Protect Animals, the Environment, and Your Health - Pledge to be Veg!
Sponsored by: PETA
With every passing day, your life and the lives of others are affected by your food choices. Eating your veggies is good for your health, good for the environment, and, of course, good for animals! Take a look at the facts behind our food habits:
Please make a difference today by pledging to be vegetarian for one month. And if you're already vegetarian, you can help by asking your friends and family to sign the pledge to be veg!
- Animals in factory farms have little, or no, legal protection from cruelty. This same cruelty would be illegal if it were inflicted on dogs or cats. Yet farmed animals are just as intelligent and capable of feeling pain as the animals we cherish as companions.
- Eating animal-based foods impairs the hearts ability to do its job. A major study in 2005 reconfirmed that those who ate the most meat were also at the greatest risk for heart disease.
- Raising animals for food damages the environment more than nearly anything else we do. Environmental organizations agree: eating meat wastes natural resources, pollutes the water, destroys topsoil, and contaminates the air for everyone.
Please make a difference today by pledging to be vegetarian for one month. And if you're already vegetarian, you can help by asking your friends and family to sign the pledge to be veg!

I'm already a vegetarian... You know, after reading about how meat-centered diets affect animals, the earth, world hunger/political issues, and worker rights... Go vegetarianism!

been vegeterian for over 16years now & can honestly say that not a single day passes without me being grateful for that! and some food for thought - apparently every vegetarian saves the lives of 100 animals every year...

It does not make sense to allow other living beings go through unthinkable torture just for our pleasure of tasting meat. Even if you can't be veg all the time, any reduction in meat comsumption is good: for you, for the animals, and for our planet!!
