  I am a vegetarian, this is my 3rd year, I decided to become a vegetarian when I ate some chicken and a hamburger and became extremely sick. I researched a little about it and learned what really happened in a slaughterhouse, and then I decided not to eat meat. It was a very hard thing to do sense I did like some meat but I just had to convince my self the pain to the animals was not worth it. So I read this “Become a Vegetarian” on WWW.Peta2.com and I would like to share it will you. “Almost everyone calls himself or herself an “environmentalist.” Maybe you recycle, pick up litter, or conserve energy in your home. But did you know that if you want to help the Earth, the best thing you can do is to stop eating meat? Here is why: Pollution: Can you imagine a city without a sewer system? That is what factory farms are like. Thousands of animals producing thousands of pounds of, well, poop. The poop hoes into “lagoons,” which often spill over into lakes and streams. Land: On 1 acre of land, you can grow 20,000 pounds of potatoes, or you can grow 165 pounds of beef in the same space. About 87 percent of the farmland in the U.S. is used to raise animals for food. Water: More that half of all water used U.S. goes to raising animals for food! Deforestation: Everyone is hearing about rain forests and how they are disappearing. Where are they going? They are being chopped down to make way for grazing land for cows that will be killed for food. Energy: Producing one fast-food hamburger uses enough fuel to drive a small car 20 miles and enough energy for 17 showers. If you eat hamburgers, you may as well let your faucets drip 24 hours a day. The best thing to do for the environment is to go vegetarian!” The facts are all here and did you know that 85 percent of meat eaters become over weight but only 10 percent of vegetarians become over weight? Thanks, lov ya!
