| Did You Know... Vegetarianism is a more healthy lifestyle than meat eating. People die every day from meat linked diseases. If you're worried about not getting enough protein, there are plenty of sources other than meat, including nuts and legumes. The livestock industry uses about half the nation's water. In a survey of 21 slaughterhouses, 31% of the cows were found to have major bruises caused by rough handling. From what amount of land it takes to feed one beef cow, we could be cultivating and raising enough grain and crops to feed many of the hungry people in America. Because of selective breeding, the average cow now produces 39 pounds of milk, which is ten to twenty times what she would need to succle her calf. Pigs were first domesticated in China 7,000 years ago. Roughly 300,000 horses are slaughtered in the US each year to export to Europe and Asia for human consumption. In 1996, over 9 billion animals were killed for food in the US. Among these innocent victims were: 8 billion "meat" chickens, 407 million "egg" chickens, 409 million turkeys, 107 million pigs, 37 million cattle, 22 million ducks, and 7 million calves. In a lifetime, the average American meat eater consumes 2,600 innocent animals. Most restaurants will provide a vegetarian dish to a customer upon request.
