Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic? 'Vanity asks the question, 'Is it popular? 'But conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?' And there comes a point when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because one's conscience tells one that it is right. -Martin Luther King, Jr.

Did you know that factory farming and raising animals for consumption creates more pollution than automobiles and planes combined?? It is the most inconvenient truth of them all. A meateater on a bicycle leaves a bigger carbon footprint than a vegan driving a hummer! Here are a few links that I found to be informational: UN News Centre Earth Save Animals Australia, Global warming – the impacts of animal production Meat & The Environment

Humane myth. An idea being propagated by the animal-using industry and some animal protection organizations that it is possible to use and kill animals in a manner that can be fairly described as respectful or compassionate or humane.

The Mill Dog Rescue Network

a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization, exists for two sole purposes, to rescue, rehabilitate and re-home retired mill dogs and to educate the general public about the realities of the commercial dog breeding industry.

These four food groups provide the good nutrition you need. There is no need for animal-derived products in the diet, and you're better off without them. Be sure to include a reliable source of vitamin B12, such as any common multiple vitamin or fortified foods.
