Today, on the 1st of
October, it is the worldwide day of vegetarianism!
And, as recent studies show it, more
and more people, especially young ones, decide to live without
consuming meat.
This is, for many reasons, a
really good developement!
Animals are living beings, just as
humans are. They have personality, feelings, and should have the same
right to live as we admit every human!
Instead of that, humans put them
together in small boxes, practise factory farming and finally kill
them in often very cruel ways.
But the most people do not really think
about the fact that meat is really a piece of a dead body of an
animal and that this animal died for them!
For example, in the last time, I also
saw a lot of people not understanding the motivation and what it
means to be be vegetarian.
Especially in Turkey and Hungary, where
I was for short holidays, but also here in Greece, I recognised that
many people do not understand, why a person wants to be a vegetarian.
When I went to small diners or also to
restaurants and asked for something vegetarian, they offered me
something with chicken or with sausages, so things which are still
made out of dead animals.
People have to realise
that!
Why should someone be a vegetarian?
Good for environment and against hunger worldwide:
Depending on the kind of animal, for
one kg of meat, you have to grow and feed 6-10 kg of plants.
So, 70 % of the worldwide cereal
production is used just to feed the livestock!
If you would use these cereals to feed
humans on the direct way, a lot of people would not have to starve
anymore.
Furthermore, every cattle sends into
the air about 250 l of methane. According to the searching findings
of the scientist Joseph H. Reichholf, this kind of gas is 23 times
more dangerous for the atmosphere than CO2 and, because of that,
livestock breeding is more harmful for the environment than than the
traffic all over the world together.
Good for your health:
It is proved by
different scientific researches, that adequate vegetarian nutrition
is more healthy than nutrition with much meat: you do not get ill so
quick, and it helps to avoid overweight and to regulate the blood
pressure.
And, the most
important thing:
It
helps to stop the cruel violence towards animals!!
