I once had a conversation with my friend on being vegetarian. He asked me Are you Vegetarian?, I said Yes. Then he said that he is also a Vegetarian but he eats fish. I said dude seriously you eat fish and you are saying you are vegetarian.

Now the funny part, "How a friend will introduce you to his friends if you are a vegetarian?". Hey, all this is my friend and he is a vegetarian. Seriously this is the introduction!
Now coming to the health benefit of being vegetarian. Do you know Brad Pitt, Steven Spielberg and many are becoming vegetarian due to the health concerns? According to American Diabetic Association vegetarians are at lower risk for developing Heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and hypertension. There are a number of reasons for becoming vegetarian. Some people are vegetarian because they are following some religion. Some people are vegetarian because they are against animal cruelty. Some believe that being vegetarian is overall a healthy diet to follow.
How many times have you asked a vegetarian why they are vegetarian and end up having an argument with them. The most common question to vegetarians is, what you eat since you don't have enough varieties of food.
According to a great scientist Einstein: "Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet." And I can proudly say I am a Vegeterian.
