- Consider this, giving up meat will rid your body of toxins {environmental pollutants, pesticides and preservatives} these toxins overload our system and are the main causes for some serious illnesses. If you have ever tried a formal detox program you will know that the first step is to replace meats and dairy products with vegetables, fruits and juices. Because vegetables and fruits contain phytochemicals which help our bodies to detox naturally.
- Imagine enjoying a delicious vegetarian meal and at the same time knowing that no being has suffered for it.
- By turning vegetarian you can look forward to lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol, reduced risk of heart disease, many types of cancers and are less likely to be overweight. Sounds good to me, perhaps you might not live much longer than a meat eater but you will certainly lower your disease risk factor.
- It is horribly inefficient to raise animals for food; it takes 7.2 kilograms of grain to produce 500 grams of edible meat. For every half kilo they eat, only a fraction of the calories become edible meat.
- Over fished oceans are resulting in threatened species, destruction of coral reefs and an overall ocean Eco-system imbalance.
- Vegetarianism helps fight an industry that raise animals in cramped spaces, artificially breeds them, separates them from their young and then trucks them away for a lovely ride to a slaughter house.
- Another result of the meat industry is the mass pollution it creates. A study done in 2006 by the United Nations found that this industry is a significant contributor to most of the serious environmental problems we face at every scale from local to global.
- There are many tasty vegetarian dishes to explore so why not expand your taste buds and discover less harmful ways to enjoy your meals
