The Superior Diet: Vegetarian vs

Omnivore
 VEGETARIAN DIET
• Social Benefits:
• Supporting sustainable agriculture & ecology
• reducing the carbon footprint associated with
meat-producing operations
• opposition to the inhumane treatment of
livestock are among the social benefits sought
through this lifestyle.
• Health benefits:
• Lowering risk of getting colorectal cancer
 VEGETARIAN DIET
• trans fats and saturated fats -- known as the
"bad" fats (in some meats and dairy products)
• causing high cholesterol levels and lead to
possible heart problems.
• Vegetable-rich diets, however, offer
antioxidants and other health benefits,
• "good" vegetable fats like olive oil can help
protect the heart and the body in general.
 VEGETARIAN DIET
• Harms:
• Brain health: vegetarian diets may lead to a
"choline crisis." Choline is a nutrient that’s
important for brain health and other
functions. It’s found in meat and poultry, and
the body can't make all that humans need.
• Hair loss
• missing out on vital nutrients and vitamins:
vitamin B12, calcium, iron, or zinc
