Vegetarian Times - Great Food, Good Health, Smart Living Becoming a Vegetarian People are drawn to vegetarianism by all sorts of motives. Some of us want to live longer, healthier lives or do our part to reduce pollution. Others have made the switch because we want to preserve Earth’’s natural resources or because we’’ve always loved animals and are ethically opposed to eating them. Thanks to an abundance of scientific research that demonstrates the health and environmental benefits of a plant-based diet, even the federal government recommends that we consume most of our calories from grain products, vegetables and fruits. Why go veg? You’ll ward off disease. You’ll keep your weight down. You’ll live longer. Want more proof of longevity? You’ll build strong bones. People who are mildly lactose-intolerant can often enjoy small amounts of dairy products such as yogurt, cheese and lactose-free milk. You’ll reduce your risk of food-borne illnesses. You’ll ease the symptoms of menopause. You’ll have more energy. You’ll help reduce pollution. You’ll help reduce famine.
