101 Reasons To Be Vegetarian

"Because one species is cleverer than another, does it give it the right to imprison or torture the
less clever species? Does one exceptionally clever individual have a right to exploit the less clever
individuals of his own species? To say that he does is to say with the Fascists that the strong
have a right to abuse and exploit the weak - might is right, and the strong and ruthless shall
inherit the earth."

1.
- more than half percent or more of global

greenhouse-gas emissions are caused by animal agriculture.
2.
- More than half of the potable water used in

the world today goes to animal agriculture. (Potable Water wastage)
3.
- Farmed animals produce 130 times more

excrement than the human population, the run-off from their waste is fouling the
waterways, it also emits gasses, such as hydrogen sulfide and ammonia, which poison
the air around farms, as well as methane and nitrous oxide, which are major
contributors to global warming, chemical and animal waste runoff from factory farms is
responsible for more than few hundred thousand Kilometers of polluted rivers and
streams.
Page 4
4.
- Forests are being cleaned up to make more room for factory farms
and crops to feed farmed animals, and this destruction causes soil erosion and
contributes to species extinction and habitat loss. Tropical forests in many countries are
destroyed daily, in part, to create more acreage to raise livestock.
5.
- Raising animals for food also requires massive amounts of food and
raw materials: Farmed animals consume 70 percent of the corn, wheat, and other grains
that we grow, (It takes up to 16 pounds of soybeans and grains to produce 1 lb. of beef
and 3 to 6 lbs. to produce 1 lb of turkey & egg. By eating grain foods directly)
6.
- It takes approx... 78 calories of fossil fuel to produce 1 calorie of

beef protein; 35 calories for 1 calorie of pork; 22 calories for 1 of poultry; but just 1
calorie of fossil fuel for 1 calorie of soybeans. By eating plant foods instead of animal
foods, we can help conserve our non-renewable sources of energy.
7.
- Efficient use of grains Soil conservation. When grains &

legumes are used more efficiently, our precious topsoil is automatically made more
efficient in its use. We use less agricultural resources to provide for the same number of
people. Runoff from farmlands is one of the greatest threats to water quality today.
Agricultural activities that cause pollution include confined animal facilities, plowing,
pesticide spraying, irrigation, fertilizing and harvesting.
8.
- Decaying animal parts, whether in a freezer case or served in

restaurants, can never be as aesthetically pleasing to the senses as the same foods
made from wholesome vegetable sources. Only habit can allow one not to perceive this:
a change in diet makes this self-evident.
9.
No eating meat is best way to protect animals from cruelty;

Animals are not ours to use for food, clothing, entertainment, experimentation, or any
other reason. By switching to a plant-base diet, human societies will be able to alleviate
the needless suffering and deaths of countless animals
Page 5
10.
- be it farm animals, companion animals, marine or wild

life animals - is one of the foremost reasons why many people around the world choose
to eat a vegetarian diet, or vegan diet. As people who care about the animals of the
earth, we believe that, like human animals, they have rights and deserve to have their
best interests taken into consideration, regardless of whether they are useful to
humans.
- Vegetarians are at lower risk for developing:
11.
Heart disease
Colorectal, ovarian, and breast cancers
Diabetes
Obesity
Hypertension (high blood pressure)
This is because a healthy vegetarian diet is typically low in fat and high in fiber.
However, even a vegetarian diet can be high in fat if it includes excessive amounts
of fatty snack foods, fried foods, whole milk dairy products, and eggs. Therefore, a
vegetarian diet, like any healthy diet, must be well planned in order to help prevent
and treat certain diseases.
12.
- food-borne illnesses of all kinds
account for 75+ million illnesses a year, resulting in three hundred thousand
hospitalizations and more than five thousand deaths in the world. Foods rich in
protein such as meat, poultry, fish and seafood are frequently involved in foodborne illness outbreaks.
13.
. Many foods contain nutrients
beneficial to peri-menopausal and menopausal women. Certain foods are rich in
phytoestrogens, the plant-based chemical compounds that mimic the behavior of
estrogen. Since phytoestrogens can increase and decrease estrogen and
progesterone levels, maintaining a balance of them in your diet helps ensure a more
comfortable passage through menopause. Soy is by far the most abundant natural
source of phytoestrogens, but these compounds also can be found in hundreds of
other foods such as apples, beets, cherries, dates, garlic, olives, plums, raspberries,
squash and yams. Because menopause is also associated with weight gain and a
slowed metabolism, a low-fat, high-fiber vegetarian diet can help ward off extra
pounds.
Page 6
Vegetarians tend to be thinner than meat-eaters, the
14.
cholesterol and saturated animal fat found in meat, eggs, and dairy products don't
just clog the arteries to your heart. Over time, they impede blood flow to other vital
organs as well.)
15.
- Vegetarians are more energized than meat-eaters. Good nutrition
generates more usable energyenergy to keep pace with the kids, tackle that home
improvement project or have better relation more often.
Meat food could
16.
contaminate with campylobacter, a dangerous bacterium that causes 2.4 million

