On general, vegetables cost less than meat products. From cabbage, squash, carrots, potatoes, apples, oranges to bananas, all of them are a downright bargain. Of course, some of the gourmet greens like mesclun cost a lot more, but it still is nothing compare to Filet Mignon ;)

The bulk and soft texture of fiber help prevent hard, dry stools that are difficult to push out by absorbing many times their weight in water and expanding the inside walls of the colon. On the other hand, meat contains no fiber.
4. Lose Weight
A study shows that vegetarians on average weight less than non vegetarians. After converting to a vegetarian diet for six months, the calorie consumption of these people dropped by almost 200 calories per day. These newly converted vegetarians lost the weight without counting carbs and feeling hungry. They lost weight simply because vegetarian diet contains less fat.
