Jesus was a Vegetarian ~ MUST SEE!

The Greek word for "fish weed" (a dried seaweed) has been mistranslated in stories as "fish". Furthermore, the Bible was altered at The Council of Nicea.

10 billion animals are killed each year in the US alone for food.

Rearing cattle produces more greenhouse gases than driving cars. - 2006 UN Report warning.

Even Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth did not mention that consuming meat and dairy is worse for the environment than all emissions from the automotive industry.

1) Factory farms produce massive amounts of dust and other contamination that pollutes our air. A study in Texas found that animal feedlots in the state produce more than 14 million pounds of particulate dust every year and that the dust 'contains biologically active organisms such as bacteria, mold, and fungi from the feces and the feed'.

2) According to the nonprofit group Greenpeace, all the wild animals and trees in more than 2.9 million acres of rainforest were destroyed in the 2004-2005 crop season in order to grow crops that are used to feed chickens and other animals in factory farms.

3) According to a 2006 UN report, the livestock sector causes more greenhouse gases worldwide than the entire transportation sector.

4) Nitrous oxide is about 300 times more potent as a global warming gas than carbon dioxide. According to the U.N., the meat, egg, and dairy industries account for a staggering 65 percent of worldwide nitrous oxide emissions.

5) According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the run-off from factory farms pollutes our waterways more than all other industrial sources combined. The EPA reports that chicken, hog, and cattle excrement have polluted 35,000 miles of rivers in 22 states and contaminated groundwater in 17 states.

6) It takes 16 pounds of grain and 2,500 gallons of water to produce 1 pound of meat. One average meat eater could consume that pound of meat during a meal, while 16 people could have been fed on the grain it takes to produce that pound of meat.

7) The meat industry causes more water pollution in the US than all other industries combined because the animals raised for food produce 130 times more excrement than the entire human population--86,000 lbs per second. A typical pig factory farm generates a quantity of raw waste equal to that of a city of 12,000 people.

8) Every 2 seconds, a child starves to death somewhere in the world. Countries such as Ethiopia and some Central American countries use their farmland to supply the United States with cheap burgers instead of growing healthful grain foods for their own starving people.

9) The livestock population of the US consumes enough grain and soybeans to feed more than 5 times its human population. 90% of all corn and 80% of all grains and beans grown in the US are used to feed livestock animals.

10) 75 percent of U.S. topsoil has been lost to date, 85 percent of that loss is due to livestock rearing. Meat is murder on the environment A kilogram of beef is responsible for more greenhouse gas emissions and other pollution than driving for 3 hours while leaving all the lights on back home.

Fortunately there is something you can do -- switch to a plant-based diet, or at the very least reduce your meat and dairy consumption.

Go vegan for all sentient beings & for the environment. From www.woodstockFAS.org Many leading environmental organizations, including the National Audubon Society, the WorldWatch Institute, the Sierra Club, and the Union of Concerned Scientists, have recognized that raising animals for food damages the environment more than just about anything else that we do.

The meat industry is one of the most destructive ecological industries on the planet.

It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause any man to stumble. [Romans 14:21]

Meats for the belly, and belly for meats; but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. [Corinthians 6:13]

Jesus said, Blessed is the lion which the man shall eat, and the lion become man; and cursed is the man whom the lion shall eat, and the lion become man. [Gospel of Thomas 7]

PETA does do some good things but overall they are a horrible orgaization.

Jesus, may have been vegan, because all vegans go to heaven.

@moshloops He myth that Jesus "fed the multitudes fish" is based on an old translation mistake. In the first centuries there were 36 gospels but the meat eating popes and their church banned most and changed the remaining four...

[harparkrat1]

@moshloops Jesus was member of the Esseni and they were vegetarians.

[moshloops]

Wait, but God himself delivered meat (quail) to the Israelites in the desert. Personally, I don't believe that Jesus was a vegetarian. I believe pita has conjured up a creative marketing campaign, using Jesus for their own means. Not to say that I'm for animal cruelty.  The footage is horrifying but to say Jesus was a vegetarian is a little over the top. Even if he didn't eat meat, he condoned eating it when he fed the multitudes fish.

[MrZombieIsHungry]

@MrZombieIsHungry but the creatures HE created at that point also I meant to say. bad typo had to correct.

[MrZombieIsHungry]

@MissRenesmeePretty also keep in mind that it's important to trace back to the beginning of Adam and Eve to find out what God intended for mankind BEFORE mankind sinned against God. Adam and Eve were created with a vegan lifestyle, before they sinned, there was no animal killing, eating, ect. This is shown in Gen 1:29 where God gave ONLY fruits, seeds and plants as food for not only humans but the creatures she created at that point also. So mankinds sin is why any of that changed in that time.

[MrZombieIsHungry]

@MissRenesmeePretty I'm not sure what passage you're refering to. If a person say's their reason to continue to eat meat is because Jesus ate fish, remind them of this. That verse only say's that Jesus was given a piece of fish and bread and he ate it. I would not consider that a reason to eat meat. Jesus also allowed animal sacrifice as a penility because mankind sinned against God before Christ died and rose again for our sins. Because something was allowed then, does not mean it is now.

[MrZombieIsHungry]

@alligatoroutlawgoode One point to be aware of is that Jesus himself ate very little flesh anywhere in the Bible. A few times Jesus would partake in that just as he allowed sacrifice before he died and rose again from the cross. In Gen as you mentioned, that was after mankind sinned against God so at that point harmony between the animals and mankind was also effected by their sinful choice. It's also why God said that one day the lion shall again lie down with the lamb. To return to what was.
