There are compelling reasons for being a vegetarian.

For Your Health's Sake

Because of their low-fat high-fiber vegetarian diet, vegetarians frequently have a lower incidence of diseases, including some forms of cancer, and coronary heart disease.
 
Vegetarians are much less likely to be overweight, or clinically obese.
 
Vegetarians are not at risk from the germs carried by dead animals, or from traces of the drugs, they may have been given.

For the Animals Sake

Vegetarians don't eat meat, so they do not condone the cruelty to animals that often occurs, particularly in factory farming.

For the Environments Sake

It is not widely known that animal waste is considered to be a major threat to our environment, because of its effect on global warming.   If more people were vegetarian, fewer farm animals would be required, and our overcrowded planet would benefit.

A Little Vegetarianism Can Go A Long Way

Those people, who may have thought about becoming vegetarian, but faltered, can take it one step at a time. Gradual progress towards vegetarianism, and a healthier lifestyle, is better than no progress.  So, if you have been hesitant to take the plunge, start with one or two meat free days per week.  Once you have tried some of the delicious vegetarian alternatives, to a meat inclusive diet, and started to feel better in the process, it is doubtful that you will want to return to your old habits.

• Vegetarian Diet and Good Health
  I will cover the major three nutritional advantages of becoming a vegetarian.
• Vegetarian Cookery
  It is interesting to note that vegetarian cookery has been passed down through the ages, and that some of the older recipes remain as relevant as ever....
• Vegetarians, Vegans, and Eggs
  Those vegetarians, who do not include meat or dairy products in their diets but do eat eggs, are known as ovo-vegetarians.
• Vegetarians and Leather - Vegetarians and Silk
  Being a vegetarian is not just a matter of not consuming meat, as there are many vegetarians who will not wear clothing that includes animal products, such as leather.
• Vegetarians and Sugar
  There are vegetarians, often stringent vegans who will not eat sugar. They are concerned about the animal connection, in that sugar may have been whitened using bone char from cows.

The purpose of this web site is to provide information about vegetarians and information for vegetarians, in addition to encouraging new vegetarians.  We will be regularly updating the site,  so, whether you are an established vegetarian, or just a novice, we thank you for your visit, and hope to welcome you again soon.
