Vegetarians don't
eat meat, fish, shellfish or poultry. There are a number of
reasons why people choose not to eat the bodies of animals.
The main ones are ethical,
health and
environmental.
Being vegetarian is a lot healthier for you. Humans eat meat
through choice, as we do not need it in our diets.
What is a vegan?
Vegans avoid all the animal foods that vegetarians
don't eat and also avoid other animal products, such as eggs, milk
and honey. It sounds difficult, but it's really not! There are now
lots of vegans in the UK as more and more people realise that it's
a much healthier and kinder diet.
