I became a vegetarian 22 years ago, when it first became clear to me how in-humane animal production for meat is, and also how unnecessary. Now as the mother of 2 healthy, intelligent, life-long vegetarian girls and being married to a fit vegetarian man, I can really appreciate the healthier life-style that our diet has afforded us, which makes the cruelty involved in meat production seem even sadder.
To quote Peta (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) : “Studies have shown that vegetarians have stronger immune systems than meat-eaters and that meat-eaters are far more likely to die of heart disease and 40 per cent more likely to die of cancer. Meat and dairy consumption is also linked with diabetes, arthritis, osteoporosis, clogged arteries, obesity, asthma and impotence. A 21-year-long study comparing meat-eaters and vegetarians showed that the greater the meat consumption, the greater the death rate from all causes combined.”
My blog is aimed at those of you who would like to find out more about vegetarianism. It will contain links to all those sites that I have found useful in the past, plus a lot of personal information about how we, as a family, have coped.
