If You Were Vegan For One Year...

What kind of contributions does a vegan make in one year?

In one year a vegan will…

Environment

·       Produce 1.5 less tons of carbon emissions through diet alone.

·       Spare at least one acre of pristine rain forest from complete destruction and desertification.

·       Pardon a portion of the ten thousand life forms that are going extinct every year due to animal agribusiness practices.

·       Alleviate the burden on the remaining 25% of sea life left in our oceans.

Economy

·       Allow for more food at lower cost to those in need.

·       Reduces the need for exorbitant animal agribusiness subsidies.

·       Drastically diminish the need for water consumption and further subsidies.

·       Alleviates the burden on Health Care by remaining vitally healthy

·       Make better decisions which require less recuperation costs due to improved cognitive performance.

Food Supply

·       Provides twenty times that of a meat eater, the available food crops for others.

Health

·       Reverse or completely prevent heart disease, cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis, hypertension, atherosclerosis, stroke, impaired cognitive performance, and impotence. (If they are at least mildly active and eating a wide variety, whole foods, plant based diet)

·       Will also promote personal vitality, longevity, joy, and community contribution.

·       Removes cortisol, high protein, high fat and cholesterol, low fiber, low carbohydrate, steroid, antibiotic, bacteria, mad cow, and insecticide laden meat from diet. All of which are serious health impediments.

Intelligence

·       Remove cortisol, high protein, high fat and cholesterol, low fiber, low carbohydrate, and steroid, antibiotic, bacteria, mad cow, insecticide and radiation laden meat and dairy products from their diet, all of which stress the body and impede cognitive performance.

Peace

·       Reduce the demand for land and alleviate competition for usable land for farming.

·       Stabilize their emotions and sensibility. (cortisol in the flesh of panic stricken animals slaughtered for their meat generates fight of flight impulses in those who eat it.)

·       Exercise and build a sense of compassion which is increasingly shared with those around them.

Compassion

·       Reduce the burden on indigenous tribes whose land is being decimated

·       Learn to recognize and revere non-human life as teachers of unconditional Love.

·       Spare 35.7 animals from unnecessary suffering and death

·       Learn to care about the welfare of others including those yet to be born.

Heritage

·       Include the welfare of future generations in decisions they make.

·       Set an example of care and compassion for those around them

·       Set a standard of self love, practicality, and sensibility

·       Promote kindness
