Sawyer decided to be a vegetarian he did this because he was told it would add more years to your life so Sawyer went his whole life being a vegetarian Then around the age of 90 sawyers friends that were meat eaters begin to die but sawyer thought he had a few more years then them because he was a vegetarian but no he actually only lived 2 more months than them He wasted so many opportunities just to be vegetarian and it did nothing for him This story has happened many times over and it is still happening Let me give you a few reasons why being a vegetarian is the wrong choice For starters being a vegetarian makes it difficult to get the nutrients you would usually get from meat Vegetarians think that by eating no meat it is a better diet and is more healthy for you but without the calories and nutrients that you get from meat you can get something that is called vitamin deficiency For example in the article 7 Nutrients that you can get from Plant Foods it says Carnosine is an antioxidant that is concentrated in the muscles and brain It is very important for muscle function and high levels of carnosine in muscles are linked with reduced muscle fatigue and improved performance
