Go Veggie

Love life!

People are drawn to vegetarianism by all sorts of motives. Some of us want to live longer, healthier lives or do our part to reduce pollution. Others have made the switch because we want to preserve Earth’s natural resources or because we’ve always loved animals and are ethically opposed to eating them.

"It is the position of the American Dietetic Association that appropriately planned vegetarian diets, including total vegetarian or vegan diets, are healthful, nutritionally adequate and may provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. Well-planned vegetarian diets are appropriate for individuals during all stages of the life-cycle including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood and adolescence and for athletes."

American Dietetic Association
Position Statement (July 1, 2009)

Regardless of the reason for your interest in a vegetarian lifestyle, our aim is to provide you with all the knowledge and support you need to make an intelligent, informed decision.

When you discover the benefits and wonderful side effects of a vegetarian diet, we’re sure you’ll agree that no other step could have as positive an impact on our world or on our own personal lives.

At Down to Earth, we believe that the single most important thing an individual can do for their health, for the environment, and for the sake of the innocent animals is to adopt a vegetarian diet.

" It is increasingly obvious that environmentally sustainable solutions to world hunger can only emerge as people eat more plant foods and fewer animal products. To me it is deeply moving that the same food choices that give us the best chance to eliminate world hunger are also those that take the least toll on the environment, contribute the most to our long-term health, are the safest, and are also, far and away, the most compassionate towards our fellow creatures. "

" The Gods created certain kinds of beings to replenish our bodies; they are the trees and the plants and the seeds."

Plato, Greek philosopher
