Body 2:
Advantages of eating meat
Now take a look at the model answer.
Model Answer
Every one of us should become a vegetarian because eating meat can
cause serious health problems.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Vegetarianism is becoming more and more popular for many people,
particularly because of the harm that some people believe meat can cause to
the body. However, I strongly believe that it is not necessary for everybody
to be a vegetarian.
Vegetarians believe that meat is unhealthy because
of the diseases it has been
connected with. There has been much research to suggest that red meat is
particularly bad, for example, and that consumption
should be limited to
eating it just a few times a week to avoid such things as cancer. Meats can
also be high in saturated fats so they have been linked to health problems
such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
However, there are strong arguments for eating meat.
The first reason is that
as humans we are designed to eat meat, which suggests it is not unhealthy,
and we have been eating meat for thousands of years. For example, cavemen
made hunting implements so that they could kill animals and eat their meat.
Secondly, meat is a rich source of protein which
helps to build muscles and
bones. Vegetarians often have to take supplements to get all the essential
vitamins and minerals. Finally, it may be the case that too much meat is
harmful, but we can easily limit the amount we have
without having to cut it
out of our diet completely.
To sum up, I do not agree that everyone should turn to a vegetarian diet.
Although the overconsumption of meat could possibly be unhealthy, a
balanced diet of meat and vegetables should result in a healthy body.
