Time to become vegans

Posted January 25, 2017 12:00 am

The complete takeover of our nation's capital by inhumane right-wing Republicans is going to be extremely detrimental to conservationists, ecologists, environmentalists and wildlife and endangered species preservationists.

We desperately need to save Planet Earth, and the best solution now is to embrace savory, tasty, cruelty-free and ecologically friendly vegan cuisine.

Vegans reduce global warming, pollution, cattle grazing, environmental toxicity and deforestation. Vegan food is much more diverse and satiating than dining on the flesh of our fellow sentient beings and creatures of God.

All the grains and soy used to feed mistreated "food animals" can be used to feed millions of starving people in America. The original and idyllic Biblical diet was vegan. (See Genesis 1:29)

There are compelling moral, spiritual, ecological and societal imperatives for all Americans to finally eschew repelling "flesh-foods."
