The vegetarian diet has gained popularity because of remarkable case reports of individuals who attributed recoveries from cancers with poor prognoses to macrobiotics and the substantial evidence that the many dietary factors recommended by macrobiotics are associated with decreased cancer risk. Women consuming macrobiotic diets have modestly lower circulating estrogen levels, suggesting a lower risk of breast cancer (Lawrence, 2001)
Additionally, studies have shown that diets with high amounts of cereals, grains, vegetables and fruits may help lower cancer risk due to their fibers and high antigen content. Other substances in these foods could also play an important role in disease prevention (Lykins, 1994)
Your body absorbs heme iron, which is found in meat, better than non-heme iron, found in plants. However, eating foods high in vitamin C during the same meal increases the absorption of non-heme iron (Murphy, 2002)

Vegetarian diets offer a well-balanced diet, which is vital for a human being. Meat and animal by-products are high contributors to high cholesterol, obesity, and diabetes (Forestell, Spaeth, & Kane, 2012)

" Food customs are largely arbitrary, based on ritual and social custom. Eating has long been a "social, often a religious, act, embellished by ritual and enjoyed as a primary celebration of membership" in a community (Scruton 82)
Lobster In a satirical and scathing critique of the Maine Lobster Festival, Wallace draws attention to the fact that lobsters are "basically giant sea-insects," and their purpose in the ecosystem is as "garbagemen of the sea, eaters of dead stuff," (2). Lobsters were "low-class food, eaten only by the poor and institutionalized," considered "cruel and unusual" punishment food much as rats would be considered today (Wallace 3)
Indeed, harvesting wool typically just involves the shearing of a sheep rather than its death but vegans typically take a pretty hard line on the matter. Some approach the pro-vegan or pro-vegetarianism lifestyle as a "movement" while others just point to the health effects of eating meat and how "we are what we eat" (Bisogni, Connors, Devine & Sobal, 2002)
In terms of the common American manifestations of meatless diets, veganism in particular has taken on a "status" and as a "movement" but that is not a reason to do or not do something, especially as it pertains to health (Larsson, Ronnlund, Johansson & Dahlgren, 2003). There has been a heavy correlation between the personal identity and the diet of people who engage in meatless diets/lifestyles (Fox & Ward, 2008)
