Vegetarianism is on the rise. Most restaurants
nowadays carry vegetarian items on their
menus and the thoughtful hostess makes sure
that ·she has included at least two or three
vegetarian items, other than the ever-present
salad, to cater to the herbivores among her
guests. Vegetarians are no longer regarded as
ascetics or, worse, oddities. They are generally
accepted as people who have chosen an
alternative food option.
Most vegetarians eat only vegetables,
fruits, nuts and grains although some
supplement their diet with eggs and dairy
products. According to The Sunday Star of
June 27, 1999, vegetarians can be classified
into three groups:
• Vegans are the strictest. They abstain from
all meat and meat prodµcts, dairy products
and eggs.
• Lactovegetarians consume dairy products.
• Ovolactovegetarians supplement their diet
with eggs as well as dairy products.
Most people become vegetarians for
health reasons. A vegetarian diet is generally
low in fat and sugar content and therefore
adds up to fewer calories than a diet which
contains meat. It Is also high In fibre and this
makes it useful for people who want to lose
weight. Research has shown that vegetarians
~• generally leas Prone to Illnesses like
diabetN and heart problems.
Oeaplte
Its obvious benefits a
waltarlan diet has to be carefully balanc~d to
ensure that essential nutrients like protein,
vitamins and minerals are present in the diet.
Lack of certain nutrients can cause illnesses.
It is important for vegetarians to vary
their diet so that they get all the necessary
nutrients required for good health. Most
vegetarian diets lack protein. However, the
soya bean is a good source of protein and its
products can be found in almost every
Chinese vegetarian meal. The fact that soya
products can be made to look and taste like
meat has made them a favourite with people
who have stopped eating meat.
Most breakfast cereals are also a very
good sourqe of nutrition for vegetarians as they
are generally enriched with vitamins and
- minerals such as vitamin 812 and iron. A
deficiency in vitamin B12 can cause anemia.
In addition, vegetarians who do not
. consume dairy products need to eat green--
leafy vegetables like spinach, mustard greens
and . kailan to ensure that they get their
required amount of calcium. Zinc, a mineral
normally fou nd in seafOOd and essential for the
Immune system, can be obtained from whole
grains, nuts and soya beans.
On the Whole, vegetarians live Ion er
and have fewer health problems than
whol eat meat. However, they must ensure that
u!e (
the r meals are carefully 1 •
nutrients they might mis~ ~romnned to include ~e
meat. not consuming
