Vegetarianism is a way to save and help the environment
Australian scientists have concluded that vegetarians save up to 25% of the family budget, and 5 times less polluting the atmosphere with greenhouse gases than people who eat meat. Nutritionists said that vegetarianism is healthier, cheaper and more environmentally friendly.
A large sample of respondents and long calculations showed that the cost of feeding a family of four adults is 508 dollars a week. A light-meat diet costs $418 a week, while vegetarianism only costs $394.
Scientists argued the benefits of vegetarianism by the fact that plant foods contain 2 times less fat and a quarter more folic acid and fiber.
In conclusion, nutritionists hope that the results of the study will force others to reconsider, and possibly change their diet.
