Hi ilanit,

As promised here is your second part of the top 101 Reasons to

Be Vegetarian:

** Part 2 is all About 'LAND' ...

12. If they continue to clear American forests to raise cattle at the

present rate, in 50 years there will be none left.

13. 1 acre yields 165 lbs of beef or 20,000 lbs of potatoes.

14. 8/10 of cultivated land in the UK is used to grow food for

animals (14,732,000 hectares).

15. It takes 16lbs of high protein soya to produce 1 lb of beef.

16. Since 1945 in the UK we have lost 95% of flower meadows,

50% of ancient woodlands, 40% of heathlands, 50% of wet lands

& 224,000 km of hedgerows all due to animal farming.

17. Pressure on land due to meat farming leads to soil erosion

6billion tons/year in the USA.

18. If everyone went vegetarian upto 90% of land used for animal

farming could be taken out of production & used to replant

woodlands, leisure activities etc.

19. 25% of Central america's forests have been destroyed for

cattle grazing since 1960.

20. Between 1966-1983 38% of the Amazon rain forest was

destroyed for cattle grazing.

21. 90% of cattle ranches established on cleared forest land go

bankrupt in less than 8 years as the land becomes barren due to

nutrient loss & overgrazing.

22. Overgrazing by cattle is destroying the land & increasing

desertification, nearly 430 million acres in the USA alone has

suffered a 25-50% reduction in yield since first grazed.

23. An inch of topsoil takes 200-1000 years to develop - yet in

the USA they have lost around 1/3 of their prime topsoil in 200

years (around 7 inches) due to animal farming.

24. Land will be lost due to rises in sea level due to global

warming due to animal farming.

You will get Part 3 in another day or so, look out for it in your inbox.

Warmly,
