Vegetarianism: Exploring Health, Environment, and Ethics
Vegetarianism is more than just a diet—it’s a lifestyle that brings together health, environmental care, and ethical values. People choose plant-based eating to improve their well-being, reduce their impact on the planet, or follow cultural and moral beliefs.
Eating more fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes can lower the risk of chronic diseases, cut greenhouse gas emissions, and help protect forests, water, and land. For many, it’s also a way to show compassion toward animals and support a more sustainable future.
