Vegetartianism

VEGETARIANISM Vegetarianism as defined by The World Book Dictionary as "the practice or principle of eating only vegetable foods and refraining from eating meat, fish, or other animal products".

Over 12 million Americans and countless others, from all over the world, have turned to the vegetarian diet. …

…the medical community, now, is about the high rate of disease caused by fatty foods, many of which stem from the high consumption of meat and dairy products. Today's doctor is far more likely to be afraid of the high quantities of meat and dairy products that people consume than about the absence of it. It does not seem that implausible if the diet of choice for everyone would one day be the vegetarian diet.
