"Don’t humans have to eat meat to stay healthy?"
Both the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the American Dietetic Association have endorsed vegetarian diets. Studies have also shown that vegetarians have stronger immune systems than meat-eaters and that meat-eaters are almost twice as likely to die of heart disease, 60 percent more likely to die of cancer, and 30 percent more likely to die of other diseases. The consumption of meat and dairy products has been conclusively linked with diabetes, arthritis, osteoporosis, clogged arteries, obesity, asthma and impotence.
Lifestyle is personal choice, but being educated and forgoing the ignorance that surrounds the foods we eat, how it effects our health and the way we treat animals is something everyone owes themselves and the beings around them.
Few People WANT to know how the food they eat, the clothing they wear, or the personal care products they use were obtained. The truth is ugly. Repulsive. Debilitating. It often requires that people honour their souls and then change certain behaviours. This isn't as easy for some as it is for others. It's sometimes easier to just not know. Enlightenment can be as painful as awakening.
These pages show some of the facts about animal welfare and tries to alay the myths and fears that the words Vegan and Vegetarian seem to bring.
Not only can you feel healthier having an 'animal free' diet but you can feel more content in yourself because your lifestyle does not exploit animals either.
