natalie on Go vegetarian

"Growing meat (it’s hard to use the word “raising” when applied to animals in factory farms) uses so many resources that it’s a challenge to enumerate them all. But consider: an estimated 30 percent of the earth’s ice-free land is directly or indirectly involved in livestock production, according to the United Nation’s Food and Agriculture Organization, which also estimates that livestock production generates nearly a fifth of the world’s greenhouse gases — more than transportation."
- Gary Kazzanjian (New York Times)
Going vegetarian is one of the easiest things I have ever done (and I LOVE meat). It helps you eat healthier (pretty much eliminates eating fast food) and it is such a small step. I really hope to go vegan some day but I'm just trying to take it one step at a time.
