10 reasons why you should stop eating animals

1. Sentient creatures (humans, cows, sheep, pigs, chickens, fish, dolphins, monkeys, whales, rhinos, lions etc.) all feel pain. So by killing farm animals for meat, you are hurting them! A lot! And not just physical pain, they also feel emotional pain. 

2. The meat industry uses SO MUCH WATER! (raising animals for food is responsible for 55% US water consumption compared to 5% domestic US water consumption. This means that 1 hamburger = 2 months worth of showers!) Think about it. They need to water the plants that the animals eat, they need to give water to the animal to drink, they need to wash the animal, they need to wash the animals’ living spaces, and meat processing uses lots of water. It’s just not sustainable. If you just ate a plant based diet, you only need water to water the plants. AND WE HAVE A BIG WATER SHORTAGE PROBLEM ON THIS PLANET SO YES, THIS DOES AFFECT YOU.

3. Humans are born good. We are born with compassion. It’s human nature to be compassionate, and compassionate people do not murder animals unnecessarily. It just doesn’t make sense to pay someone to murder an innocent animal, wrap it in plastic and put it on a shelf in the supermarket. You would never do that yourself. Stop ignoring your conscience. 

4. Red meat has been proven to cause cancer!

5. A pig has the intelligence of a three year old human. I was talking when I was three and was eating pork only a few years later.

6. THERE ARE 1.5 BILLION COWS IN THE WORLD. (???!!!!)

7. Factory farming. If you don’t know what that is, look it up.

8. We are not omnivores (and we are definitely not carnivores). Yes, our ancestors killed animals and ate meat,but they also did a lot of other horrible things. We have developed enough as a species to be able to live extremely well and healthily WITHOUT murdering sentient beings to eat. Take away all of our weapons, and what do we have? Sharp teeth? No. Claws? No. It is not natural for us to be predators. If you disagree, I’d like to see you kill, skin and eat a cow raw with only your bare hands and small human teeth. 

9. What is the difference between a dog and a pig? Why would you eat a chicken and not a cat? A parrot and a chicken? A goldfish and a tuna fish? Aren’t they both animals of around the same size just living their lives peacefully and happily? All animals are the same. Treat them the same.

10. It’s so much healthier to stop eating meat! Without meat in your diet, you won’t have any gross animal hormones, fat and processed chemicals to make you sick. Plant foods are clean foods. 

Please please please make the transition to a vegetarian or a vegan. For the planet, for all humans, for the animals, and for you.

HAPPY WORLD VEGAN MONTH!

It has inarguably been the best decision I've ever made to choose a life devoid of meat and dairy as a part of my mission to protect and preserve planet Earth. The ever-growing interest in the plant-based lifestyle  is indicative that the movement is spreading; that we could hold on to a morsel of hope for an environmentally sustainable present and future through a conscientious and compassionate diet. 

November 1st marks the 70th anniversary of The Vegan Society as well as the terms 'vegan' and 'veganism'. So, in honor of World Vegan Month, I've been in the kitchen faithfully for the last two nights preparing all the love for this cheezy, herby, garlicky, vegan holiness: Roasted Garlic White Pizza w. Spinach-Roasemary crust, Vegan Ricotta Salata Cheese and Leeks.

Happy Sunday and Happy World Vegan Month.
