Nowadays, we hear a lot of people moving towards vegetarianism - from celebrities
to models and to a lot of health enthusiasts. For years there has been an on-going
debate on whether or not a vegetarian diet is healthy and aids weight loss. A
Vegetarian diet can be divided into three parts that is - total vegetarian, lacto
vegetarian and lacto-ovo vegetarian. A pure vegetarian diet includes fruits, nuts,
vegetables, fruits, grains, and legumes. The lacto vegetarian diet contains dairy
products like milk, butter, cheese etc., and plant food. According to the Delhi
based nutritionist, Pooja Malhotra, ''the lacto-vegetarian diets are very
practical, easy to plan, wholesome diets.They certainly help in losing weight
without compromising on nutrients. These are recommended for both adults and kids.
'' On the other hand, lacto-ovo vegetarian food includes eggs and dairy products
like milk, butter, cheese and so on. No doubt a vegetarian diet is full of vitamins
and minerals, fiber, magnesium, unsaturated fat and folic acid. Such diet protects
us from various diseases like diabetes, heart diseases, controls blood pressure,
and prevents us from cancer and lower cholesterol levels. A non-vegetarian diet
includes chicken, meat, eggs and fish. A non-vegetarian diet also has several
health benefits because this type of food is rich in protein and vitamin B. Non-
vegetarian food strengthens our muscles and helps them grow faster. It also helps
to maintain body stamina and hemoglobin.

There is no doubt that the farming methods currently being used as the primary
model in the United States will end up sacrificing the environment and human
health. From a dietary perspective, your nutritional type will determine what ratio
of fats, carbohydrates and protein your body needs to thrive.

I believe it's safe to say we all need some of each of these three categories, but
our bodies require different ratios of each. This means that some people will
thrive on very large amounts of vegetables and very little animal protein. For
others, this ratio would spell disaster for their health, and they will need
greater amounts of animal protein.Here are some advantages of a meat diet:
1. Protein: A non-vegetarian diet which primarily includes meat, fish, eggs and
dairy food is a good source of protein. However, protein can also be found in
cereal products, nuts and pulses but these protein sources are incomplete.

2. Vitamin B 12: Vitamin B 12 and iron found in meat, fish, eggs and milk are in
abundance. It is very important for the formation of red blood cells and nerve
fibres. If our bodies do not produce enough red blood cells it can lead to iron
deficiency known as anaemia. The deficiency of iron or vitamin B 12 can result in
fatigue.

3. Fitness: Meat, chicken and fish along with eggs, protects our body from the
excessive cold weather during winters. Eggs and fish provide us the essential
vitamins, proteins, nutrients and minerals that are good for your overall health.

4. Enhanced wisdom- According to the medical science, a diet constituting of sea

food like fish and eggs sharpen our intellect and promote the smooth functioning of
our brain. This ultimately accelerates our wisdom.

Growing number of avid animal lovers in Korea recognize pets as an important part
of their lives and advocate broader rights for animals. The government estimates
that about 10 million people in the country raise some 4 million pets. Exact
figures are not available. According to a survey on 2,096 households by the
Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, 21.8 percent of households were
living with pets as of 2015, a 25 percent increase from 2010. Awareness of animal
rights was noticeable among the surveyed households, with 92.9 percent of them
supporting stricter punishment for animal abuse.

Cho Hee-kyung, head of the Korean Animal Welfare Association, noted that the
country has come a long way in raising public awareness of animal rights and
expanding animal welfare. ��The animal advocacy movement began around 1999, with
animal rights groups addressing the issue of abandoned animals and dog meat
trade,�� Cho told The Korea Herald. ��Many people started to sympathize with
animals and refrained from viewing them as products.�� ��There are still owners
irresponsibly raising pets, but now society has built a norm that people raise pets
only when they can responsibly take care of them.�� Several amendments made to the
Animal Protection Act, which took effect in 1991, are a reminder of the maturing
animal rights movement.

Korea enacted the Animal Protection Act to broadly define responsibility of animal
caretakers and owners to feed, house and care for their pets. It also stipulated a
ban on animal abuse or inhumane slaughter. After the bill was revised in 2011, the
punishment for those violating the law increased from 5 million won ($4,300) or a
six-month jail term to 10 million won or a one-year prison term. In January,
animals rights group Animal Arirang launched a petition on major web portal Daum to
include clauses related to animal rights in the Constitution. ��If rules about
animal protection and welfare are added in the Constitution, it will prevent anti-
animal actions such as abuse,�� the group said. As of Wednesday, 1,801 individuals
had signed the petition.

In 2015, 12 out of 58 bills related to protecting animals passed through the

National Assembly. Several bills for the expansion of the pet registration system
and tougher punishments for animal abuse are pending in the parliament. Cho pointed
out that one of the major achievements in Korea��s fight for animal rights was a
passage of the anti-animal testing bill. The bill is to ban companies from testing
cosmetics and other products on animals by 2018. ��Korea began to talk about animal
welfare in zoos and tougher penalties for those abusing animals,�� she said.
��Based on what we have achieved, society should move forward to better implement
the law and institutions in reality. Pet lovers have spurred the pet industry, with
the government estimating that the market was worth 1.8 trillion won in 2015. If it
grows at the current pace, the market will be worth 5.8 billion won by 2020. These
days, companies are scrambling to roll out services such as medical insurance,
nursing system, funeral ceremonies and TV programs about animal welfare. A slew of
events for families and their pets are also being hosted by municipalities. For
instance, Gangwon Pet Festival, which will involve pets and their owners in
activities such as running a race and a dancing class, will be held on Sunday. A
similar event is scheduled for May 7 in Seongnam City. The government also founded
a task force team encompassing relevant ministries and animal advocacy groups to
lay out detailed plans and a budget to improve conditions for animals in the
country. It plans to mandate training centers, animal cafes and beauty salons for
dogs to register with the government before they open for business. It will also
increase medical insurance coverage for animals and create more jobs to take care
of animals.

Yuval Noah Harari, the author of Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, makes clear
that his subject is the lone surviving branch of the genus Human that first emerged
in Africa over two million years ago. As the lone survivors, in Harari's view,
there's been a price to pay for our rapid success. "Having so recently been one of
the underdogs of the savannah," writes Harari, "we are full of fears and anxieties
over our position, which makes us doubly cruel and dangerous. Many historical
calamities, from deadly wars to ecological catastrophes, have resulted from this
over-hasty jump." The development of language and the ability to communicate
abstractions was the key to this success. Thanks to those tools, humankind has
accumulated numerous assets for sophisticated species, for instance, religion,
arts, culture, economics, politics, and law.

Most of our large-scale practices involving animals-raising or capturing them for

good, hunting them for sport, using them as subjects in research and product
testing, etc-impose costs on animals in order to yield benefits for humans. As
expanded, and non-discriminatory, cost/benefit framework is capable of justifying
such practices when our collective benefits clearly outweigh their collective
costs. But it is equally capable of condemning them when, as is more commonly the
case, we inflict significant harms on animals for the sake of benefits which are
both trivial and dispensable(L. W. Sumner).
