What
we eat affects our health, our immediate
environment, and the lives of countless
animals raised for food.
Why
allow our heath to decline?
Why
degrade our environment?
Why
tolerate animal abuse on factory farms?
A plant-based diet is kind to your health,
to the environment, and to the animals.
“If you
have men who will exclude any of God's creatures
from the shelter of compassion and pity,
you will have men who will deal likewise
with their fellow men...”
—St. Francis of Assisi, Roman
Catholic friar, founder of the Franciscans
order
“Life
is as dear to the mute creature as it is
to a man. Just as one wants happiness and
fears pain, just as one wants to live and
not to die, so do other creatures.”
—His Holiness The Dalai
Lama, The Vegetarian Way, 1967
