Vegetarians: Better for the Planet!

Among the many reasons to adopt a vegetarian diet, perhaps the most compelling is the disruption to our current system of raising animals for consumption in the U.S. The expectation of inexpensive meat in American supermarkets and fast food restaurants. This has created a huge demanding. The food industry now rely on suppliers that raise chickens, pigs, and hamburger meat in mass quantities this results in these animals being overcrowded in pens and cages. The overuse of antibiotics to keep animals health in these environments have been well documented. With a Vegetarian diet, consumer demand shifts to a variety of fruits, vegetables, and grains. Vegetarians give more thought to the importance of a balanced and varied diet, the consumer seeks more healthy foods from the suppliers. Supporting smaller, more local farms can also be an outgrowth of the movement toward plant-based eating.
