Meat – Global warming

Did you know that consumption of meat is one of the major causes for global warming??? Eating 1 kg of meat emits same amount of greenhouse effect gases as driving a fuel guzzling HUMMER for 135kms… I read an article that 16kgs of grain is required to produce 1kg of meat, so grazing animals for food is highly inefficient, it is also one of the reasons of food crises… If you are not satisfied with these reasons to quit meat then go thru this link

I am sure that you will find at least one good reason to go veg…


I know that it is very difficult for meat lovers like me to become a vegetarian all of a sudden, but still we can give it a try and it’s worth it... We cannot stop global warming fully because any form of human activity causes global warming, obviously we can’t stop all our activities…


So the next time you are in a dilemma to take veg or non-veg food, you know what to take… :)
