Is Your Diet a Killer—or a Lifesaver?

Avatar of Sunny-S

Posted January 3, 2012 by Sunny Subramanian

There are countless things that we can do that endanger our lives, but there’s one thing we can do that can not only help us live longer but also save many more lives at the same time: adopting a vegan diet.

Around 16 billion (that’s “billion” with a “b”) animals are slaughtered each year to feed Americans, which works out to more than 100 animals per meat-eater in the U.S. But you’re smart—you do the math. And then do the smart thing: Go vegan!

    I have hipoglusemia (kind of a type 1 Diabetes) and sometimes I eat vegan for a whole day (sometimes 2 or 3 days in a row) and when I do it actually makes my cravings for sweets go away :)

    There’s about 7,500,000 vegans in America… 7,500,000 X 100=750,000,000… so veganism saves at least seven hundred fifty million animals each year, not counting non-US countries and vegetarians!

    Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.

    Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ

    I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!

    Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.
