Have you ever noticed, that none of these disgraceful acts are done by women?

Is this the future for mankind?

Thank you Peta!!!

I don't eat meat since years and i'm happy with it. I just don't need it for my organism. There was a short time where i used to eat meat again but then i stopped because i had serious indigestions caused by meat. I prefer to eat fish in very small quantities. And for sure: my ancestors were islanders - used to eat either fish than meat.
I'm not a full vegeterian i know because i eat fish. But even this i prefer to eat self-catched fish.

I even don't like to imagine to eat chicken, i always have to think of the mass slaughterhouses in which these poor creatures end. It is just horrible to kill them in such masses. Media or people argument that the market needs it. False!! We, each single person can decide to see the naked truth and eat less meat or nothing more. Fact is that slaughterhouses are well hidden and almost secret spots where no one can see what it's happening inside.

There are some interesting documentaries about this on Google-video and YouTube! Check it if you like to learn more... Please do it for self-respect and respect of nature. Help to stop sensless markets and industries. You are and get what you're eating...

Thank you for your links Michael.

Free organisations like PETA, WWF or Greenpeace are contributing to the growth of more transparency and wisdom by revealing some very hidden-kept things by Governments, Systems and Societies. It's not about fighting against something, it's about the right to KNOW. Only knowledge can stop ignorance. My opinion is that eating meat today is surely not healthy because of the conditions in which animals are kept.

And it's a right for the next generations to know what's happening behind closed doors. Okay, everyone has the right to decide what to eat and in which quantities... but sicknesses increase as unhealthy food stays on the market and their producers are not controlled. I am for transparency on every level of life - so i want to KNOW what i eat, where it comes from and under which conditions it was produced.

Farmers today are suffering more because they are kept under pressure to produce more and more and fast and faster for mass societies. Here's where the chain begins.. and in the end people start to live their lives like the battery-hens they are eating, not even having the right connections to the land they're living on. Fact is: there's too much saturation everywhere, unbalance and injustice. Today the internet gives us the most democratic tool and we can use it to spread wisdom and real information that is not controlled by a totalitarian system of suppression and blind profit. Yes, we can change many things and reach a state of consciousness that reveals that everything is connected and every kind of life is sacred.

Wealth and health are rights to every creature on earth.

Very true. Slaughter houses are so terrible. I am a fully vegetarian myself. I drink organic soya milk.

Yes we can't change peoples attitudes – but our own we can! Starting with our own needs/necessities.

:arrow:

And that's the most important!

One thing to spread and share in this world is WISDOM and KNOWLEDGE. That includes all rights to free access to KNOWLEDGE for every single human. And NOT as it was and partly still is right now. There's actually a lot of unbalance and injustice here on earth.

I don't like the false messages that are spreaded by politicians, governors and nationalists. Some of them keep talking about a one, second and third world. But there's just ONE! Ancient cultures had in my eyes a much better conception and view of the world and a much better connection to it.

Thanks

I don't like to change anyone, but I like to give information that will help people with themselves and the world. If they want to use it or not that is okay.

MYTH #1
A vegetarian diet doesn't provide enough protein and calcium for optimal health.

REALITY
"You're vegetarian? Where do you get your protein?" That's the first question people usually ask me when I tell them I'm vegetarian.

Imagine their shock when I list a staggering assortment of delicious, whole-plant food sources of quality protein!

And then, imagine their amazement when I state that, in fact, most people don't need to worry about "getting enough", because North Americans typically consume too much protein each day. Can this be true? I kid you not!

A diet high in protein can actually contribute to osteoporosis, cancer, and kidney disease. And, how about this: not overloading your body with animal protein reduces the amount of calcium lost from your bones each day!

Great protein sources:

• black beans
• lentils
• broccoli
• spinach
• quinoa
• tofu and tempeh

Did you know?

It's the position of the American Dietetic Association and Dietitians of Canada that appropriately planned vegetarian diets are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. Well-planned vegan and other types of vegetarian diets are appropriate for all stages of the life cycle, including during pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, and adolescence.

Eating a traditional Western diet, the average person consumes about double the protein their body needs. Excess protein is linked to osteoporosis and kidney disease. Heart disease can be another risk factor since high-protein diets often encourage consumption of meat, eggs, and dairy products, which in turn are all high in cholesterol, fat, and saturated fat. Also, certain proteins present in meat and fish are linked to cancer when these foods are grilled or fried at high temperatures.

According to the American Dietetic Association and Dietitians of Canada an assortment of plant foods eaten over the course of a day can provide you with complete protein.

Yes this is very true. I have been a vegan for a very long time now and even a vegitarian before that for some time. I guess it is just peoples opinions on what they eat, but it's scientifically proven that vegetarian and vegan diets are much healthier.

I heard that some vegetarians eat some meat such as fish and seafood; some even drink milk and eat cheeses. Is this true? If so doesn't that contradict to the meaning of vegetarian?

I am thinking of becoming a vegetarian or even a vegan, the only problem is that some meat like chicken tastes so good.
