Smart fatty acids

Imagine your brain as the main gland that sends throughout the body chemical "messengers" that tell every body how to work.

An important group of these chemical messengers are the prostaglandins (so called because they were originally discovered in the prostate).

Prostaglandins stimulate the body's self-healing system. To create a healthy brain cells (the message senders) and prostaglandins (messengers), the body needed two kinds of fat. These are omega 6 fatty acids found in many oils such as Safflower, sunflower, corn and sesame and omega 3 fatty acids found in linen and pumpkin seeds and nuts . Food from which you can get oil is usually one that contains the most essential fatty acids.

Fur Industry - Is it really so cruel?

Even more. Research was conducted by PETA in fur farms have revealed that the animals are killed by their steel rod under an electric charge placed in the rectum and literally fry their interior. Broken bones that protrude, respiratory infections and cancerous tumors are some of the injuries and diseases that live animals without veterinary care at one investigated farm.

Animals caught in steel traps for the feet suffer such pain that a bite off their limbs in order to escape. Unable to feed, warm or defense of the attackers, many die horrible deaths before the one who set the trap come to kill them. Others suffer in traps for days until they can not catch and kill. To avoid damage to the skin, the animals are often beaten or overrun to death. Most of the state has no regulations regarding the methods of killing these animals.

Regardless of whether suffering terrible pain traps or the life of agony in a small cage, the animals suffer immensely.

Vegetarianism Throughout History

Throughout the history of humankind, people have registered their opposition to the cruel way in which animals are oppressed, so many have turned to a vegetarian way of life. The earliest records of vegetarianism as a concept with the idea of nonviolence towards animals appear in the ancient Greek civilisation, and was promoted by religious groups and philosophers. Vegetarianism began many thousands of years ago with great minds like Diogenes, Plato, Pythagoras, Buddha, Plutarch, Plotinus and Socrates. Until the mid-1800's reached western civilization.Famous writers such as Voltaire, Paley, Pope, Shelley, Bentham and Lamartine. The first Vegetarian Society was formed in England on 30 September 1847, and was followed by other countries. The International Vegetarian Union, a union of the national societies, was founded in 1908, and remains active today.

Environmental Reasons to Become Vegetarian

There are many environmental impacts of eating meat. The Vegetarian Society claims that meat eating causes deforestation in the way that the rainforest is cleared to grow grain to raise and feed cattle. The other reason is Water Conservation. It takes 3 to 15 times much water to produce animal protein as it does plant protein. Much water is used to simply fatten up cows for slaughter.
By being a Vegetarian you will help reduce waste and air pollution. All the cattle on the planet produce nearly 100 million tons of methane, which is also a large contributor to global warming. Animal farming produces 65 percent of human related nitrous oxide and 37 percent of all human induced methane. Efficient use of grains is also a reason to become a vegetarian. Animals raised for food consume 90 percent of the soy crop, 80 percent of the corn crop, and a total of 70 percent of grains.
