Reasons to abstain from carnivory

1. Our intestines are so long, meat rots in our gut before we can process it.

2. 18% of carbon dioxide we produce are from livestock. Animals killed worldwide for Americans' food in 2009 amount to 8.3 billion land animals and 51 billion sea animals. (So, a total of about 59 billion animals.) Most estimates put worldwide animal deaths for food consumption at 150 billion per year.

3. If you are sensitive to your emotions and the way hormones and chemicals feel, you may notice that meat carries fear and other undesirable emotions. Animals have personal experiences and the feelings they have are translated into chemicals and hormones which stays in the body. 


4. You don't "need it." You're just attached to the culture you were raised with. There are other sources of protein.
