Moving toward vegetarianism is an excellent way to live more sustainably. Meat is an extremely inefficient use of grains, vegetation, and water. A diet including meat contributes much more to global warming through its carbon footprint than a vegetarian diet does.

How, for example, do you eat a well-balanced diet rich in all the different types of nutrients you need to be healthy? The article Getting Past the 'Protein Myth' That Keeps People from Quitting Meat and Dairy examines one common concern about vegetarianism: how vegetarians get their protein.
