VEGETARIANISM (Paul Kucan)

Is vegetarianism good for young people??

I think that young people, specially teenagers, have to eat a little bit of everything, to develop well. All these trends that exist nowadays, such as "Size 0",and which models encourage teenagers to follow and be like them, are very bad for them, because they produce Bulemia and Anorexia.

Because of all these things, I think that Vegetarianism and Veganism are bad, and don´t have to be followed. However, everyone of this "trends" has advantages and disadvantages.

Some options for vegatarianism are:

1. -Vegetables and fruits are good for our body, because they contain vitamins that are important for the development of young people's body.


2. -Another advantage is that we contribute to the protection of animals which are cruely killed by farmers, so that we can eat fresh meat every day.

Some reasons against vegetarianism are:

1. -You can't have a healthy diet only by eating fruits and vegetables, because for the developmentof young people's body, there is also other important food, such as meat, fish, sweets...


2. -Moreover, if a lot of people eat fruit and vegetables, a lot of plantations would be needed to produce them, and this means that a lot of forests and landscapes would be destroyed.

My conclusion is that vegetarianism has to be chosen by every human on himself, because it has some advantages and some disadvantages. The only important thing is: "ENJOY FOOD"
