Another drawback for those who are vegetarian
is that they will find it hard to have lunch
or dinner, especially for university students.
When the class time is up and all of the
students are heading to the cafeteria for lunch,
veggie students will f ind themselves heading
to convenience stores and eating their lunch
alone while their friends are talking and eating
with enjoyment. This is because there are not
many food shops that can provide them with
their favorite vegetarian dishes.
Finally, being vegetarian for students leads
them to lose more money. Unlike adults, teens’
stomachs have the ability to digest whatever
they have eaten; vegetarian food cannot last
long in their stomach. They will be starving
for more food right after eating their meal,
and end up at the school’s cafeteria or a local
market, spending their extra money on those
green salads with sticky and so-called low fat
salad dressing. By my observation at the local
market in campus, the prices of these
vegetarian diets depend on how much you
would like to eat and they can be as high as
50 baht per meal. Still, we are not talking about
the fullness they will get by eating this kind of
food instead of regular food.
In spite of all these reasons above, I do not
mean that being vegetarian is not right. It
is just that, in my point of view, the student
and teenage years are not the time to get into
vegetarianism. Teenage and student bodies
need something vital, such as the signif icant
minerals and nutrients found only in meat more
than in those high-f iber foods. Even so, you do
not have to struggle for your food every time
you are hungry. So why try to be veggie when
you can choose an easier way to live?
