     While doing research on if being a vegetarian helps your body I came across that not only does it do things for your body but it does things for the environment as well. While eating a steak or a chicken  you are effectively consuming the water that the animal has needed to live and grow. Vegetarian author John Robbins calculates it takes 60, 108, 168, and 229 pounds of water to produce one pound of potatoes, wheat, maize and rice respectively.
     Not eating meats will allow animals to live longer. Not only that but you will allow animals to produce more ingredients us humans will need in our life.
