Unit 1 Vegetarian Diets
Listening Comprehension
Some people don't eat meat. They're vegetarians. What do they eat? Why do they
become vegetarians? How do they get enough protein?
There are different kinds of vegetarians. Some eat fish and chicken. Some don't eat
any meat all. Others don't even eat dairy products. They don't drink milk or eat
cheese. They don't eat animal products at all. Then why would someone give up meat?
Some people become vegetarians for health reasons. Vegetarians eat lots of fruits
and vegetables. These foods have many health benefits. They digest much quicker
than meat. So vegetarians don't have as many stomach problems. Also, vegetarian
diets have little fat. This means vegetarians are less likely to be overweight. And they
are more likely to have strong hearts.
Some people become vegetarians for other reasons. They believe it’s wrong to eat
animals. For them, it’s cruel to raise animals for food. Other people believe raising
animals for food is bad for the environment. For example, farmers need a lot of water.
Also, the animals make a lot of waste. The waste makes pollution.
Most people get their protein from meat. But vegetarians get protein from beans and
nuts. Tofu also has lots of protein. Besides that, many people eat vegetarian-friendly
meat. They have burgers, chicken and bacon. But this “meat” is made from soybeans.
So it’s not really meat at all.
