Stop subside meat industry to save billion dollars in budget

Target:
Stop global warming
Sponsored by: 

Dear Friends,

The Meat industry is the # 1 cause of global warming (more than all transportation combined per UN Report "Livestock's Long Shadow"and it is costing taxpayers billions of dollars each year to subsidize this industry.  The Obama administration is giving us a chance to voice our opposition to this policy.  Please go to www.whitehouse.gov/contact, and tell President Obama to stop allowing subsidies to go to the meat industry and instead to give this money to beneficial causes that help the public and protect our environment.  Thank you for taking action on this important issue. 
 
Sincerely,
Benny

Please save our Planet. Put down the poisonous meat diet! Have you got a pet? Could you kill a cat or a dog? How can still anyone think that killing is possible? It is not: If we continue to do so, our whole world will truly perish. There are just a few more years left. Please use the time and be a Vegan. If you do so, heaven will bless you as a compassionate world-saver. Otherwise you keep eating dead bodies, support killing, destroy the planet and the future of our children. Be intelligent. Be loving and compassionate. Think before you eat! DO NOT EAT MEAT ANYMORE, brothers and sisters, earth-inhabitants! For more urgent details please visit f.i. www.suprememastertv.com/sos Fabrizio from Berlin.

If we are serious about improving this nation's health, reduciing the deficit and taking a positive step towards reducing global warming, we need to end subsidies (direct and indirect) to the meat industry. Let people pay the true costs and America will be better off for it.

Here is a little known fact, one that many websites and even Al Gore (An Inconvenient Truth) didn’t talk about. A meat based diet contributes to 40% more greenhouse gases than the pollution generated by ALL the traffic in the entire world put together! All the cars, buses, trains, planes and ships of the planet don’t pollute as much as the meat industry. They actually pollute 40% less!! There are billions of animals being slaughtered every year. In the US alone, the number of animals being “processed” every year is more than 6 times the human population on the planet. We need to understand that these animals need food to eat and water to drink. They also excrete. The colossal amount of food and water that is pumped into this industry is enough to feed more than 50 times the current human population. In fact, if just 10% of the US population went vegetarian, there would be enough food for 800 million people and the entire world’s hunger problem would be solved! If you ate a plant based diet, you would save so much water, that you could leave your shower on, 24 hours a day and 365 days a year and still save more water for the planet compared to a person having meat. A plant based diet is now accepted to be vastly superior for the human body than a meat based diet. The tremendous amount of resources needed to create meat translates therefore into billions of tons of greenhouse gases being released into the atmosphere… Finally while you are combating global warming, by choosing to eat green, you also stand up for the meekest and smallest amongst us. Those helpless animals with no voice and no choice at all… So at every meal, each person can make a greener, healthier, more humane choice: Eating vegetarian food! The above choices when exercised by more and more people on the planet will ensure more than anything else, the arrest and reversal of the very severe threat of Global Warming, and the Global Water Challenge.

This is a worthy cause, please get your friends and family to sign! Another worthy cause :- The Venus Project is an Organisation that proposes a feasable plan of action for social change; one that works towards a peacful and sustainable global civilization. It outlines to strive toward where human rights are not only paper proclaimations but also a way of life. A world whe Mother Nature and Technology work together, not as two opposing forces. Where Resources and Science are choices over Profit and Power. Please look up the website http://www.thevenusproject.com/ and sign the petition. http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/The-future-that-Humanity-Deserves
