Stop eating meat

I spent the last few months of 2007 living and working in China. In China meat seems to be the basic ingredient for almost every dish. My Chinese colleagues couldn't quite imagine a day without eating it. Eating carrot was as sinful as eating pork, Life was life.

Here are a few reasons why one shouldn't eat meat -
Health Reasons: vegetarians are less likely to get cancer by 25 to 50 percent.
Environmental Reasons: 70% of grain production is used to feed farm animals. The grains and soybeans fed to animals to produce the amount of meat consumed by the average American in one year could feed seven people for the same period.
Animal Rights Reasons: animals do feel pain. (check this youtube video)

We don’t need to eat animals! Most of us don’t eat animals because we must in order to survive. We eat them because we want to.
