Vegetarianism: Index
The Naive Vegetarian
People are turning to vegetarianism because, they believe, it is healthier, or kinder to animals, or the planet . . . The fact is that vegetarianism is less healthy; and if we all became vegetarians, we would starve.
Many vegan websites have published proof (they say) that humans must be herbivores. Their argument relies on carnivores being unable to get athersclerosis, and the fact that we do. This article refutes their argument; their own evidence actually shows we should be eating less food from plants!
Vegetarians have smaller brains
An interesting study was published in 2009. In confirming earlier research, it showed conclusively that people who cut down on eating foods of animal origin — and particularly vegans who cut it out altogether — suffer quite a large degree of brain shrinkage.
Do you have to be mental to be a vegetarian?
Although many studies have been conducted about the association between a vegetarian diet and physical health, very little work has been done on the associations between a vegetarian diet and mental health. And as more people are persuaded that a vegetarian diet is a healthy diet, it is essential that they are made aware of the possible adverse effects of such a diet.

The importance of
grass
Grass is the world’s most ubiquitous plant. It covers a quarter of
the world’s land area. That’s more land than any other plant. If
we all became vegans, all that land would be wasted.
