Is Your Diet a Killer—or a Lifesaver?

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!

    I have always lived in Los Angeles but my family and I went to Mexico for my parents wedding. So we came back to LA. I don't like LA but were here already what can I do unless I move out and find my own housing. I have always liked animals and it was til I was like about 14 when I learned about tests they do on animals and I began to explore animal cruelty because I was interested it in it. I have watched videos that just broke my heart so that's why today I'm doing all I can to not buy anything that has harmed an animal and I'm vegetarian .
