Vegetarian Pros and Cons

Ok, a while ago I was researching what happens to your body when you become a vegetarian and I found this. I thought it was funny...but you might not...but thats ok!

 

Vegetarian Pros and Cons

A quick breakdown of what you really need to know.

 

Pros:

Contribute to solving:

-World hunger (it takes more energy to raise and produce animal meat than the meat itself provides)
-Deforestation (forests and rain forests are being cut down to provide grazing land for animals)
-Soil erosion (grazing animals that eat the grass strip the land and make it vulnerable to wind and soil erosion, thereby destroying prime agricultural land)
-Disease (vegetarian diets reduce the risk of heart disease, atherosclerosis, diabetes, obesity, cancer...)

-It's cheaper (dairy and meat products are expensive.)
-Vegetarians will not contract mad cow disease!
-It's cool; (Albert Einstein was vegetarian, Paul McCartney of The Beatles is.)

Cons:

-Meat tastes great and is filling.
-There may be some resistance and criticism from non-vegetarian family members.
-The Canadian Food Guide does not provide guidelines for vegetarians. Research must be done and attention paid to nutrition to avoid zinc and iron deficiencies, illness, anemia.
-It takes a lot of effort and creativity to avoid the boredom of salads.
-People get anxious and uptight when a vegetarian is invited for dinner.

I wish I could be a vegetarian. But, alas, I need my fish and chicken. I could live without beef. I mean, the word beef is disgusting itself. I mean, I feel bad when I eat cows....but not when I eat chicken or fish. Chicken are annoying and they're are plenty of fish. I think my family would go like this o__O Then laugh at me!

OH! Ok, go to the MCR fanpage thingy on buzznet and go to..forums or something. There is this post that someone...posted and it is a video of Gerard talking about the kiss with Frank. Someone is like "Can you do it again?" And Gerard is like "Hell no!" It is so funny!
saradoll91: 08/02/2007 5:51 PM
NO I WANT HIM TO DO IT AGAIN! ill look for it later! i wanna see it.
Kellyx125: 08/02/2007 5:52 PM
lol!! He probably isn't going to do it again because Gerard said he was doing it for payback. I wonder what Frank did....?
saradoll91: 08/02/2007 5:57 PM
hmm.....what would frank not do is the question!! haha i wanna know. well there might be some touching..hopefully. haha
Kellyx125: 08/02/2007 5:59 PM
That is a really good question! I wonder what me and you will do if anything like that happens...? Like you said, you would pee your pants...I'd probably join along and scream at the same time...then laugh REALLY hard!
