I just found out that vegetarianism goes way back to ancient India and Greece!
Wow, I didn't know the concept of vegetarianism dates back so far.
I heard that a big reason was the idea of nonviolence towards animals and tied to religious philosophies.
I wonder when people started doing it for health reasons.
I am not positive the actual dates, but it nearly disappeared in the 4th through 6th centuries.
What are some health benefits to being vegetarian?
I know the 2010 Affordable Care listed 10 categories of benefits, but I haven't looked at the regulation myself.
What are some common proteins vegetarians eat?
I am more familiar with the fact that the typical diet needs some fortification of iron and other essential proteins.
