Just to clarify, there were some comments about omega-3 fatty acids in relation to proteins.
Amino acids (the building blocks of protein) are completely different from fatty acids.
Both are essential in the diet. Just completely different things.
As far as the different arguments for vegetarianism, one of the best reasons is for improved health. Look around and see the epidemic of obese people having heart attacks by age 50. A vegetarian diet can be excellent for heart health.
The conditions we keep farm livestock in are appalling. I would rather see improved standards for the care of farm animals, even if it means paying more for my groceries.
