for PEACE

Gandhi, Albert Schweitzer, and Einstein refused to eat animals, precisely in order to avoid the violence associated with meat production.  There is evidence that the resource depletion from the consumption of animal products contributes to human on human violence.

 for JUSTICE

Instead of going to local communities of malnourished people, basic grains around the world are used in factory farms. The animal products produced are mostly consumed by the people of the developed “First” World rather than by the starving masses. We could help end world hunger by not eating factory-farmed animal products and redistributing our wealth and resources to the poorer people of the world.

 for ECOLOGY

Factory farms use more than half of all the water used in the U.S. and their intensive production of animals for meat requires about 25 times as much land and at least 14 times as much water as the same amount of food from vegetable sources. They are responsible for greenhouse gas emissions as well as runoff pollution. Cutting down or eliminating factory-famed meat consumption is one of the most effective ways to reduce one’s personal carbon footprint.
