argue that even vegetables these days come polluted with pesticides and other chemicals. I won’t disagree but despite that the vegetarian diet is far more healthy than the non-vegetarian diet and I hope to switch to it soon.

I am already consuming more fruits and vegetables as I mentioned in one of the previous posts that I’m trying to reduce weight. We haven’t had a non-veg meal for almost 2 weeks and we haven’t missed it. In fact both Alka and I prefer eating vegetables — both raw and cooked.

Here is an interesting link the talks about 10 reasons to give up not vegetarian diet.
