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!

Last October i became Vegetarian, and i pledge to stay that way for life. Not only do i feel better about not contributing to a digusting corporate scam many people call "the meat industry"... but i look healthier and feel healthier. There is no reason to make beautiful living creatures suffer for our selfishness! If you want to eat meat, run through to woods and let me see you catch an animal with your bare teeth, then you will prove to me that meet eating is natural... until then Vegetarian all the way!!!

I am a life-long veggie and I am certainly thankful for the good health this has brought me. Also I look into lots of animals faces and I'm very glad that when they look back they don't see the reflections of dead relatives.

I was a vegetarian for 10 years until I was pregnant and my doctor told me I needed meat for protein. I'm ready to get back to a healthier lifestyle.
