【Essay】Should everyone adapt a vegetarian diet?
Theme:
Everyone should adopt a vegetarian diet because eating meat can cause serious health problems. Do you agree or disagree?
------------------------------
I disagree it. I have several reasons. At first, I assume that the definition of a vegetarian is to eat only vegetables. When I was a university student, I studied chemistry, some proteins can't be produced by the human body. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, and amino acids that cannot be produced by the body are called essential amino acids. If these are insufficient, it will lead to malfunction such as difficulty in recovering from injuries. In fact, when comparing vegetables with meat, it's difficult to get enough essential amino acids from vegetables.
The second reason is that eating only vegetables can make you sick. For example, spinach contains a lot of oxalic acid. When a large amount of oxalic acid is ingested, calcium oxalate may be produced by combining with calcium ions flowing in the blood. Foods high in oxalate increase a possibility of recurrence of calculus. Therefore, I disagree the opinion that everyone should adopt a vegetarian diet.
