Going meatless saves money and animals

The Daily Journal

"Meatless Meals" (DJ-2/11) is a great reminder of the many benefits of choosing vegetarian foods. In addition to saving money and eliminating meat, eggs and dairy from your diet, it also saves animals and helps save the planet. It's a win for everyone!
 
Billions of animals are slaughtered each year to put food on our plates. Farmed animals are subjected to routine cruelties, including intense confinement, mutilations without anesthesia and most never set foot outside.
 
It's easier than ever to be vegetarian with a plethora of Web sites, blogs and cookbooks, so don't wait -- start cooking today! For delicious, easy recipes visit VegRecipes.org.
