Non-vegetarian

Non-vegetarian means someone who eats meat, fish, and other animal products. When animals like cows, pigs, and chickens are raised for food, they are often kept in small spaces called farms. Some people believe that it is okay to eat animals because they are a good source of protein and other nutrients that help us grow and stay healthy. However, some people choose to be vegetarian because they believe that killing animals for food is wrong or because they want to reduce their impact on the environment. Some non-vegetarians eat only certain types of meat, like chicken or fish, while others eat all kinds of meat. It is important to know where our food comes from and to make choices that are healthy and sustainable for ourselves and our planet.
