CHEW ON THIS: SOME REASONS TO GO VEGETARIAN
1. Because heart disease begins in childhood. Meat has no fiber but is laden with fat and cholesterol, which is why the late Dr. Benjamin Spock, in the final edition of his book Baby & Child Care, recommended against feeding children any kind of meat.
2. Because a vegan diet reverses heart disease. On the American Heart Association (AHA) diet, which includes meat, patients’ arteries continue to clog, while Dr. Dean Ornish’s vegan diet unclogs arteries. In one study, AHA dieters experienced a 28 percent average worsening of clogged arteries, while dieters on Ornish’s program experienced an 8 percent improvement in their arteries.
3. Because eating meat and dairy products makes you fat. As a nation, we’re getting fatter, and the Atkins diet has only made matters worse because it only works in the short term. Only 2 percent of pure vegetarians are obese, which is about one-ninth the figure for meat-eating Americans.
4. Because you shouldn’t have to lie to your kids about the food you eat. Children would be horrified to learn about the cruelty and violence involved in turning chickens, pigs, and other animals into nuggets and other “foods.”
5. Because in every package of chicken, there’s a little poop. A USDA study found that 98 percent of broiler chicken carcasses had detectable levels of E. coli, indicating fecal contamination.
6. Because meat is filthy and bloody. There are more than 50 million cases of meat-related foodborne illness every year in the United States, thousands of which lead to death. Animals accumulate dangerous chemicals in their flesh and fat (which meat-eaters consume), including dioxins, antibiotics, pesticides, herbicides, and even the most toxic form of arsenic.
7.Because it isn’t fair. Killing other animals is an act of exploitation and violence, and we do it only because we have the power to.
8. Because no living creature wants to see her family slaughtered. Cows love their calves, sows love their piglets, and chickens love their chicks. Farmed animals love their families and mourn their loss.
9. Because eating meat and dairy products causes impotence. Going vegetarian is a natural alternative to Viagra because before meat’s artery-clogging action gives you a heart attack, it affects other vital organs. In one study, one-fourth of those in “the oldest age group” of men aged 40 to 79 reported frequent occurrence of erectile dysfunction, while in another study, half of men over 40 reported that they experienced erectile dysfunction at least some of the time.
11. Because mad cow disease is in the U.S. Any animal with a brain could contract a version of mad cow disease, yet millions of pigs and chickens are still being fed the remains of diseased animals—in violation of World Health Organization recommendations and the laws of Japan and Europe.
12. Because it’s violence that you can stop. We may feel powerless to stop war or other forms of violence, but we can choose not to support slaughterhouses by rejecting flesh foods.
16. Because the grain used to feed animals could be used to feed hungry people. Eighty percent of U.S. agricultural land is used to raise chickens, pigs, and other farmed animals; eventy percent of grains are used to feed them. If the massive quantities of grain, soy, and corn now fed to factory-farmed animals were freed up, there would be plenty of food for the world’s starving people.
17. Because more than half of all water used in the U.S. is used to raise animals for food. A totally vegetarian diet requires 300 gallons of water per day, while a meat-eating diet requires more than 4,000 gallons of water per day. Time magazine reports, “Around the world, as more water is diverted to raising [cattle], pigs, and chickens, instead of producing crops for direct consumption, millions of wells are going dry.”
