Introduction

There are many reasons why people become vegetarians. In some places meat is expensive, maybe their religion doesn't allow it, or maybe it's just because of health reasons. The motivation to becoming a vegetarian is endless. The only downside of being a vegetarian is watching what you eat. They have to make sure they're getting their iron, calcium, protein, vitamin D, vitamin B12, and zinc. Because they don't eat meat, fish, or poultry, they have to get their protein elsewhere, like in beans. Besides watching what they eat, everything is a plus. They are less likely to get heart disease because they don't consume any saturated fats from meat, and more likely to have more energy from their healthy diet.
