__**Definition**__
Vegetarians are people who do not eat any meat. They may eat dairy products and sometimes eggs, but usually they do not eat any meat at all.

__**Why do people follow this diet?**__
Vegetarians can be adopted for various reasons. For example they feel sorry for the animals killed and will refuse to eat the meat so that there will be less animals killed each year or for their health. Some people become vegetarians because of their health issues.

__**Foods that can/can't be eaten**__

 * Vegetables
 * Dairy free products
 * Meats

__**Benefits and constraints**__
Benefits of being Vegetarians is that they save the animals by not eating them and they are helping them in another way. Animals are badly treated to be sold to meat-eaters and the process of making meat is really bad and it's a kind of torture for the animals. Constraints of being Vegetarians is that they can't get enough vitamin B12.
