If you really set your mind to it, what would be your reason for becoming vegetarian? Would you become vegetarian to:

Reduce Cruelty to Animals - Improve Your Health? - Improve the Environment?

Medical evidence to support the belief that meat is bad for you is persuasive. However, there are natural vegetarian alternatives, that will be delicious alternatives to the meat that is unnecessary in a vegetarian diet.

Vegetarians are far less prone to get cancer, heart disease, osteoporosis, or diabetes.

Vegetarians are far less prone to be overweight, or classed as obese.

Vegetarians dont consume germs carried by dead animals, or remnants of the drugs that were perversely used to keep them alive.

Food scandals have been evidenced in lots of countries, but the bigger scandal is when they are covered up. There was a senior government official, who was required to resign and discredited, for stating the truth about salmonella and eggs. Cant really say whether the person concerned is vegetarian or not! Nevertheless, its not only the eggs that can cause the illness, but the chickens as well. We are advised about not allowing them to come into contact with other foods, to avoid cross contamination. Vegetarians dont buy the chickens, so they avoid the risk.

There are other reasons for converting to being a vegetarian, than protecting yourself from disease. Consider the animals themselves? Were we really put on this earth to cram chickens into cages, with hardly any space to move about? Then debeak them to stop them pecking one another, and fill them full of drugs, to try to stop them from becoming diseased, from the foul situation imposed on them.

Vegetarians are aware that it is not just poultry, but lots of other animals that are subjected to the horrors of factory farming. We should be grateful for the publicity of the media, because they do occasionally bring consideration to these matters, and point attention to problems that governments would much prefer to hush up.

There has been a good deal of thought to draw attention to global warming, which is undoubtedly of significant concern, as much to vegetarians as anyone else. However, it is not always understood that animal waste is a substantial factor. There are reports that US livestock produce 250,000 pounds of waste per second. That is twenty times as much as humans. The waste is a gaseous substance, that adds to the methane dispersing into the air from both ends of these animals. Obviously if more people were vegetarian, fewer animals would be required. It is apparent that there are environmental reasons - as well as humane reasons - as well as health reasons - for being a vegetarian.

For the planets sake, For the animals sake, For your own sake - Remain a Vegetarian.
