Reasons To Go Vegan
Those who eat flesh are far more likely to contract cancer than those following a vegan diet.
To keep up with U.S. consumption, 300 million pounds of meat are imported annually from Central and South America. This economic incentive impels these nations to cut down their forests to make more pastureland. The short-term gain ignores the long-term, irreparable harm to the earth's ecosystem. In effect these countries are being drained of their resources to put meat on the table of Americans while 75 percent all Central American children under the age of five are undernourished.
Another devastating result of deforestation is the loss of plant and animal species. Each year 1,000 species are eliminated due to destruction of tropical rainforests for meat grazing and other uses. The rate is growing yearly.
Many of the world's massive environmental problems could be solved by the reduction or elimination of meat-eating, including global warming, loss of topsoil, loss of rainforests and species extinction.
It only takes 1,150 litres of water to feed a Vegan, compared with 15,000 litres to feed a Meat-eater.
You don’t get salmonella from eating vegan cookie dough.
Livestock farm subsidies eat up your tax dollars.
To be slaughtered, chickens are hung by their feet and run through a mass production neck slicer machine.
Pigs scream in unison when they hear one of their own being killed.
Animals in the slaughterhouse hear the screams of those being slaughtered before them as they move toward their own deaths.
Fish don’t like to be hung by their face on a hook.
Dairy products made with stomachs don’t belong in yours. Cheese is curdled using rennet, aka sheep’s stomach.
Dairy cows are kept in a constant state of pregnancy and lactation to keep up with the human demand for milk. Like any mammal, cows only give milk when pregnant or nursing.
Veggie burgers don’t contain veins and lymphatic fluid.
High fiber vegan foods help reduce your risk of colon cancer.
Going vegan reduces your risk of impotence. Clogged arteries may inhibit your ability to...perform.
Vegan food is exciting. Discover tempeh, seitan, and nutritional yeast.
Male layer chicks are seen as useless and are killed shortly after birth, often by being discarded in trash bags to be crushed to death by the weight of their brothers.
Your veganism can save 35 animals a year.
Protein balancing is a myth. If you’re eating a reasonable vegan diet, your proteins will balance themselves.
Milk, it does no body good—except the corporate CEOs who promote it. Don’t accept nutrition information from a for-profit industry.
Baby cows are stolen from their mothers shortly after birth so they won’t drink their “valuable” milk.
Chickens, both factory farmed and free-range, have their beaks cut of with a hot wire and no anesthesia.
Vegan foods are all cholesterol free.
Ecoli comes from animal feces and is found in hamburger. Think about it.
Meat is full of antibiotics. Animals in overcrowded conditions are more likely to become ill, so large quantities of antibiotics are placed in their food in an attempt to stave off infection. This practice contributes to the evolution of heartier bacteria.
Animals would NOT run rampant if veganism became the norm. Factory farmed animals are bred excessively to keep up with consumer demand. If we stop buying, they’ll stop overbreeding and the numbers will go down.
Animals whose populations are hunted breed more frequently and have larger litters to compensate for their losses.
Less land is required to produce vegetables. It takes many pounds of grain to make one pound of animal flesh.
Veal calves live their lives in crates too small to turn around in.
Free range chickens are not required to have access to the outdoors or more than 3’ of living space.
Humans are the only animals that drink milk beyond infancy.
Egg laying battery hens spend their entire lives in a space smaller than a sheet of notebook paper


There is not much else to say other than, I feel sorry for people that have been left behind.
The old ways of living with your heart chakra totally closed are dead and gone ! And celebrating death is over.!!!!!!
