November First
I received this in my Christian Vegetarian Association newsletter. Regardless of your opinion on veganism or vegetarianism, it makes beaucoup sense. November 1st. One day. Try it. Go vegan or vegetarian for one day. Before you do, check out recipes on some of the sites listed at the left or google "vegan recipes" and that should bring some up. The choices are so much better than they used to be! There are products that are competitively priced that you can sub in for your favorite stew, casserole, or dish. Just try it for one day and know that if you become vegetarian you will not only be saving animals but you will be making a global impact while helping yourself at the same time.
CVA member Jenny Moxham recently had the following editorial published in her local newspaper:
If you could improve your health, help alleviate world hunger, reduce animal abuse, reduce global warming and environmental damage and save hundreds of thousands of litres of water, simply by refraining from doing one simple thing ...would you?
Well, simply by refraining from buying animal products you can achieve all this.
Today, more and more people are realizing that choosing to be vegan is far more than a mere 'dietary choice'. It is about rescuing the planet from destruction and preventing human suffering as well as non-human suffering. It is about creating a sustainable future.
In third world countries, children starve next to fields of soya and grain destined for export as animal feed for Western nations. For every 10kg of plant protein fed to cattle, only one kg is converted into meat
The irony is that whilst the worlds poor are dying of poverty, millions of affluent Westerners are dying from heart attacks, strokes, diabetes and cancers, largely caused by eating animal products.
Water scarcity is reaching crisis point. According to the CSIRO, every kilogram of meat consumed requires up to 100,000 litres of water to produce. In contrast, rice, our thirstiest crop, requires only 1500 litres.
Nov.1st is World Vegan Day ... the perfect day to make the decision to try a more healthy, sustainable, and compassionate vegan lifestyle.
