Why Be Vegan?
For The Environment
Peer-reviewed studies state that global greenhouse gas emissions from animal-based foods are twice those of plant-based foods. We know that raising animals for food pollutes our land, air, and water-ways with liquid and solid waste.
Being vegan is one of the best things you can do if you care for the environment and will decrease your carbon footprint by 73%.
For Our Health
The longest, healthiest lives are made possible with a well planned whole-foods vegan diet. Studies show that plant‐based diets help protect against the risk of many of our most common and deadly illnesses like heart disease and stroke.
Being vegan is scientifically proven to help you lose excess weight, protect against cancers, and improve your overall health.
For the Animals
Condemning sentient beings to a life of suffering, deprivation and murder is immoral and unnecessary. Scientific studies have concluded that non-human animals like cows and chickens experience pain and suffer just like us.
Being vegan brings down demand for animal products and saves over 100 animals a year from being killed.
