Vegetarians Forever!


Wishing the whole world celebrates 'V' day every day. Not the mushy shiv-sena attracting variety, but one marked by the crisp crunching sound of fresh veggies. A 'Vegetarian' day i propose every day.

Why should others bother to go vegetarian?
1. You further humanity. For all those who disagree, the production of non-veg food consumes 30 times more resources than equivalent vegetarian food.
2. You protect animalkind. If you disagree go watch 'Meet your Meat' on goveg.com. No living creature, except a few people i unfortunately know, deserve that kind of treatment.
3. You save the Earth. The pollution from the non-veg-food-industry rivals that of all automobile and industrial pollution combined.
4. You live longer. Colon cancer, obesity, heart disease all are , on an a verage, 20 times more likely to afflict a non-vegetarian than a vegetarian
5. You help a fellow human being (aka me). Who do you think pays taxes for all that subsidized chicken - other vegetarians of course!

Just to build the awareness, want everyone to know tht each year 15,000,000,000 land animals are salughtered for food & an unknown but much larger number of sea creatures(including 1000's of dolphins caught accidently)...n whn it comes to ur health,farmed animals contain 50% of saturated fats in their bodies which being a non vegetarian u wld be consuming!!...so ppl...GO VEG n stay healthy!!!!!

Rightly pointed by Tanuja...non vegetarians stand as much as up to 30 times the risk vegetarians have of colon cancer, and equally high risk for coronary disease
