Myth Busting: How Can One Person Make a Difference?

The average vegetarian spares the lives of 95 animals each year. That adds up to thousands during a lifetime. Thousands! Every time we eat, we are making a powerful choice that has profound consequences on the lives of animals and the health of our bodies.

Keep in mind that modern agriculture is purposely keeping things from consumers. To them, the less we know about what’s happening before the meat hits the plate, the better. By not buying meat or dairy we help shift the demand from the cruelty of factory farms to the production of vegetarian foods. Our choices are powerful.

We all want to contribute something positive to this world and to make a difference. In order to do that, we have to do something different. It’s easy to go along with the status quo, but it’s more important to do what we feel is right in our hearts. You don’t have to be an animal activist to help animals; you just have to stop eating them.
