Hamburger or Earth?

Listen, this is very important, before everyone of us has adopted the sinful diet pattern.

Guys, before entering KFC or McD or want to have a so-called value meal, stop and please think twice. Please be aware that:

Eating one hamburger is 55 square feet of rainforest, which also means the end of half ton of trees, seedlings, seeds, insects, birds, reptiles, mammals, fungi and microorganisims.

Perhaps some will protest, life is to enjoy! We live to eat (instead of eat to live)! If limit here limit there, where is the joy? Eating habit can be changed, although it sounds hard to avoid meat to most people, but will it kill? Answer is a definitely no...I m not asking everybody to refuse meat AT ALL, just REDUCE the consumption of meat. Maybe, one week once or twice? Ok?

Imagine, 5.5kg of grains only can produce one pound (454kg) of meat which only sufficient for ONE meal. However, same 5.5kg of grains could produce 5.5kg of breads which can feed 18 meals!

Just for your information, everyday, 40000 children died of hunger in third world countries. Ironically, more and more city dwellers fork out a big quantity of money in slimming!

We can make a difference at every single meal, simply by leaving the animals off our plate. Don't end up consuming the food that is meant for our future generations!
