Chop Suey is now Astig Vegan!

Unfortunately, we can't find the convert button that will seamlessly transfer all of our posts from this blog to another blogspot account, SO we easily transferred it via Wordpress...

www.AstigVegan.wordpress.com

Your feedback and ideas are very important to us so we hope we continue our dialogue over there at AstigVegan.

Cheers,

Food for Thought:

"The animals of this world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans anymore than black people were made for white people or women for men." - Alice Walker

"It is a mistake to see issues of human and animal exploitation as mutually exclusive. On the contrary, all exploitation is inextricably intertwined. All exploitation is a manifestation of violence. All discrimination is a manifestation of violence. As long as we tolerate violence of any sort, there will be violence of every sort." - Gary Francione

"Until we are all free, none of us are free." - Frederick Douglass

“Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.” - Leo Tolstoy

Animal Agriculture and the Global Ecology:

- Animal agriculture generates more greenhouse gas emissions than does the use of gasoline in cars, truck, and other vehicles used for transport.

- Livestock use 30% of the earth’s entire land surface, including 33% of the global arable land used for producing feed for livestock.

- Animal agriculture is resulting in deforestation as forests are cleared to make way for new pastures and in serious and widespread degradation of land through overgrazing, compaction, and erosion.

- Animal agriculture is a major threat to the world’s increasingly scarce water resources. Large quantities of water are needed to produce feed for livestock, widespread overgrazing disturbs water cycles and animal agriculture is a serious source of water pollution.

- Animals consume more protein than they produce. For every kilogram of animal protein produced, animals consume an average of almost 6 kilograms, or more than 13 pounds, of plant protein from grains and forage.

- It takes more than 100,000 liters of water to produce one kilogram of beef, and approximately 900 liters to produce one kilogram of wheat.

Vegetarian Diets and Your Health:

From the American Diatetic Association (ADA), the world’s largest organization of food and nutrition professionals:

"It is the position of the American Dietetic Association that appropriately planned vegetarian diets, including total vegetarian or vegan diets, are healthful, nutritionally adequate and may provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. Well-planned vegetarian diets are appropriate for individuals during all stages of the life-cycle including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood and adolescence and for athletes."

“Vegetarians tend to have a lower body mass index and lower overall cancer rates. Vegetarian diets tend to be lower in saturated fat and cholesterol and have higher levels of dietary fiber, magnesium and potassium, vitamins C and E, folate, carotenoids, flavonoids and other phytochemicals. These nutritional differences may explain some of the health advantages of those following a varied, balanced vegetarian diet.”
