Veganism , is not a 'diet.' It's a way of life.

Reasons to go vegan :

*Until we stop consuming animal products , billions of animals will continue to be abused , neglected and killed on dairy and slaughter farms. Eight BILLION animals are killed for food , every year - In the United States alone.

*It takes 2500 gallons of water to produce , one pound of meat , whereas it takes only 25 gallons of water to produce a gallon of wheat.

*Residues of antibiotics , hormones , pesticides , herbicides , heavy metal and other non-degrading toxins from the enviroment accumulate up the food chain , and into animal products.

*Studies by numerous renown heath organizations such as the American Dietic Association , have proven that vegans have a lower risk of heart disease , as well as breast cancer , colon cancer , diabeities , gallstones, hypertension , kidney stones , obesity , osteoporosis , and stroke.

"But for the sake of some little mouthful of flesh , we deprive a soul , of the sun and light, and of the porportion of life and time , it had been born into the world to enjoy." ~ Plutarch
