Eat less meat
By Carolin
There are many reasons to eat less meat. You do not need to become a vegetarian but there is also really no reason to eat meat every day. When you plan your dinner for tonight think of this:
- Meat contains a lot of saturated fat
- Meat contains a lot of cholesterol
- Meat is more expensive than vegetarian proteins
- Animals are high up in the food chain so meat contains at lot of pesticides and antibiotics
- Organic meat is expensive
- Meat production adds to global warming; 3 times more fossil fuels are needed to produce a meat centered-diet vs a meat-free diet
- Reduce you you consumption of meat with 50% and you reduce the risk of getting a heart attack with 45%.
- Women who eat 2 ounces (3 ounces for mean) red meat per day are 30%-40% more likely to develop cancer in the lower part of the colon, compared to people who eat red meat a couple of times a week.
Nice and creative, was a very enjoyable read
Actually not all meat is bad for you and filled with saturated fat, white meat, such as turkey and chicken are virtually nothing but protein, of course it has to be somewhat natural, and no, fried chicken does not cut it

Good point Dave.
The British animal welfare organization Animal Aid secretly planted cameras inside a slaughterhouse operated by Tom Lang, whose facility had been certified for the “humane slaughter” of organic animals by the Soil Association. The organization chose Lang’s slaughterhouse precisely because it is certified to the highest standard available in the United Kingdom.
