"More than 100,000 cows are slaughtered each day!" Don't care about the animals? "Did you know over 40 million people die of starvation each year? Despite this, more than one third of the world's grain harvest is diverted from feeding people to feeding livestock."

Why?
We don't need the animal protein.
"It is often falsely believed that meat eaters are stronger than vegetarians, but an experiment conducted by Professor Irving Fisher of Yale University on 32 vegetarians and 15 meat-eaters showed that vegetarians had more endurance than meat eaters. He had people hold out their arms for as long as possible. The outcome from the test was very clear. Among the 15 meat-eaters, only two persons could hold out their arms for fifteen to thirty minutes; however, among the 32 vegetarians, 22 persons held out their arms for fifteen to thirty minutes, 15 persons for over thirty minutes, 9 persons for over one hour, 4 persons for over two hours, and one vegetarian held his arms out for over three hours."

Cool info. Maybe I can use it as a bar trick.
