What does all this food have in common?
Its all 100% vegetarian.
Don't be worried, this isn't going to be a shock or guilt topic.
For years humans have had the technology to go completely vegetarian and vegan. ( I'm not vegan because I get some of my protein from eggs) Its just
the fact that meat makes money and thats the only reason were still eating meat.
Some of you may be concerned about your health or weight.
Others of you feel sorry for the animals that are used to make your meals.
Maybe you would like to go green? (real green, not al gore green)
Either way, before you click the back button on your browser take a look at some of these facts:
•Plants yield 10 times more protein per acre than meat.
•Most vegetarians have lower cholesterol levels than meat eaters.
•Vegetarians have fewer cases of colon cancer and digestive problems.
•Health conditions, such as diabetes, obesity, gallstones, and kidney stones, are much less common in vegetarians.
•Twenty-thousand pounds of potatoes can be grown on one acre of land, but only 165 pounds of beef can be produced in the same space.
•Forty-five percent of the total land in this country is used to raise animals for food or crops to feed these animals.
•Rainforests, vital to earth's oxygen supply, are being destroyed at an alarming rate - the top cause is the raising of animals for food.
•
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, factory farming pollutes U.S. waterways more than all industrial sources combined.
I don't want to hear about people saying humans were created to eat meat because of our incisors (which is completely incorrect, because we don't
have the correct kind of incisors dedicated to eating meat. Look at a monkeys teeth or more accurately a lions)
People also say animals kill animals everyday so therefore it must be correct to feed off of other animals. If you're that dedicated to trying to
remain as intelligent as animals then I suggest logging off the computer as its past your time era.
Complaining about the price of going vegetarian isn't an effective argument against vegi food either because people always factor regular groceries +
meat + vegetarian food... which to this day I don't understand why they would still factor in meat. The prices of meat are skyrocketing and the taxes
are increasing to "save the earth" Who would want to buy meat with chemicals and viruses sprayed all over it anyways.
Going vegetarian or just cutting down on meat intake is not a very radical life change. Now days its as easy as changing the brand of food you
buy.
Morningstar is my favorite brand for almost everything while Boca has a monopoly on my ground hamburger.
Now I would like to challenge everyone to a test. The test is to buy a pack of these vegetarian ribs the next time they are at the grocery store and
prepare them as you normally would with meat for your family dinner. (Don't tell them it isn't real meat until their done
most people are
wayyy too judgemental)
To be honest, I REALLY think you will buy them again. The taste just dumbfounds me.
On an ending note: Imagine if all omnivores (if you think your a carnivore; your ignorant) reduced their meat intake by only
50%. 3.5 BILLION
(half the number of every human on earth) animals would not die per year. Imagine all the carbon those animals may emit. Think about the impact
vegetarianism could have on your health as well not to mention its another great way of sticking it to the man. Now thats healthy AND green!
Alas, what wickedness to have one living creature fed by the death of another... in the midst of such wealth as Earth, the best of Mothers,
provides.
