Leonardo Da Vinci argued that god did not give humans the right to eat animals. As

Leonardo, many of the greatest thinkers considered being vegetarian as a better choice for

living. Einstein, Leo Tolstoy, , Kant, Descartes and many others embrace the same thought.

What made them believe in that? There are many reasons for us to be vegetarians, some of 

them are : improving our health and longevity, being merciful to animals and it is simply the

way of nature for us human.

The first reason for us not to eat meat that it could do a lot of harm to our health. Meat

contains a high level of cholesterol, which is one of the main reason for heart diseases. While in

do you see yourself while killing it? I don’t think that a civilized and a sensitive human will do it

easily, and as Bernard show said ” Animal are my friends, and I don’t kill my friends. 

We would think that eating meat is just following our instinct, and it’s the natural way for us

human to feed. Some also think that this is the way our ancients used to get nurtured. The truth

is “ as proven by anthropologist’ that early human only consumed meet when they could not

find other foods. Therefore, we can say that human were natured to be herbivore. Being

vegetarian means being natural.

If we choose the path of vegetarians we choose the path of wisdom, the path of mercy and

high moral standards. The science has also proven that vegetarians are healthier and live

longer. Also it proves that this is the most natural way to get food. My question to you now,

What are you waiting to start being a vegetarian !?
