Do you aspire to save the world? Concerned about the environment? Is Al Gore on your Friend's list? Know about global warming? If yes, then, I assume you're also a vegetarian.

That's because vegetarian is the "new Prius."

A report by the UN stated that "the livestock sector emerges as one of the top two or three most significant contributors to the most serious environmental problems." Apparently all that feeding, raising and slaughtering of cattle and chicken contributes huge amounts of emissions to the global warming problem. In addition, all the poo produced by those animals has to go somewhere...and sometimes that somewhere is right into our river/lake/stream ecosystems.

Maybe I'm preaching to the choir here, but, if not, it's another great reason to go vegg!

I agree 100% . Eating meat is a waste of time. SO much healthier food out there for people now. There is no reason to kill millions of animals except that it is a multi billion dollar market. Sad all for the sake of profit ,somewhat like the war.
