Description :
As we know it, multiple dietary choices are available with benefits and someof their drawbacks. The perfect diet is when all of the necessary nutrients are derived from the food. There are many reasons why people choose to go vegetarian or vegan. Some are compelled by the environmental impact of confinement animal feeding operations (CAFO). Others are guided by ethical concerns or religious reasons. We should respect these reasons and appreciate anyone who thinks deeply about the social and spiritual impact of their food choices—even if our own exploration of these questions has led us to a different answer. The aim of this paper is to differentiate between vegan and vegetarian diet and its impact on human health. However, health of a person might be the most common reason to choose become a vegetarian or vegan. But due to personal beliefs about animals differ and world hunger remains a remote reality to most people in industrialized nations, people do respond readily to the idea of personal benefit. A well-planned vegetarian diet can meet the needs of people of all ages, including children, teenagers, and pregnant or breast-feeding women. The key is to be aware of your nutritional needs so that you plan a diet that meets them. A vegan diet is a mere version of vegetarianism in which any followers should not harm any animal by any means.
