Vegetarian 101 // Vegetarianism in a Nutshell

Vegetarianism in a Nutshell: Conclusion

I'm convinced, on the basis of the evidence, that a vegetarian diet is—without a doubt—the very best choice for our health, the only sustainable choice for the environment, and the only choice that expresses in a positive manner who we are in the world—compassionate people, compassionate toward both humans and other animals.

The best musician of the past 100 years in my opinion, Sir Paul McCartney, summed it up, saying, "If anyone wants to save the planet, all they have to do is just stop eating meat. That's the single most important thing you could do. It's staggering when you think about it. Vegetarianism takes care of so many things in one shot: ecology, famine, cruelty."

Thank you for listening, and happy eating.