cases of food poisoning each year, resulting in diarrhea, cramping, abdominal pain,
and fever.
- It's disgusting but true: Meat is often contaminated with feces,
17.
blood, and other bodily fluidsall of which make animal products the top source of
food poisoning in the world.
- Carnivores muscles are reduced in shape to allow wide mouth
18.
gape Herbivores have Well-developed and Humans also have Well-developed facial
muscles.
19.
- Carnivores jaw angle not expanded, Herbivores have expanded jaw
angle and Humans also have expanded Jaw angle as well.
20.
- Carnivores have jaw join location on same plane as
molar teeth, Herbivores have above the plane of the molars and Humans also have
above the plane of the molars so humans are herbivores.
21.
- Carnivores have Shearing jaw motion and minimal side-to-side
motion, Herbivores do not shear motion but good side-to-side, front-to-back and
Humans also have No shear but good side-to-side, front-to-back jaw motion.
Page 7
- Carnivores have Temporalis. Herbivores have Masseter
22.
and ptergoids, Humans also have Masseter and pterygoids.

23.
- Carnivores have large mouth opening,
Herbivores have small and Humans also have Small mouth opening.
24.
- Carnivores have short and pointed teeth, Herbivores have
broad, flattened and spade-shaped same as Humans.
25.
- Carnivores have Long, sharp, and curved, Herbivores have dull
and short or long (for defense), or none and Humans have Short and blunted teeth.
26.
- Carnivores have Sharp, jagged and blade-shaped. Herbivores
have Flattened with cusps vs. complex surface and Humans have Flattened with
nodular cusps
27.
Carnivores have none; swallows food whole, Herbivores have Extensive
chewing necessary and Humans have extensive chewing.
28.
Carnivores have no digestive enzymes, Herbivores have Carbohydrate
digesting enzymes and Humans have Carbohydrate digesting enzymes.
29.
Carnivores have pH 1,
Herbivores have pH 4-5 and Humans have pH 4-5.
- Carnivores have 3-6 times body length,
30.
Herbivores have 10-12+ times body length, Humans have 10-11 times body length.
31.
Carnivores have simple, short, and smooth, Herbivores have long,
complex; may be sacculated and Humans have long, sacculated colon.
32.
Carnivores liver can detoxify vitamin A, Herbivores liver cannot detoxify
vitamin A Humans liver cannot detoxify vitamin A.
33.
- Carnivores have extremely concentrated urine, Herbivores have
moderately concentrated urine and Humans have also moderately concentrated
urine only.
34.
Carnivores have sharp claws, Herbivores have flattened nails or blunt
hooves and Humans have flattened nails. So Humans are herbivores.

There is no nutrient necessary for optimal human functioning
35.
which cannot be obtained from plant food.

36.
. Animal foods are higher in fat than most plant
foods, particularly saturated fats. Plants do not contain cholesterol.
37.
. Meat is deficient in carbohydrates, particularly the starches
which are so essential to proper health.
38.
. Except for the b-complex, meat is largely deficient in
vitamins.
. Being higher on the food chain, animal foods
39.
contain far higher concentrations of agricultural chemicals than plant foods,

including pesticides, herbicides, etc.
40.
. There are over 20,000 different drugs,
including sterols, antibiotics, growth hormones and other veterinary drugs that are
given to livestock animals. These drugs are consumed when animal foods are
consumed. The dangers herein, in secondary consumption of antibiotics, are well
documented.
41.
. There are a host of bacteria and viruses,
some quite dangerous, that are common to animals. When I eat meat, I eat the
organisms in the meat. Micro-organisms are present in plant foods too, but their
number and danger to human health is by no means comparable to that of those in
meat.
.
42.
Plant foods last longer than animal foods. Try this
43.
experiment: Leave out a head of lettuce and a pound of hamburger for 1 day, which
will make you sick?
Plant foods give tell-
44.
tale signs of "going bad". Ever hear of someone getting sick from "bad broccoli"?
Page 9
. Meat eating increases the risk of heart disease, this country's #1
45.
killer. The correlation is an epidemiological fact.

Of all the natural cancer prevention substances found:
46.
vitamin C, B-17, hydroquionenes, beta carotene, NDGA, - none has been found to be
animal derived. Yet most meats, when cooked, produce an array of benzenes and
other carcinogenic compounds. Cancer is infinitely easier to prevent than cure.
Soybeans contain protease inhibitor, a powerful anticancer compound. You won't
find it in useful quantities in animal based food.
The correlation between meat consumption and a wide
47.
range of degenerative diseases is well founded and includes.....

