Magazines, newspapers and cookbooks are showing us easy and delicious ways to incorporate vegetarian meals into our lives. Eating more vegetarian meals has a profound effect outside the body, too. It s a little complicated to explain, but eating low on the food chain is the single most effective thing you can do to preserve the environment. The immense amount of resources going into meat production could feed a lot of people if the food given to animals was left as grains and legumes. And although at first glance the connection may not be readily apparent, meat production is involved in many other problems affecting the environment today including the destruction of forests, the extinction of animal species due to loss of habitat, and the pollution of waterways.
Small acts add up.
So each time you choose to eat a natural, vegetarian meal you ll find that you are making a difference to yourself and to our planet. You can be a vegetarian for a meal a week, a meal a day or until the cows really do come home. It helps you.
