Well, in case we were in doubt, it would seem you are not the only 'Save the

Animals' person here ;=) While most if not all of us appreciate the health

advantages of a vegetarian diet, the results of the recent Polls (just posted to

the list in the last day by 's kindly computer) should certainly tell us

that

other concerns, such as ethics, concern for the environment, religion, etc., are

foremost ;=) Interresting!

 

Have a look, everyone! Waddaya think???

 

Best, Pat ;=)

Even is we are not all animal rights activists we can encourage the diet for

health benefits. For every person getting intot he vegan lifestyle that is

more animals saved.

That's true! ;=) It makes little difference to the animals what our reasons are.

Maybe none at all, barring some extreme cases I don't want to contemplate.

And since a balanced vegan diet *is* the healthiest, we should all benefit -

human and non-human animals alike.

Well I am definitely convinced of the diet. In just 5 weeks I have dropped

12 pounds. My cholesterol has dropped 30 points and my blood pressure has

improved a little. My blood sugars the best they have been in years. If I

can save a few chickens in the process then great.
