EAT TO LIVE
The purpose of food is to sustain life .Yet today ,we are eating our way into disease.death
and destruction of the planet .
Medical research has already estalisheb the link between meat and cancer,cholestrol,heartdisease,diabetes and scorces of toher killers .As if that were not enough,here comes the incontrovertible proof that meat contributes hugely to global warming .
All logic indicates vegetarianism .How long shall we remain blinded by gluttony?
A TASTE OF TRUTH
Global warming is caused by
greenhouse gases that destroy the ozone layer which protects the earth against harmful ultraviolet light .However, a report by the United Nation Food and Agriculture Organisation shows that the meat sector is responsible for more greenhouse gas emissions than transport .The culprit is a gas called methane which is released by animal drug .Each kg of methane warms the earth 25 times as much as a similar amount of carbon dioxide.
CUT MEAT NOT TREES Meat is the single greatest cause of deforestration world wide .In Brazil and Argentina ,rainforests are being replaced with grazing grounds for meat herds .In India ,shepherds feed their sheep and cattle in forest areas .
lmost 30 per cent of the world''s entire surface is growing fodde for livestock.Apart from land ,meat both consumes and poisons water .Slaughterhouse effluent are tturning our rivers into nullahs .In Delhi ,13,000 liters of blood are poured into the Yamuna every single day !
GLOBAL WARNING
Climate change is not somewhere in the distant future ,we not somewhere in the distant future ,we are already experiencing it .Unpredictable climate means agricultural confusion .For an agriculturel country like India this spells complete disaster .For island ,the news is even worse.Global warming is causing the Arctic glaciers to melt meaning a rise in ocean levels that will submerge island nations like
Mauritius ,Maldives and even cities like Venice .Health-wise ,destruction of the ozone layer means more skin cancer .Global warming has become such a serious and immediate concern that even George Bush made greenhouse gas emission levels an issue .And if George Bush is talking about global warming ,man,wemust be in terrible trouble .
MEAT IS NOT A PERSONAL CHOICE
Just like smoking which has been shown to kill non-smokers ,meat can no longer be defended as a personal shoise .Animal destroying the environment
If your meat is going to jeopardise my health ,climate ,water ,air food producing and planet ,it is certainly a much broader concern than simply a food choice ,and one on which I would expect the government has ralised its responsibility .Ours must do the same
QUORN ON THE COB
For meataholics ,there is also a vegetarian taste -a like called Quorn Linda Mc Cartney Produced a whole non-meat range including sausage ,steak and so on using Quorn.
There ''s a huge business opportunity awaiting anyone bringing it to India Environmental protection is not someone else''s job .It''s your''s .
"Turn vegetarian today .Everything else comes later."
