Not everyone is ready to go full on vegan overnight, but even if you can get an omnivore to try a few vegan meals a week, that has an impact. Jessica, I’m with you all the way! :)

Not to mention the unnecessary and immense cruelty to animals and the complete degradation of the environment of factory farm practices in this country. And the better health that comes from a vegan way of eating! If you know about all of these things are still eating meat, you are saying that you just don't care about these things. If you are honestly committing yourself to cut back on animal foods significantly, than that is one thing. But for most people "cutting back" is something they just talk about and they just continue doing the same thing they always have been doing.
