not always so! it has never been proven that vegan live more than canivores!

I never realized that it took that much water to raise cattle. I wonder what the numbers are on other meats like poultry.

I guess the main reason is behind the nutrients from vegetables than meat.They both have advantage for the body's health,it's just that vegetables have more and complete nutrients.

These are some of the best reasons to become vegetarian:
1. Vegetarian Food is easier to digest.

When we eat meat it is difficult to digest. This means that after eating a lot of meat, our stomach feels full and heavy. For a couple of hours we will feel lethargic and be more likely to fall asleep. Have you ever wondered why the whole family falls asleep after eating Christmas Turkey? It is because they are digesting the meat. A vegetarian diet is, by contrast, much easier to digest. We will be less lethargic after meals and find it is easier to digest. Try some tofu fritters for Christmas dinner, that will keep everybody awake.

2. Vegetarianism avoids cruelty to animals.

It is an unfortunate fact, that the modern livestock industry adopts many cruel practices. Animals are reared in close proximity and often die painful deaths. Many people choose a vegetarian diet to avoid contributing to this unnecessary cruelty to other living creatures.

3. Vegetarian Diet Improves consciousness.

When we eat meat, we take on board the animal qualities in the meat. An animal is more likely to be aggressive, and restless. When we eat meat, we take on board these qualities. Therefore, imperceptibly, we find it more difficult to curb our animal anger and develop peace of mind. If we adopt a vegetarian diet, we will take on board the milder qualities of vegetables, this will make it easier to conquer our restlessness and anger.

4. Vegetarian diet is better for the environment.

At the moment there is a lot of concern about global warming. This is caused be excessive emissions of carbon dioxide and methane. Gaining food from an animal based diet, is much more carbon intensive. To raise livestock require a much higher percentage of land, chemicals and energy. If the world adopted a vegetarian diet, we would find energy needs would fall dramatically.

5. Vegetarian diet is better for health.

A vegetarian diet helps us to avoid animal fats, which can contribute towards heart disease. Also a vegetarian diet tends to be higher in fibre, which has been show to reduce colon cancer. Various studies have shown that those who adopt a vegetarian diet have a much longer and healthier lifespan.

veggies are an essential part of the diet. Recently came across an article on timeswellness.com at

http://timeswellness.com/index.aspx?...3283753c3289f7

the excerpts are.....

If you want to live long and stay healthy, a vegetable-packed diet is the best way to go.
As a young medical student, I learned that eating plenty of fibre in the form of fruit and veg could protect you from bowel cancer.

And the longest-living group of people on the planet - the Japanese Okinawans - are virtually vegetarian, eating only tiny amounts of meat but up to 20 portions of fruit and veg a day.

Their super-healthy diet is thought to be the key to having such low rates of cancer compared to the rest of the world.

So it's no surprise that new research from Oxford has found we should be eating a diet that veers towards vegetarian if we want to protect ourselves from a whole variety of cancers.

The study says we could reduce our cancer risk by at least 10% simply by eating less meat and more veg.

hope it helps

A study in The International Journal of Cancer concluded that red meat is strongly associated with breast cancer. The National Cancer Institute says that women who eat meat every day are nearly four times more likely to get breast cancer than those who don't. By contrast, women who consume at least one serving of vegetables a day reduce their risk of breast cancer by 20 percent to 30 percent, according to the Harvard Nurses Health Study.
