I think being a vegetarian is a healthier life choice then a meat-based diet. If you are a vegetarian you eat heathier foods and a bigger variety of fruits and vegetables, This helps you collect more vitamins that your body needs. I think more people should eat vegetarian even if it's only a couple days a week. 

   I prefer being vegetarian because it can help the environment in many different ways. Resources like water are used in large amounts to farm animals for meat . For example, one pound ofbeef uses about 1,800 gallons of water to produce while corn and potatoes only take about 100 gallons of water to produce.
