Answer 1

Advantage - Healthy
Disadvantage - Boring

Answer 2

Advantages: If you eat right and seek medical advisory before hand you will find yourself eating better. Less trips to fast food resteraunts maybe? That's one reason that people become vegetarians, it pushes a healthier life style. There are meat alternative that are sold at the grocery stores. There's such good food out therethat doesn't contain animal meat. The main reason though is because of the belief of the individual. I don't believe that eating an animal is right, which is, I guess you could call, an advantage?

Disadvantage: Low iron and protein levels. You will have to take suppliments. Some meat alternative will have to be doubled in proportion to get the same level of what the body needs. If you do it improperly, take to eating unhealthy food, you will be miserable. No energy, bad mood, body aches ect.

It really depends on what kind of vegetarian you become.. If you are planning on eliminating all meats.. please visit a specialist and listen to your body. Good luck though.

When I lived in a different area of Iowa, near the University of Iowa, there were more vegetarian options at the grocery and restaurants. I would get tired of having to think of new stuff.Now that I live in a small town near Wisconsin there is not the options I had there. The cuisine is very meat based. And the few vegetarian options are more expensive.
