Why Do We Pretend to Be Vegetarians?



People get worried and uncomfortable when it comes to inviting a vegetarian over for dinner or so. To be honest they are not that wrong to feel so anxious since it takes alot of effort and creativity to avoid the boredom of salads. Moreover, there is nothing filling like meat which is considered a fancy tasty dish of all parties. Yet, we are facing the rising number of vegetarians or even the ones who pretend to be one(!) and reconsidering the whole thing, it does make sense any way.
Imagine you are going to meet some new people and are determined to make a good first impression by showing how thoughtful and caring you are.Well, what would work better than claiming to be a vegetarian? Take my advice: It’s always cool to be one ( take Paul McCartney of The Beatles as an example).
Besides, if you are about to save money in order to spend it on better things than your tummy, vegetarian diets are here for you. No doubt that broccoli,cauliflower and beets cost much less than beef.
Above all, to keep healthy enough to enjoy all the fun and luxury of your life and to make sure you are protected against heart diseases, diabetes, cancers, obesity and well…mad cow disease, you’ll have to consider being a vegetarian.
And finally, the last yet simply not the least is the fact that it takes more energy to raise and produce animal meat than the meat itself provides. Take this example: The grain given to a cow of 800 pounds can serve to keep alive 20 children of about 40 pounds. So, by my math, you kill 20 children to have some well-done beef on your dining table.
Yummy...!
