The world could be a better place if we were all vegetarians

     I partly agree with this statement, even if I can not consider myself a vegetarian. And there are a lot of arguments both for and against this interesting opinion.
     I am sure, that there could be much less animal violence in the world if everyone would keep a vegetarians' diet, but every human needs nutritious and valuable food to stay healthy. I can not agree with people who say that we could get all the nutrients from vegetables, may be the most, but certainly not all of them.
     However, the major of vegetarians claims are connected with cruel and consumer attitude to animals. they believe that we live in a modern world with a lot of facilities and we do not need to treat to our smaller brothers inhuman. In my opinion. vegetarianism and humane behavior towards animals are not connected. I suppose, that it is fair to grow animals for food, bot only widespread and numerous animals. Definitely not those, which are on the verge of distinction. From ancient times people needed to slaughter animals to survive, but thereat they could not realize how much harmful is it for animals population. Now we can, and furthermore we can compensate it.
     It is really important not to make animals a part of fashion and style, not to seek for an opportunity to show your exclusivity by eating uncommon dish made of rare animal or fish, not to wear animals' fur to show off then both animals and human beings will live in harmony together.

We should only buy food which is produced locally.

          I partly agree with this statement. There are too many reasons to eat locally produced food to stay indifferent.
          Of course when we eat the food which was produced in our county we can be more confident about the food value and freshness of this, but still how can we be absolutely sure?
I may seem a little bit selfish and uninterested in ecological problems in modern world, but the most important thing about it for me is the taste. I would prefer to eat delicious food which is brought from abroad, but to keep a various diet. I suppose that I'd better not abuse this kind of philosophy, but I can not deny myself a pleasure to eat what I want. But I am absolutely sure, that it is possible to combine this position with a minimum harm to our nature.
          The food which could be grown in your own country should not be brought from abroad. It is useless, is not it? We save money buying locally produced food, we give stay more healthy and seem not to treat so cold to ecological problems, keep eating anything we want!
