first Meat is a piece of vitality?
Meat consumption is a major cause of common diseases of civilization : diabetes, gout, fatty liver, water deposits, rheumatism, allergies, metabolic disorders, heart and circulatory diseases, cancer. These sufferings are the result of over-and malnutrition. The cause of many illnesses and allergies is found in animal protein. Numerous studies have demonstrated this relationship clearly. Skin diseases such as atopic dermatitis, which are considered incurable, often through a vegetarian or vegan (strictly vegetable) diet to heal.
second Does a vegetarian diet deficiency?
A balanced and wholesome vegetarian diet contains all the necessary nutrients (proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals) in sufficient quantity. This is particularly true for all amino acids, vitamin B12, iron and calcium. The 2003 study published by the ADA (American Dietetic Association) states:
"A well-planned vegan and other types of vegetarian diet is suitable for any stage of life, including during pregnancy, lactation, childhood and adolescence. It is the position of the ADA that a reasonable planned vegetarian diet promotes health and nutritional needs is appropriate, and provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases "

third Why is there factory farming?
to 1988, the enormous rise in meat consumption has made farming a profitable business. This has worsened the living conditions of animals dramatically. Farming means a continuous torment by unmet needs and inescapable constraints (extremely narrow confinement, lack of rest areas, stunting of body parts, not usual for their species Food, no social contacts, etc.). These intensive farming is the direct result of the demand for cheap meat.
4th Why are wasted by the consumption of meat food?
only 1 kg of beef obtained from 10 kg of grain. The rest takes the bull for his life support. Who eats through the detour of meat consumed, so many more plants than in the vegetarian lifestyle. With 1 hectare of potatoes as 11 people can meet protein (protein) and 17 are supplied with enough calories (from livestock, however only a maximum of 2.5 people).
are similar conditions in water consumption: for the production a kilo of beef 15m ³ of water are required for a kilo of cereals are enough 0.4-3m ³ water.
The waste associated with animal suffering:
If the land is used for agriculture, can be on the same surface protein with 5 - 10 times more people than eat meat and dairy industry.

5th How the chemical enters the meat?
The living conditions in factory farms require high levels of drugs that we take on the consumption of meat (such as antibiotics, hormones, psychotropic drugs, Tranquilizers). Toxins from feed produced in monoculture, accumulate also in the flesh. Even the so-called mad cow disease (BSE) was a direct result of factory farming: plant-eating cattle since the beginning of the 80s forced by the agricultural industry to "force feed" processed sheep's carcass to eat to produce more meat or milk . These sheep had partially died of the disease "scrapie". BSE can be transmitted eg by eating meat from infected animals to humans, and ends in disaster (BSE is the same as the Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease).
6th What has the hunger in the so-called third world to do with our meat consumption?
Without the massive feed imports from the so-called third World could be our quantities of meat produced at all. Every seven seconds someone somewhere in the world of a child under ten years of hunger, because that plant food lack. 826 million people are undernourished permanently flame (Jean Ziegler UN, 2003). In the agricultural areas of these regions, plant food is grown and sold as animal feed in developed countries, around here the "processing" to serve for fattening feed: misery by "compensating".
7th Eat and be eaten. Is not that natural?
Many people would vegetarian diet if they had the animals they eat, even kill. Before that, close to the other do for them, they like to avoid. The man is conscious in a position to make decisions and take responsible and also the consequences of his actions reflect.
why we make it easy for us, when we transfer the behavior of the animal kingdom to human life. Since we can live well without killing animals, it is senseless cruelty, if we let them kill yet.
8th Why meat-eaters in for the destruction of forests are partly responsible?
The causes of acid rain are sulfur dioxide (Industry) and nitrogen oxides (car) that rain down after a conversion in the atmosphere as sulfuric or nitric acid. The evaporation of ammonia from the large amounts of manure from factory farms leads to the formation of nitric acid.
Both acids cause a high concentration of the destruction of the epidermis and drying the leaves. In the long term causes "acid rain" the necessary Nährmetalle leaching from the root area of trees and the release of slightly toxic aluminum. In the Netherlands, for example, walk 30% of the forest die back to the factory farms. Ammonia clouds from manure are still detectable in Lapland. The forest mortality is Areas of strong farming is very high.
9th Meat consumption promotes the destruction of nature?
The South American rain forest (also called "lungs of the world") is cleared to create arable land for feed and pasture. The destruction of sites, many times larger than Germany, is the result. The water resources, climate and the carbon dioxide content of air can be permanently changed. Tens of thousands of plant and animal species are extinct.
10th What steak and chops to do with climate change?
According to a study by the FAO (Agriculture Organization of the UN) The 2006 is the production of animal food for 18% of all anthropogenic greenhouse emissions, and is therefore prior to the transport sector is also very stressful.
Greenhouse gas emissions are, for example for a kilogram of beef at 13,000 g CO2-equivalents, g for one kilogram of pork at 1,900 g for example, a kilogram of potatoes but only at 240 for one kilogram of vegetables and 150 g CO2-equivalents. The vegetarian lifestyle, according to a study by University of Giessen reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 50%.
11th Is the vegetarian diet the diet of the future?
The number of Earth's population continues to rise. Agricultural land can not expand without immense ecological damage. Rather, they are reduced by constant stress and one-sided exploitation. In a vegetarian diet and equitable distribution of food needed and will continue to starve anyone. This opportunity is built in, if we keep our meat consumption and by promoting the export of meat surpluses in the EU in the so-called "third world" meat consumption yet. Hunger is made!
12th Vegetarian - how does that work?
The vegetarian cuisine thrives on indulgence and the Getting started is easy. To to make the start, you can try vegetarian restaurants / hotels, buy a nice vegetarian cookbook, try one of our recipes, attend a vegetarian cooking course record (eg Adult Education / Health), contact with other vegetarians (offer in many cities in Germany "Veggie clubs' exchange, assistance and consulting), vegetarian magazines ("natural vegetarian" or "Vegetarian fit! subscribe"), browse to the website vegetarian-einkaufen.de, take the telephone nutrition counseling of VEBU claim or information material of VEBU in our Shop.
"natural vegetarian, "the magazine of the VEBU informed in detail about health, nutrition, ethics, animal welfare and rights, environment, agriculture and more. We are happy to send you free of charge a sample issue and information about the benefits of VEBU membership.
