"one less act of violence"

came across an article by Cheri huber - "One less act of violence"

it is about making people aware of the other way of living i.e. being a vegeterian. apart from the usual argument about kindness to animals, it had some compelling facts as follows -

- One lifelong vegetarian saves the lives of more than 1000 animals
- Livestock production consumes more than half of all water used for all purposes in the US
- It takes 55 square feet of Latin American land to produce enough grazing area for a single meat patty.
-Hundreds of millions of tons of the world's grain harvest are fed to animals. Less than 5 million tons of grain could feed all the children who starve to death each year.
- Over half a million newborn male chicks are thrown away every day because they are not useful for food.
- The same amount of land can feed one meat-eater or 20 vegeterians.


*** please don't think that i am advocating being a vegeterian over a non-vegeterian. what i am saying is that make an AWARE choice.
