A vegetarian diet is the secret to longevity, healthy weight, health for the individual and the world itself. Food for vegetarians requires less input of water and fossil fuels, compared to raising factory-farmed meat, dairy, and eggs: 70 calories of fossil fuels are used for every calorie of meat raised vs. 16 calories for every calorie of vegetable protein grown. For this reason true vegetarians can take heart that they are not contributing by their food choices to ecosystem pollution or global hunger. Becoming a vegetarian assures one of better nutrition than the meat and dairy-based Standard American Diet -- at a lower cost because you are receiving critical nutrients that are only found in plants.
Becoming a vegetarian doesn't waste fossil fuels
