     All over the world and for many different reasons there are millions of people who never eat meat.
These people are called vegetarians. To people who eat meat being a vegetarian may seem like a very
strange thing. But they won't eat meat for several different reasons.
     First vegetarians have a big health advantage. One of the major health problems in modern world is
too much food especially in the form of animal fats. Medical study suggests that animal fats including
butter quicken the development of cholesterol (胆固醇) in the human body. Too much cholesterol seems
to be part of the cause of heart disease. Most vegetarians have low level of cholesterol. Too much animal
fats also seem to lead to certain kinds of cancer and vegetarians have less these cancers than people who
eat a lot of meat. Overall studies comparing the health of vegetarians and meat-eaters show that the
meat-eaters are twice as likely to die of heart disease as vegetarians are.
     Better health is one reason that people choose to become vegetarians. Another reason is religion (宗教).
Eating of meat is never allowed in some religions. The largest of these is the Hindu religion which has about
600 million believers in the world. Although not all Hindus are vegetarian many are and there are many
believers of other religions such as Buddhism and even some Christian religions that also do not eat meat.
     Many vegetarians do not eat meat simply because they do not like the taste of it. They have no religious
or other reasons; they just do not like meat. Another important reason that vegetarians give for not eating
meat is the health advantages that were given above. Lastly there are many people who do not eat meat
because they just do not like the idea of killing animals for food. They believe that life all life is valuable and
that we do not have to destroy life to feed ourselves when there are other good sources of food.
