Weren't you vegetarian at one point?
vegetarianism is a healthy lifestyle to those who can afford the money to buy organic (real organic, not just some marketing crap) vegetables or to those who can grow their own crops accordingly. my family grew and bought organic foods for nine years and ate a strict vegetarian diet. however, it would be impossible to run this capitalist world normally if we all started leading this lifestyle, because not everyone can afford to grow or buy organic foods. besides, i stopped being a vegetarian because i found out tofu and bean sprouts are GMO (genetically modified organisims) and this can be potentially harmful in the long run. but if i continued a diet without protein, it's unbalanced, so now i occasionally eat fish or meat.
