"Be the change you want to see in the world."

Literally.

If moving to a plant-based diet is too extreme, buy organic meats, or locally-raised meats, or have half a steak (chicken breast) at each meal and increase your vegetable and whole grain brown rice portions.

Do something.




Vote with your dollars. Every dollar you spend is a vote for how you want the world to work. Are you an educated voter?


Where I work, we sometimes have Meatless Mondays where a group goes out for a vegetarian lunch. It's a habit that has the capabilities to become viral and I fully support it.


How is buying 'organic' going to help living conditions?


Great point.

Something being organic itself doesn't necessarily help living conditions, so good point to bring up. My understanding is that even most grassfed beef in the US is brought into the factory farming system and grain-fed the last few months of its life (a process grimly known as "finishing")
