Hi … I’m here from “Water Once a Week”.
This is a wonderful article! I think that eating meatless meals is one of the easiest ways to reduce our footprint on the earth. With the Internet, getting tasty vegetarian recipes is a breeze. It’s good for our health and good for the earth. And imagine what we could do with the resources we’d save (raising animals takes tremendous amount of land and water) … we be able to raise more plant based foods and feed the world.
You have a great blog here. I hope you don’t mind if I follow you and add you to my blog roll.
Take care!

These are some scary statistics. Who would have thought that meat production has such a huge impact. I am sure this will change our food resources and the way we prepare meals. But I think it is still too early for that and people are not ready to make a sudden change. There will be some time before a change in diet happen on a big scale.
That is very true Small Footprints. There are so many great recipes on the web nowadays that there is no reason that you can’t find a good recipes without meat. I appreciate you reading as well as your great comments.
Not eating meat for a day can be so easy. I became a vegetarian about 3 years ago when I got married to my husband (who hasn’t eaten meat in over 15 years). My midwestern family was shocked…what would we eat at holiday meals? But even then can enjoy a meatless meal. This past Christmas I fed my brother, his wife, two teenage sons, my husband, and myself by serving a wonderful mix of veggie meals. Burritos with beans, rice, and cheese; spinach and artichoke dip; and 3 bean salad. Give it a try, you’ll save money, improve your health, and reduce your carbon footprint.
