Going Meatless: An Argument

Consider the benefits of going meatless, a vegetarian meal a day makes sense. Eating less meat is good for your health, you'll spend less at the grocery store, and you can even help save the world. Think about it....

Vegetarian Choices for Better Health
A diet high in saturated fats has been shown to raise bad cholesterol levels (LDL), and high cholesterol can lead to heart disease and stroke. Considering that Americans ate a staggering 222 pounds of meat per person in 2006, it's no wonder heart disease is the number one killer in our country.

Save at the Grocery Store
Fresh fruits and veggies cost significantly less than most types of meat, including chicken breasts and ground beef. Serve a hearty bean chili or a quinoa salad instead of the same old chicken for dinner tonight. Your wallet will thank you

Vegetarian Choices Help Protect the Environment
According to the United Nation's Food and Agriculture Organization, livestock production accounts for nearly one fifth of the world's greenhouse gasses, more than transportation.

Take Small Steps Toward Better Nutrition
You don't have to swear off meat forever. But given that you're doing something good for your health, saving money, and fighting global warming, why not try committing to at least one meatless meal a day?
