...the simplest and most important step each of us can take to end world hunger is to stop eating meat.
When just one person adopts a vegetarian diet, that action frees up land to feed as many as 19 other people. If just 10 percent of American meat-eaters adopted a vegetarian diet, there would be 12 million more tons of grain to feed to humans, enough to support the 60 million people who starve to death each year.

Wow, this is amazing. I definitley think more and more people are waking up, and looking at alternative health, and vegetarian/vegan/raw food diets every day.
