5 reasons why people become vegetarians
The modern world is divided in half: on those who consume meat and on those who do not use animal products. Probably, many of the first half of the population asked the question: “How can people eliminate meat, fish, poultry from their diet?” And, most likely, vegetarians have answers to these questions.
First you need to clarify that there are several types of vegetarianism:
1) Lacto-vegetarians. These people admit the presence in the diet of dairy products (cheese, cottage cheese, sour cream, etc.), but they do not consume eggs. Vegetarians living in India and the Mediterranean regions can be referred to this group of people;
2) Ovo vegetarians. Naturally, there are vegetarians who use only eggs from dairy products and this item is about these people;
3) Lacto-ovo vegetarians. Most likely, you have already guessed everything. Of course, this type of vegetarians consume all types of dairy products, including eggs.
4) Vegans. But the last type of vegetarianism is very strict. Vegans do not recognize in their diet neither eggs nor any dairy products. Very often they protest against all products for the manufacture of which animal products were used.
In addition to eating habits, vegetarians often sort other products as well. For example, often a vegetarian will not wear clothes that are made of real leather, fur, etc. Or will not use products that have been tested on animals.
So, with sorts figured out. Now you can talk about the reasons why people choose such a lifestyle – vegetarianism.

1) Moral principles. People may opt out of meat, poultry and other animal products due to their great love for animals. Namely, they do not eat meat because they do not want to harm our smaller brothers;
2) Religious factor. For example, Orthodox people have more days per year – fast days. And, as you know, on fasting days it is forbidden to include products of animal origin in your menu;
3) Habit since childhood. Well, let’s say parents are vegetarians. What will they teach children? That’s right, love animals and not eat them and their products for food;
4) Allergy. A banal allergy to this type of product can push a person to change their lifestyle and become vegan;
5) Improving health and losing weight. Naturally, having refused meat, a person begins to consume more cereals, cereals, vegetables, and accordingly loses weight.
In poor countries, there is such a reason as inaccessibility to many types of products, including products of animal origin.

Why spoil your nerves by eating potatoes with vegetables and at the same time introducing meat? Or, for example, you are not lovers of fruits and vegetables. Your diet will consist of cereals, potatoes and baking? Then you can earn big problems with digestion.
