WHY YOU SHOULD BECOME A

VEGETARIAN
Would you like to live in a cage
where you couldnt fully extend your
arms or legs?
Is not being a vegetarian holding you
back from fully embracing your
religion?
Would you like to reduce your risk for
health diseases and cancer?
BECOME A VEGETARIAN!

DID YOU KNOW?

Every one in seven college students is a
vegetarian (Your Choice)
The U.S. could feed 800 million people with
grain that livestock eat- David Pimentel.
The U.S. makes enough animal protein every
year to provide every citizen with 75 grams of
protein a day, which is 19 grams more than the
recommended amount. (Vegetarian
Sourcebook)
Most people who eat meat detach the idea that
it was once alive from the meat itself

Animal Ethics
Male chicks are usually killed by being tossed into a giant
grinding machine alive.
Egg-laying hens spend their lives in a feces-filled cage
thats so small they cant spread their wings or even turn
around.
Chickens are paralyzed before getting their throats cut
and if they avoid the blade then they are killed alive in a
scalding hot water tank.
Fish are often grown in crowded enclosures and become
so stressed they will bit off fins, tails, and eyes of other
fish.
Pigs are killed by being electrocuted or shot in the head
with a metal rod. (Your Choice)

Environmental Factors
The production of animal protein requires eight
times more fossil-fuel energy than the
production of plant protein
Livestock are a main cause of soil erosion. We
lose 13 tons of acres per year where animals
are fed grains. 272 million acres are used for
pastures and 30 million acres are used to grow
the grains that the animals eat (Vegetarian
Sourcebook)
Producing just one hamburger destroys 55
square feet of rainforest.

Health Benefits
It is possible to receive all essential nutrients from
plant-based sources. ( Vegetarian Sourcebook)
Vegetarians are less likely to develop type 2
diabetes, they have lower cholesterol, blood
pressure, reduced body fat, and a reduced risk of
cancer.
Vegetarians tend to be conscious of all the foods
they eat, therefore they tend to obtain a healthy
weight.
Non- organic meat usually contains chemicals,
hormones, and antibiotics which arent good for us
humans to continually intake.

Be Healthy- Dead Prez

It's all love
I don't eat no meat, no dairy, no sweets
only ripe vegetables, fresh fruit and whole wheat
I'm from the old school, my household smell like
soul food, bro
curried falafel, barbecued tofu
no fish though, no candy bars, no cigarettes
only ganja and fresh-squeezed juice from oranges
exercising daily to stay healthy
and I rarely drink water out the tap, cause it's filthy
Lentil soup is mental fruit
and ginger root is good for the yout'
Fresh veg-e-table with the mayatl stew
sweet yam fries with the green calalloo
careful how you season and prepare your foods
cause you don't want to lose vitamins and minerules
and that's the jewel

life brings life, it's valuable, so I eat what comes

from the ground, it's natural
let your food be your medicine (uh huh)
no Excederin (uh uh)
strictly herb, generate in the sun, cause I got
melanin
and drink water, eight glasses a day
cause that's what they say
They say you are what you eat, so I strive to be
healthy
my goal in life is not to be rich or wealthy
cause true wealth comes from good health, and wise
ways
we got to start taking better care of ourselves
They say you are what you eat, so I strive to be
healthy
my goal in life is not to be rich or wealthy
cause true wealth comes from good health, and wise
ways
we got to start taking better care of ourselves, be
healthy y'all

Natalie Portman

Please think about everything I

have shared with you today before
you eat your next meal. The less
demand for meat means the less
they will produce. It will take one
person at a time but I believe we
can all become vegetarians at some
point. GO VEGGIES!
