Follow-free diet foods of animal origin is a hotly debated topic among supporters and detractors of vegetarianism, and intrudes between the controversial aspects of Economy, Ecology and Bioethics.
Contrary to popular belief, the discussion on this issue is not unique to our day, for thousands of years ago the Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras (580 to 500 BC, approximately) said: "Can be greater crime to enter entrails the very bowels, feeding greedily body with other bodies and keep killing life a being as you live? "turn Hellenic writer and historian Plutarch (46-120 AD) said" Since you claim that you are designed by nature to nourish with meat, kill yourself eat whatever you please. But do it with your own hands without the aid of knives, sticks or axes of any kind. "
But more than an ethical discussion on the multiple factors involved ideological vegetarianism has also been reviewed by Modern Medicine , to distinguish what are the pros and against this practice, food, and positive or negative impact that a system like this can have on humans.

People who eat only plants are indeed some advantages over those who consume lots of meat, for example, are less prone to obesity, dyslipidemia rarely contract (increase of different types of fats blood) and have minimal risk of colon cancer. This is because:
* consume grain breads and cereals rather than refined products. * Dan
great importance to the nuts as a source of protein in a meal.
* Favor consumption of vegetables and pasta prepared from wheat flour.
* When you accept the consumption of milk, yogurt recommended feed.
* Saturated fats are virtually excluded from their diet.
Their rationale for excluding the meat can be summarized in the following postulates:
* The physique and teeth of man does not correspond to that of a carnivore.
* The digestive juices of human beings lack the acidity needed to digest meat.
* The decomposition of animal food produces toxins more dangerous than those of plants.
* Plant proteins are sufficient replacing the animal. Additionally
mention that vegetarians tend to restrict their consumption of meat also for ideological reasons, as postulated love and respect for all living beings, but also by socio-economic reasons, say most of the vegetables and cereal crops are ingested by animals to be slaughtered for human consumption, with all that food would help eradicate the problem of hunger and malnutrition in the world.
Against
From a nutritional standpoint, it has raised major objections to the list of vegetarian habits:
* The quality of protein of pulses is lower than those derived from animal foods, as well as their number is proportionally very low, so it would have to consume excessive quantities of plants to compensate for deficiencies.
* Vitamin B12 (and the complex B in general) is derived from animal foods, so vegetarians are lacking this important nutrient and, therefore, suffer from anemia and severe disorders of the nervous system in children may be delayed sexual maturation.
* In the most rigorous vegetarianism is lack of minerals but especially calcium deficiency occurs due to lack of milk, and zinc, as the high level of fiber prevents absorption. They can also express low levels of iron content in viscera and especially red meat.
* An individual will not be abolished by red meat, for example, children under eight years as your bowel is unable to conduct proper digestion of other protein sources such as legumes, and pregnant women, because the demands of iron and B complex are essential to prevent anemia and to ensure the proper development of your baby.
Also, although many vegetarians insist that their eating habits contribute to prolong his life, trials to date show no convincing data to substantiate this claim. Verdict
Today is talk of a dairy diet-ovo-vegetarian, which is less strict because the consumption of vegetables also include eggs and milk is a satisfactory alternative from the point of nutritionally that through the combination of these foods provides ideal replacements apparently as a source of iron and vitamin B12 is concerned, but whose effects still need to be observed and analyzed in the medium and long term.
Finally, just a curiosity. Supporters of strict vegetarianism argue that eating meat leads to violence and psychological problems as well, we should mention the name two celebrities who were fed exclusively with fruits, vegetables and grains to support the veracity of this claim: Mahatma Gandhi and Adolph Hitler. Indeed, through these characters we can infer that the strengths and weaknesses of human beings depend not only food, but many other factors.
