Make a change

Everybody loves meat they can eat it all day. There are many different types since their are many different types of animals. Did you know that by changing your food diet you can help the environment? Yes, by just eating less meat and more green you can help the environment and minimize global warming. Eating meat and dairy products creates global warming because raising animals and producing meat produces a lot of the green house emissions. When people just grow simple plants they don't harm the environment and they actually help keep the air clean. By eating meat it's hard because taking care of animals is hard work and wastes the environment natural resources. To take care of them large amounts of water and land is used as well as grain and fuel. Every year half of water sources, one third of fuels, and 70 percent of grain is used in the United states to grow land. Another thing on how you help is when you stop eating meat you decrease animal cruelty. Animals are being hurt and suffer a lot by being packed in factories by not eating you can stop this too.

                    
            Another thing you may have not known was that you may think seafood is a lot better than regular food but it may be actually harming you more. Through the research study of the Chicago Tribune and Rutgers University it shows that seafood has high levels of mercury more then people think. Mercury can really damage you if you have a lot of it. It can damage the nervous system of children and fetuses which decreases memory and attention span and other affects. To adults it causes fatigue and numbness in their hands and feet. Eating this may also increase heart attacks. Im not saying you should just stop eating meat in total because that's hard and you do sometimes need meat in your body. By just eating less of it and eating green and healthy you can save the planet and animals!
