One of my tweethearts @mgonyeo retweeted a link to the blog post of reasons to stop eating meat.  I thought I’d share it here!

1. To save the lives and well-being of animals.  Our animal friends are treated like pieces of meat in most slaughterhouses.  Animals have souls.  There were over 9 BILLION chickens slaughtered in the US in 2008.  Along with over 35 million cattle, 116 million pigs and over 270 million turkey.  source

2. Lower your risk for cancers.  It is widely accepted in the scientific community that a diet high in meat consumption helps develop certain cancers.  On the flip side, if you do not eat meat, you automatically reduce your risk by 64% of developing stomach cancer and lower your risk by 53% for bladder cancer.  source

Please visit the original post for the rest of the reasons, but feel free to comment here about the nice changes you’ve experienced since cutting out meat.
