Top 3 Reasons to go Vegetarian (from VT):
1.) For the Animals. With every piece of meat, not including fish, you opt out of a ystem slaughtering 10 billion land animals for food every year in America.
2.) For the Environment. The livestock sector generates more than 18% of the worlds greenhouse gas emissions. Factory farms are also major contributors to land erosion and water pollution.
3.) For Your Health. Vegetarians have lower risks of colon and bowel cancers, and some studies suggest it may reduce instances of Alzheimer's disease. Not to mention the feeling it gives you to not be so weighed down by the fattiness of meats.
