Pledge to Eat Veg 30 Day Challenge!

A personal story in the experience: I Am a Vegetarian
J oin the Pledge to Eat Veg 30 Day Challenge Here:

http://www.experienceproject.com/challeng...

By participating in the 'Pledge to Eat Veg 30 Day Challenge', you will be helping animals, and the environment! In addition, you will be doing something terrific for yourself — eating healthy to live a longer life! 

Every year, more than 15 billion animals are slaughtered for food in the U.S. alone. Each of those billions of individual animals is denied everything that is natural and important to them: the space to take a few steps, love, safety from fear and pain, companionship, the joy of being able to nuzzle their young, and often even protection from the cold.

A U.N. report summarized the devastation caused by the meat industry by calling it "one of the top two or three most significant contributors to the most serious environmental problems, at every scale from local to global." By going vegetarian for 30 days, we will work together to mitigate some of the devastation caused by the meat industry in our world.

Eating vegetarian has NEVER been easier! You can make vegetarian versions of all your favorite classic American dishes, by visiting the link below for tasty recipes!  Check out this great vegetarian recipe search engine : http://www.vegcooking.com/searchrecipes.asp

I already eat veg but this is a great idea to encourage others. I do not wish to eat other ceatures that have suffered and died just so that I can satisfy my taste buds.

I don't think this story is the place for this debate. Why don't you two find another story that is more meant for that to discuss this?

This story is just about a current EP challenge. May you both have blessings in your path.

As a vegetarian to begin with, should I take this challenge?
     
Feeling loved

Thanks to Mello I found this. I will do this as I primarily eat veggies anyway but I do eat chicken and some fish so I can't call myself vegetarian. Who knows? Maybe after 30 days I can cut them out too. We shall see.

Been a veggie for 20 or so years......FG, I'm sure you could do it! Glad that PETA are doing that!

For everyone else....best of luck and try to do it for longer if you like it....

i used to include vegetable in my meal and make sure that there is a balance intake of vagetable pork, and meat in my diet, maybe this challenge was for me..

I , for one, think this is silly, and PETA's a disgrace. But more importantly, EP shouldn't be taking sides and shouldn't be promoting flaky, extreme lefty agendas.
