It's the 21st Century and you're still eating meat? March 20 is the Great American Meatout and people across the globe will be celebrating this important special day by taking the vegpledge, a pledge to go vegetarian. There are many great reasons to adapt a complete vegetarian or vegan diet; compassion for animals, social and environmental responsibility, health, and economics. To clarify, I'm specifically talking about factory farm feedlot meat. Whichever reason motivates you to take the vegpledge, congratulations on making an important decision that affects all walks of life on Mother Earth! In the 21st Century, there is no need to consume animal protein. Howard Lyman, the Mad Cowboy, says, "all humans need additional cholesterol as much as a drowning man needs a glass of water". Cholesterol, excessive protein, high fat, and a clogged colon are good enough reasons alone to kick the meat habit.
Adapting a complete healthy balanced vegan plant-based diet is one of the most important steps you can take to reduce your carbon footprint on Mother Earth and reduce human and animal suffering. Sir Paul McCartney sums it all up: "If anyone wants to save the planet, all they have to do is just stop eating meat. That's the single most important thing you could do." There is a bounty of wonderful websites that have helpful resources and wonderful delicious recipes to guide you and help you become a wise healthy vegetarian or vegan. Please be good to yourself and your health and let the mammals roam, the birds fly, and the fish swim. Happy Great American Meatout Day!

The thought is good, but where are you going to grow all these vegetables for the people to eat? If they would quit turning all the good farm ground into Walmarts maybe it would be an option! But until we quit building monsterous Houses & shopping Malls we are screwed. Also do your homework its not all the cows that are the problem, it is all the cows in FEEDLOTS that are the problem. If cows are raised on pasture land and allowed to graze all that methane gas goes back into the earth where it is suppose to be, not out into the air! I love my veges, but I also like my meat on occasion too, but I also chose to eat free range meat, not FEEDLOT meat. Yes we all need to help, but don't blame it on the cows or eating the cows, put the blame where it needs to go...ON THE PEOPLE OF THIS PLANET. We are the ones destroying the earth and no one else.
ReplyDeleteI understand and I agree. To clarify, I am referring to feedlot meat. I edited the post to clarify that.
