| Female infants growing breasts: another disaster from hormones in milk production by John Robbins |
| 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.
