I’m asking you all for a small favor …

Just for today, would you all go without eating any meat or dairy products? Would you make this small sacrifice — just for this one day?

Would you do this for me?

And if not for me, would you do this for the Earth — knowing that every single pound of flesh you refuse to consume frees up 2500 gallons of fresh water for other uses, protects over 100 square feet of rainforest, and stops over 20 pounds of greenhouse gasses from being released into our atmosphere?

And if not for the Earth, would you do this for the animals — knowing that every single day you choose to live vegan directly saves the lives and prevents the incarceration & torture of up to a dozen caring, sentient beings?

And if not for the animals, would you do this for your loved ones — knowing that meat & milk are both laced with carcinogens and are directly linked to both obesity & heart disease?

So, what do you think … Can you go vegan for just one day?

Can you please do so TODAY?

“Just how destructive does a culinary preference have to be before we decide to eat something else? If contributing to the suffering of billions of animals that live miserable lives and (quite often) die in horrific ways isn’t motivating, what would be? If being the number one contributor to the most serious threat facing the planet (global warming) isn’t enough, what is? And if you are tempted to put off these questions of conscience … to say not now, then when?” ~ Jonathan Safran Foer
