Mankind and the nature are mutuality, and all lives have the right to pursuit happiness and fearlessness. The results which this research reaches are：（1）Vegetarianism is not bound to be the product of religions.（2）Everyone is born to bear purposes, duties, and missions.（3）Animal foods are questioned by the main scientific communities. The most conservative and traditional medical professions are also urging people to reduce the consummation of meat and other animal foods, even appeal us to omit animal foods from our food.（4） ”Hunger is the disease which is caused by the unfair and unefficient control of food,” and business exploitation is undoubtedly the prime cause. The facts are that the agriculture and food of the poorest countries are destroyed, forests are deforested for grazing, the disadvantages in international markets, and are depressed by negative effects made by international companies that control international agriculture and meat economical systems.（5）Meat, eggs, and milk affect our health. These research discoveries can explain an fact that in the areas that consume meat commonly, like northern America and western Europe, are most likely to affect intestinal cancers, but in the countries which are vegetarian, like India, rarely happened. In the USA, the morbidity of intestinal cancers ranks 2nd which is just lower than the highest morbidity of lung cancers. In Scotlant, the morbidity of intestinal cancers is above the whole world. To summarize the research discoveries, we can reach a concrete conclusion that through healthy supply systems, vegetarian can not only increase human health but also the balance development of ecology. The results of the excessive consummation of meat will be harmful to the development of the earth ecology. Key words：vegetarianism the life caring religious education religious socialization animal rights the life of protected negative effects consumerist hunger
