Go Meat Free the March!

Kelly East, Melbourne Beach, FL-

Is it March already?? This year sure is marching by, pun fully intended. So for those of you that have not done so hot with those New Year’s Resolutions (myself shamelessly included), why not redeem yourself with “No Meat March” and give veganism a try? Here at Space Coast Animal Rights, we can easily offer you the tools to do so. Before we hop into that, I’d just like to touch on a sampling of the many reasons to give veganism a try.

What the health?? In addition to being a hero for helpless animals, you can be a hero to yourself! Did you know that eliminating animal products from your diet offers a significant protective effect from heart disease and many types of cancer? Check out the research yourself.

Switching to a plant-based diet can also lower your blood pressure and reduce your risk of developing diabetes. Study after study has concluded that people who have ditched animal products live longer and healthier lives. Sounds like a win-win, am I right? Even vegetarians reap the benefits, so if you are a baby-step type of person, every step toward eliminating meat and animal products is beneficial. Taking into consideration that the number one killer in this country is heart disease, if everyone in America cut out animal products, we would be a much healthier nation and those pesky insurance bills would be sure to drop.

Another factor that many people do not consider is environmental health Animal agriculture is responsible for 18% of greenhouse gas emissions, which is more than the combined exhaust from all transportation on the planet. Not to mention the resources (water, grains, land, etc.) involved to keep farmed animals alive until they are brutally slaughtered.

Not only do we have to use those resources for the animals on farms, but also to grow grain to feed them. It boggles my mind that 21,000 people die every day of hunger. One person every 4 seconds. In what world is it ethical for cows and pigs to be well fed so we can eat them but children go hungry? Meat eating societies are the leading cause of world hunger. You can grow more food with less resources if we would just grow plants! Learn More.

Now with that is out of the way, let’s consider our furred and feathered brethren. Everyone is born vegan. Eating meat is a learned behavior. It is shoved down our throats from an early age. Nearly every commercial on television tries to convince you to eat animal products, at a detrimental effect on human health, environmental sustainability, and many unnecessary deaths. Lots of us have pets and would agree that the dog and cat meat trade that thrive overseas are unethical. If we were to treat dogs and cats the way animals on factory farms are treated we would go to jail! Why the difference? I implore you to read up on the definition of “speciesism” and visit Youtube to watch, “Gary Yourofsky’s Best Speech Ever”.

It is never too late to go vegan! So many lives can be spared. I am including a handy guide to help you become vegan in only 30 weeks. Take it one day at a time. If you falter one day, just do better the next one. Ask any vegan if they have any regrets about going vegan and you’ll be met with the same answer: “I wish I would have done it sooner!”

To learn more about the benefits of going vegan, please tune into the following documentaries. Earthlings, Cowspiracy, and Forks Over Knives
