             To begin with, and in contrast to what the writer has stated in the text, “There is absolutely zero scientific prove that going vegetarian is healthy”, there are actually millions of proof that a vegetarian diet is a healthier diet. For instance, Physicians have concluded that “vegetarians have much lower cholesterol levels than meat-eaters, and heart disease is less common in vegetarians.” Furthermore it is very perceptible nowadays that being vegetarian actually prevents cancer “Studies of vegetarians shows that death rates from cancer are only about one half to three-quarters of the general population’s death rate”. Finally, the writer of the text claims that vegetarians “aren’t saving the lives of animals but instead “killing all the little animals, birds, bugs, and microorganisms that live among the field; however, getting our seeds from the field doesn’t kill these animals but instead by planting we are actually building a shelter for them. As a matter of fact, we have never heard of extinction of a kind of birds due to farming or plant eating!

             Nevertheless, the writer might have a point in one thing or two. As it is not necessarily a must that the vegetarian diet is the healthiest of all.  A meat-eater who balances between all the types of food he/she intakes is also considered to have a healthy diet. After all there isn’t only one sacred rule for being healthy. In addition, meat-eaters might be in taking some proteins vegetarians lack. Also it is actually true that both darks green vegetables and meat give the same amount of protein, however the quantity of broccoli that must be digested to serve this amount is almost more than double that of meat. Despite all the diseases meat has caused, it has also at some point proved to augment human health and body.
