There are two big reasons to take that first step towards being vegan. The first is the extreme cruelty to animals involved in modern industrial farming. Yes, if you take great precautions, you can find meat from animals that have been raised with care, but it is not easy. 99 percent of chicken meat, 95% of pork, over 75% of beef is raised with cruel industrial methods. You don't want to know how it actually works. And that right there should ring a bell.
Just to be honest, I am barely trending veggie myself. No beef or pork, but yes, I eat chicken and fish, though I am beginning to have days when I don't
But there is another reason, which is that our huge appetite for meat is not sustainable. Here's a good overview of the subject: http://www.worldwatch.org/node/549.
My suggestion for this first full moon action cycle at Voices of Humanity is that we all start our own personal trend towards going veggie!
