10 REASONS TO BE A VEGETARIAN
Okay, so you love meat, but now that you've spent at least a month staying away from it, maybe you're ready to give it up for good. Here are ten good reasons to quit meat forever:
- Lowers the risk of heart disease.
- Lowers the risk of diabetes.
- Lowers the risk of some types of cancer.
- Lowers the risk of osteoporosis especially in women.
- Increases your awareness of the suffering of other living things.
- Saves the environment by conserving water and distributing grain to the hungry instead of feeding livestock.
- Keeps you freer of disease. Every year twenty thousand people die of E.coli bacteria poisoning mostly found in meat.
- Saves money both in the supermarket and on health care.
- Increases energy and endurance: A vegetarian diet improves your stamina, concentration, and sense of well being.
- Helps to keep the weight off. On average, dieters who followed a vegetarian diet kept their weight off seven years longer than those that ate meat.
Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet. -Albert Einstein (physicist, Nobel 1921)