Osteoporosis
Kidney Stones and Gallstones
Diabetes
Multiple Sclerosis
Arthritis
Gum disease
Acne. (Aggravated by animal food)
48.
. Studies confirm that vegetarians tend to be thinner than meat eaters.

Obesity is considered by doctors to be a disease within itself.
. The condition of the intestinal flora is critical to overall
49.
health. Animal products putrefy the colon.
. Wholesome food travels quickly through the "G.I" tract, leaving
50.
little time to spoil and incite disease within the body.

. Fiber absorbs unwanted, excess fats; cleans the intestines;
51.
provides bulk and aids in peristalsis. Plant food is high in fiber content; meat, poultry
and dairy products have none.
Page 10
. Food from animals contain their waste, including adrenaline, uric
52.
and lactic acid, etc., Before adding ketchup, the biggest contributors to the "flavor
profile" of a hamburger are the leftover blood and urine.
. The average American eats 400% of the RDA for protein. This
53.
causes excess nitrogen in the blood that creates a host of long-term health
problems.
54.
Any meat stinks. How can you eat something that
stinks so badly? And I really think animal meat and animal products stinks because
animals are fed the wrong food and injected with unnecessary chemicals. Back when
I was in my country I don't remember any meat that stinks so badly and I refuse to
eat any meat now. I don't touch it and I don't eat it and I will stay like that for life. I
am extremely happy with my decision to become vegetarian or even vegan in the
future. I hope everyone comes to same decision - trust me you will have a happy life
and a healthy life and a perfect life. God bless you and thank you for the opportunity
to give my opinion. My name is Amine.
. I know what I'm doing is right. I feel good inside about my
55.
decision to remain "meatless".

56.
. To increase ones risk of getting degenerative disease means

decreasing ones chance to live a naturally long healthy life. Huzas and other peoples
with large centenarian populations maintain lifestyles that are relatively meat free.
57.
You will just feel better and more caring after giving up" meat
and becoming vegetarian.
- A vegetarian diet is great for your health!
While most people are less familiar
59.
with pigs, chickens, fish, and cows than they are with dogs and cats, animals used for
Page 11
food are every bit as intelligent and able to suffer as the animals who share our
homes are. Pigs can learn to play video games, and chickens are so smart that their
intelligence has been compared by scientists to that of monkeys.
Want some proof of longevity? Residents of Okinawa, Japan, have
60.
the longest life expectancy of any Japanese and likely the longest life expectancy of
anyone in the world, according to a 30-year study of more than 600 Okinawan
centenarians. Their secret: a low-calorie diet of unrefined complex carbohydrates,
fiber-rich fruits and vegetables, and soy.
. When there isnt enough calcium in the bloodstream, our
bodies will leach it from existing bone. The metabolic result is that our skeletons will
become porous and lose strength over time. Most health care practitioners
recommend that we increase our intake of calcium the way nature intended
through foods. Foods also supply other nutrients such as phosphorus, magnesium
and vitamin D that are necessary for the body to absorb and use calcium.
Meat accounts for more food spending. Eating vegetables, grains
and fruits in place of the 200 pounds of beef, chicken and fish each non vegetarian
eats annually would cut individual food bills by a good amount every year.
you're worried that if you go vegan, you'll
63.
have to give up hamburgers, chicken sandwiches, and ice cream? You won't.
Companies are coming out with more and more delicious meat and dairy product
alternatives that taste like the real thing but are much healthier and don't hurt any
animals. Plus, we have a list of some of our favorite products and thousands of tasty
kitchen-tested recipes to help you get started!
Page 12
vegetarian diet means that eating no animal flesh of any kind, not
even chicken or fish. A vegan is even stricter than a vegetarian.
- avoid the use of all animal products, including eggs, cheese, leather, and
anything made of or produced from animals.
as listed above and many more
need to a take balance diet, people around the
world living healthy on vegetarian diet,
- The key to any healthy diet is to choose a wide
variety of foods, and to consume enough calories to meet your energy needs. It is important for
vegetarians to pay attention to these five categories in particular.
-
No, we haven't, early humans, like modern humans, could
have simply acted outside of instinct, and made interesting dietary choices contrary to their
anatomy. We really have to look at our digestive system to get the best evidence for what we're
optimized for eating, not what some humans chose to eat.
- Does the sight of a dead animal make you salivate, do you daydream about
killing cows with your bare hands and eating them raw, if you answered "no" to all of these questions,
congratulations--you're a normal human herbivore
