After reading the article, "21 Reasons to Become a Vegetarian" a few reasons stood out to me:

Did you know that..."100 acres of land will produce enough beef for 20 people but enough wheat to feed 240 people."?!

keep in mind that Africa, where millions are starving to death, provides grain to the developed countries to serve as feed for livestock. And approximately 60 million people die each year as a result of starvation.

I also learned that half of the rain forests in the world have been destroyed in order to clear ground to graze livestock. The burning of rain forests contributes to 20% of all greenhouse gases!!!

It takes 2,500 gallons of water to produce one pound of meat
