Beging Vegetrian
Becoming Vegetarian
I believe being a meat eater is healthier than being a vegetarian.
Firstly I am going to talk about my own experience as a vegetarian in Australia for 8 months .Secondly; I am going to provide some medical research. Finally, I am going to give another 2 examples to argue that vegetarianism is not the healthy alternative.

Medical research show that vegetarians have lower body mass that non vegetarians, but being lean does not always protect people from illnesses such as diabetes, heart attack and stroke.
The Oxford University recently conducted a five year study involving 35,000 individuals aged between 20 and 89, and found that vegetarian people are 30% more prone to break a bone.
