View source for Vegetarianism and religion

Vegetarianism is a dietary practice that involves the exclusion of meat and, in some cases, other animal products from one's diet. This practice is often associated with religious and spiritual beliefs, and is observed by followers of many different religions, including hinduism, jainism, buddhism, and seventh-day adventism. In many religions, vegetarianism is viewed as a means of promoting non-violence, compassion, and ethical treatment of animals. Additionally, some religious texts, such as the bible and the quran, contain dietary guidelines that encourage the consumption of plant-based foods and the avoidance of certain animal products. While vegetarianism may have potential health benefits, it is important to ensure that a vegetarian diet provides all of the necessary nutrients for good health, including protein, iron, calcium, and vitamin b12. Additionally, the diet may not be appropriate for people with certain health conditions or dietary restrictions, who may need to follow a specialized diet. <br>{{diets}} [[category:diets]]
