Alexandra Paul on a
vegetarian diet:
"I have been a
vegetarian for 26 years, since I was 14 years old. I read Frances
Moore Lappe’s “Diet for a Small Planet” and the book educated me on
how important it was for the environment to eat lower on the food
chain: raising cows, pigs and chickens to eat is a wasteful way to
use resources, and in a world where the human population is doubling
every 42 years, it is essential that we use land efficiently so that
everyone can be fed. For example: if you had an acre of land and you
grew potatoes on it, that acre would yield 20,000 pounds of
potatoes. But if you used that same acre to grow grain to feed
cattle, the cattle fed by that acre would only yield 165 pounds of
beef! For every American that switches to a vegetarian diet, an acre
of trees is spared every year. (Diet for a New America by John
Robbins, page 363)
