Did you know....
1. We get back only one pound of beef for every sixteen pounds of grain we invest (to feed the cattle).
2. A given amount of land can feed more than six times as many people eating a vegetarian diet than those eating a meat-based diet.
3. If Americans reduced their meat consumption by 10%, enough grain would be saved to feed 60 million people (instead of the cattle).
4. Due to high demand for grains to feed animals, 75% of Third World imports of corn, barley, oats are fed to animals NOT people.
So the next time you're eating that juicy steak, just take a second to think how many people could have been fed instead....
New Year's Resolution #1: Eat at least 10% less meat. Say yes to tofu!
