Beyond Beef - Destroying the World One Bite At a Time

Escapism. So many of us are spending every second trying to escape reality through television, movies, video games, ipods, and an endless amount of distractions.

We spend so much time doing this that many of us aren't educated about what we can do as individuals to make this a better world for those around us and future generations.

The sad thing is we are not living mindfully and are not opening our eyes up to the destruction caused by the American lifestyle.

The same thing has been happening for thousands of years. At one time the Sahara desert was actually a forest that was thriving with life. Deforestation and livestock grazing turned that land into the largest desert in the world.

Please read Beyond Beef by Jeremy Rifkin so you can live more mindfully and understand how destructive consuming beef is to the environment. Cattle grazing and growing crops for livestock is the primary cause of deforestation, desertification, species extinction, water depletion, water pollution, topsoil erosion, world hunger, and results in more green house gases than all the vehicles in the world according to the Food and Agriculture division of the United Nations.


Why bring children into this world just to destroy it? Learn how to cook some meals that have zero animal products in them and you will be on your way to reducing our resource consumption. According to one estimate switching to a vegan diet can save up to 300,000 gallons of water per year. Professor David Pimentel found that it takes up to 12,000 gallons of water to produce one pound of beef and documented this in his book, Ecological Integrity.

I love myself so I don't eat things that clog my arteries. I love myself so I don't eat things like beef that result in this planet being turned into one gigantic Sahara desert.
