Is vegetarianism a good option for young people? (by Jandro Bonet)

For me, a healthy diet is to eat a little bit of everything: proteins, fruit, vegetables... So it is very important, especially when you are growing up, to have a good diet.

Vegetarianism is a type of nutrition that doesn't take any product that come from animals. Every day, more people is starting to be vegetarian because this nutrition has a lot of advantatges, but it also has disadvantatges:

- Vegetarians protect animals and reduce animal farmings.

- If you are a good vegetarian (you eat a bit of all) you have a better nutrition over the omnivores.

- They protect the enviornment.

- Vegetarians are less likely to have cancer.

- The world is thought for the omnivores, so it is very difficult to find vegetarian dishes.

- If you don't take a balanced diet you can have very serious problems of nutrition and health.

With all of this, I think that being a vegetarian is a very good idea but only if you do it very carefully.
