My #1 motivation for being vegan is health. However, through all of my research I have come across some astounding statistics that I just have to share. For instance, if we continue to consume seafood at the rate we are now, there will be zero sea life by 2048. Seriously?? None, nada?? Well, they say jellyfish will survive. We aren't talking about our grandchildren's lifetime, it's OURS! I was floored by that. The second most amazing tidbit for me was if every American cut out meat for two dinners a week there would be enough grain, corn, and soy to feed the entire world! (As so very much is poured into feeding massive quantities of chicken, cattle, and pig in order to keep up with demand) Some 800 million people are hungry or malnourished on this planet.
Here is a cool site that is working on recruiting people and businesses to go without meat on Mondays.
