There are different versions on usefulness of vegetarian meals or even the meaning of vegetarian itself. You will be surprised to note that some people do not consider seafood especially fish as non vegetarian meal in our country especially the coastal areas like Bengal, Orissa, Konkan and Kerala where as some people do not consider even the dairy products as vegetarian. People who do not eat dairy products putting them in non vegetarian category are called vegan in true sense.
In India almost 50% people are pure vegetarian followed by Israel 13%, England with 12%, Sweden 10% and Republic of Czechoslovakia and Portugal with nearly 2% each. It doesn’t mean there are no vegetarians in other countries but their percentage is too low. In some countries people cannot imagine their life without meat and when discussed they feel amazed that a person can live without eating meat.
However the trend of eating vegetarian is increasing in Europe. According to European vegetarian union sources Italy is number one in the list with almost 6 million people which is close to 8% of the total population of Italy giving up meat for different reasons including health and environmental affects.
It would be worth mentioning here that Mayor of Turin famous for its cuisine Chiara Appendino a cute young lady of 32 years age has come out with a five year plan that will encourage vegetarian diet for safeguarding health of citizens and welfare of decreasing number of animal in the area. She says slaughter of lesser number of animals helps the cause of environment also.
The world is slowly coming to the conclusion that non vegetarian food habit has a direct relation with environmental related problems and global warming is one of the many of them. Meat increases obesity as well is one of the major causes of diabetes. It would be important to note that China one of the major meat consuming countries has requested its citizens to reduce meat consumption that will help reduce at least 1 billion tons of green house gases from the atmosphere.

If I had to choose between an all meat diet versus an all vegetarian diet, I would choose vegetarian. For survival reasons, if nothing else. You don't have to hunt your food down and kill it. You can eat it raw and often don't need to use a knife or other eating utensil. You can leave it on the tree and not worry about food storage or spoilage. There are all kinds of good reasons to be vegetarian. But I'm still not a vegetarian. However, I have modified my diet to include more vegetables and less meat.
I gave up all non-vegetarian food in 2004 and do not miss anything including my most favorite dish the Tandoori Chicken.
killing animal like killing plants, and there is lots of vitamins and menirals that are in animals not in the vegetarian, I am not against vegetarin but its life style eveyone eats what they like, but to say that is healthy its not true because there and that is just an example, there are type of protein that human body needs it , that is not in plant, also some type of iron that is in animal only. So there are healhty vegetarian you and healthy meat, you can not live eating only one of them. or you will have some health issues, balance is required in everything, life , work , food and everything, though nice post , but human needs both source of food as vegetable and fruits and also animal meats. I can not imagine my self eat only vegetable food or just fruits. thanks for the effort in the post, a good day
