Are you interested in protecting your family? Your health? Living on a clean planet? Breathing clean air?
Preserving the planet for your grandchildren? Having safe water? When you get sick, do you expect antibiotics
to cure you? What if they didn’t? Do you care about others? Do you care about the poor? Do you recycle? Do
you pay attention to the food you eat? Do you eat GMOs? Do you know if they are safe to eat? Do you worry
about climate change?
Do you believe you are powerful?
I believe you are very powerful.
I believe one person can change the whole entire world when they try.
I try my best to present the real facts here on this website, but I am not trying to sell you ANYTHING!
What I really need is people who have an open mind who are willing to think logically for a few minutes.
Please skim the following fact sheet...some may immediately click away, but it is so important for
rational, intelligent people to take 2 minutes to know this information! It is up to us to save our
children and grandchildren and their future! Please help me to protect our loved ones!

WHAT REALLY HAPPENS WHEN YOU EAT ANIMALS:
You contribute massive amounts to the pollution of our precious land, air, and water
You usually eat a slew of chemicals, antibiotics, and/or hormones
You give your money and support to the corporations who are causing the rise of new diseases
such as Swine Flu/Avian Flu (from animal confinement and antibiotic overuse); and the rise of
new strains of virulent organisms like E. Coli 0157H7 (kills people, including many children); and
increased antibiotic resistance/development of superbugs (antibiotics not working anymore)
You help to worsen the Dead zones (areas in waterways with no oxygen content often caused by
agricultural run-off - usually animal agriculture); the deforestation of our rainforests (animal
consumption is the leading cause of deforestation); loss of biodiversity (such as wolf culling to
protect farm animals, etc); and the organisms in our water such as Pfisteria
You waste thousands of gallons of water per year and use huge portions of land
You contribute to world hunger, since most grain is fed to farm animals. We could actually solve
world hunger if we fed the grain directly to people! (It takes approximately 10-15 pounds of grain
to make 1 pound of edible meat/animal product)
You put yourself and your family at risk for health complications and disease from the
consumption of these products
You make a MASSIVE undesirable impact on climate change, since raising animals for food is one
of the largest single contributors to greenhouse gases and climate change
You risk contaminating our healthy and Earth-friendly food with animal farm run-off (such as the
spinach recall - the E. Coli did NOT come from the spinach!)
You practice extreme, horrific cruelty to other docile, sentient beings, who live a life of
confinement, often filled with fear and pain, who love their babies and desire to live just as you
do. You either have never been truly asked, or you never have truly allowed yourself, to inwardly
evaluate why you eat cows, pigs, and chickens but you love dogs and cats. If you ever really
asked yourself “why?” [like I did]…you would find this is based utterly on tradition and lack of
conscious thought, and that in fact it makes no sense at all! We have absolutely no dietary need
for these products - no nutritional reason at all to eat them! Engaging beings with feelings and
sentience, some with intelligence that can outperform dogs and even toddlers!

There is so much manure and waste on
modern farms that nothing can be done
with it other than creating these
humongous waste pools known as
‘manure lagoons’ – just huge pools of
poop and waste, with all kinds of
chemical residuals in them. These
lagoons can run off farms and pollute
nearby water bodies, and can cause
serious pollution problems. In 1999,
when Hurricane Floyd hit North
Carolina, at least five manure lagoons
burst and 47 lagoons were completely
flooded with river water mixed with
waste from the lagoons. When the flood
receded, polluted water had saturated
the walls and floors of many homes and
caused untold damage to aquatic life.

Runoff from modern farms have been
linked to problems with dangerous
micro-organisms. The drinking water
system for Milwaukee, Wisconsin was
contaminated in 1993 by
cryptosporidium (bacteria). This
outbreak killed over 100 people and
made more than 400,000 people ill.
Another CAFO-related micro-organism,
Pfiesteria piscicida, is widely believed to
be responsible for fish kills in Maryland,
North Carolina and Virginia and poses
significant risk to human health.

The world is running out of freshwater. Climate change, overconsumption and water pollution are draining
away this precious resource…"we realize that not only are we running out of freshwater, but the current technology
is limited, we lack implementation experience and we are running out of time."
