Eating meat, dairy and eggs threatens our planet.
You use much less land and water if you eat crops directly. Animals use most of the protein they eat to live, not ‘grow’ meat. So eating meat adds to water shortages, forest clearing, soil damage, use of oil-based pesticides - and climate change.
“By 2050 the world’s livestock will be consuming as much as 4 billion people do… when many were doubting whether such human numbers could be fed at all.”
November 1st is World Vegan Day. Vegans everywhere will be celebrating from Sat 27 Oct to Sun 4 Nov 2007 - see our WVD Events Page. Livestock produce more greenhouse gases than transport! Are you Eating the Earth?

real vegiterian? depends on our definition ? the common one that is understood today leaves nothing to eat. man was born from food it is said but this clarity of which food ? is not available so clearly. think about this everything is evryother things food.
what we are trying to say s we have to redifine eating.
A thought-provoking post. I agree, we need to go back to pure-veg in the interest of the planet. If we truly will it, we can. Warmly, Krish
Nobody here seems to have shown the awareness of evolution. Yes, when we were in the forests and living the life of animals, when the brain was not developed as of to-day, when we did not know the storage of food for the next meal and when the art of replicating the fruits and cereals by the art that came to be known as agriculture and much later when the complete anatomy underwent a change from that of the animals when the culinary art got invented for savouring with tasty pallates with the aid of fire what man did in eating the caracass of animals was justified. Some million years back when we shed our tail and much later when we came down from the tree we cooked food and stored them in vessels causing our pancreas to serete periodically in hours than on days and weeks and when the curved claws became straight with the guts getting much smaller, man was on the thresh-hold of civilization. Now you wish to back to the roots that is your hereditary problem.
Vegetarianism may be a personal ,conscious, choice or just a habit that comes of being born to a family of vegetarians. One has always felt, though, that Nature intended a mixture of both vegetarians and non-vegetarians in its scheme of things. Remember Darwin’’s finches?
Some will never understand the importance of being Veg.So, don”t mind you have done your job and leave rest to the mankind to decide the fate of the World.People in the West have switched over to Veg.
This debate about veg and non veg is un ending. There are advantages in both. It is a known fact that animals breed faster than humans. And if there is no balance, then very soon we will have animals outnumbering the humans.
always count me with u.
hey i have been a veggie since i was in class 7th……..nice informative post.makes me feel proud to be a hardcore veggie..
good .. i perfer to be veggie
informative…dear ….thanx.
I do not agree with pure vegans. at the same time I do not agree to the idea of feeding live stock with grains too. live stock should be reared on grass. there is a place for small quantities of mil, meat and fish in human diet. but only in small quantities. in fact cows do not do well on diet of grains. food grains in the bowels of live stock changes the natural bacterial content there and that is not goo for us too. but pure vegetarianism is not good either
i guess, any choice a human being makes for himself is okay with me, however i really admire the vegitarian by choice over a vegitarian by birht, atleast the guys by choice have made a choice of thier own and not just because you happened to be born in a home which was veggie……
Let me understand are we saying that we dont even drink milk and get the whole of the cows out so that we can have better afforestation and also have no water storage..
Hey guys.. i know this is not in context however, have any of you seen a movie called “ALIVE” this movie shows cannibalism from normal human beings who are trapped in a moutain after their plane crashes… and they eat the dead to surive.. just normal people, possibly people like you and me…. it might change your perspective of life… watch the movie if you can or star movies are likely to play one of these days…
well true and thanks! however i agree with Prashanth as well as Vivek. Specially when we think of the food people in colder countries eat to survive the kind of weather conditions they live in.
thanx 4 sharing such a valuable info friend
Hi, What u r saying is right but, it is being veggie not possible for everyone. Especially in kerala is never possible. Working in office it is ok,but hard workers throughout whole day and 6 hours night it is must,otherwise body feels week. thank u for sending;.
a very important info…. I am almost a veggie now a days…!!!
good…..
VEGGIE FOR SURE BUT I THINK EACH INDIVIDUAL HAS THE RIGHT TO DECIDE WHAT TO EAT . I AM VEGGIE BECAUSE I DESPISE THE IDEA OF KILLING A LIVING CREATURE AND EAT IT [ISSUE IS ABSOLUTLY DEBATABLE ] I AM A CONVERTED VEGGIE SINCE LAST SIX YEARS AND I AM MORE THAN OK WITH IT .
gud info-i am always a veggie………….
informative post..im a veggie too
