WHY GO VEGAN?

FOR THE ANIMALS

• To have an emotional attachments with animals,
• Because they have a right for life and freedom,
• Avoiding animal products is a way you can take a stand against animal cruelty exploitation everywhere.

FOR YOUR HEALTH

• Increased energy,
• Younger looking skin,
• Well-planned plant-based diets are rich in protein, iron, calcium and other essential vitamins and minerals,
• The pant-based sources of these nutrients tend to be low in saturated fat, high in fiber and packed with antioxidants,
• Helps world's biggest health issues like obesity, heart disease, diabetes and cancer.

FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

• We can live a greener life,
• We can lower our carbon footprint,
• Goes way beyond the problem of cow flatulence!

FOR PEOPLE

• Plant-based living is more sustainable way of feeding the human family,
• With rising global food and water insecurity due to myriad of environmental and socio-economic problems, there's never been a better time to adopt a more sustainable way of living,
• Avoiding animal products is the simplest way to take a stand against inefficient food systems which disproportionately affects the poorest people all over the world.

WHY VEGETARIAN ISN'T ENOUGH?

• The production of dairy products necessitates the death of countless male calves that are of no use to the diary farmer, as well as the premature death of cows slaughtered when their milk production decreases,
• Even 'ethical' or 'free range' eggs involve the killing of the 'unnecessary' male chicks when just a day old,
• Egg yolks are almost as bad as smoking.

It's tempting to want to believe that the meat we eat is ethical, that our 'food animals' have lived full, happy lives and that they have experience no pain or fear at the slaughterhouse. Yet the sad truth is that all living creatures (even those labelled 'free range' or 'organic') fear death, just as we do.

The good news is there is something we can do about it. Every time we shop or order food in a restaurant- every time we eat- we can choose to help these animals. Every time we make the switch from animal product to vegan one we are standing up for farmed animals everywhere.

IT'S TIME TO ASK OURSELVES:

• if it's now possible to live a life that involves delicious food and drink,
• delivers better help,
• leaves a smaller carbon footprint and avoids killing other creatures- then why don't we?

We all deserve a chance to live and enjoy our lives!
