Dreams of a total transition of mankind to vegetarianism, which are present in the heads of some citizens who have given up meat, are still quite far from reality - experts say, talking about healthy eating.
“People tend to refuse animal food because of, for example, pity for animals. But this aspect is not as simple as it seems at first glance. Yes, cows and pigs, for example, are raised on farms solely to be killed and eaten, but if they were not raised, they would not have been born. Life in a slaughterhouse is certainly far from pleasant, but it is still life, that is, some kind of existence is still better than none,”the philosophers insert their five kopecks.
Speaking about the hypothetical transition to a vegetarian diet, which is supposed to be carried out by mankind in the future, scientists note that people biologically need substances that are easier and most logical to obtain from animal food.
“Vitamin B12, polyunsaturated fatty acids, as well as other substances vital for our body, can, of course, be obtained not only from meat, but it is quite costly. Maybe in the future they will create some new food technologies that will finally allow us to stop killing highly developed animals,”the ToDay News Ufa portal quotes specialists.
