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.

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!
