Myth # 44 : " But I don ' t eat that much meat ."
Well , if that ’ s true – if you don ' t eat much meat to begin with – then it won ’ t be very difficult for you to give it up entirely for one month , which is the amount of time it normally takes for a human body to wean itself from any physical addiction .
And remember , while you are doing so – while you are cleansing yourself of this disastrously unhealthy habit , every single steak or burger you refuse to eat saves enough fresh water for you & your entire family to shower every day for months , saves enough grain to feed dozens of hungry children and , of course , saves the life of at least one innocent sentient being who would have otherwise been cruelly confined , emotionally abused and painfully murdered ... This is true for every single steak or burger ( or sausage link , or piece of chicken ) – every single time you refuse to eat the same .
Indeed , even one meat-laden meal does an amazing amount of damage to the health of you & your family , an amazing amount of damage to the health of your planet , and an amazing amount of damage to the health of the animals that needlessly lost their lives to provide that few minutes of food-fun .
Every meal counts , my Friends ... … So please , eat accordingly .
Thank you .
Current status of this Myth : Impeached Justification it provides for eating animals : NONE
" So often I am told by people that they ' hardly eat any meat '. To those who say this I would like to ask why they feel obliged to mention it at all ? To say that you ' only occasionally ' cause immense suffering and ' only occasionally ' snuff out the life of an innocent creature when you have absolutely no need to do so is actually an admission that you fully understand that what you ' re doing is not consistent with your own values – that what you are doing is morally wrong – and yet that you are doing it anyway ." ~ unknown
