http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=669961 The purpose of this source is to persuade people to be vegetarians and not eat meat because they said, "Lifelong vegetarians visit hospital 22% less often than meat eaters and for shorter stays." The author’s viewpoint of the article is that people who become vegetarians live longer and have more successful lives, because they said, “If we eat the plants we grow instead of feeding them to animals, the world's food shortage will disappear virtually overnight. Remember that 100 acres of land will produce enough beef for 20 people but enough wheat to feed 240 people.” Also they said, “Vegetarians have a 20% lower blood cholesterol level than meat eaters and this reduces heart attack and cancer risks considerably.” The author doesn't have any conflicting evidence because if they did then they wouldn't be persuading them. This website is a little bit opinionated and it isn’t really biased, but it’s mostly facts. I would say this website is reliable but not if you want to write a paper on why people should be vegetarians.
