We must BE the CHANGE!

How we can save the Planet and Live in Peace & Harmony The benefits of development are not shared equitably and the gap between rich and poor is widening . Injustice, poverty, ignorance, and violent conflict are widespread and the cause of great suffering. The dominant patterns of production and consumption are causing environmental devastation, the depletion of resources, and a massive extinction of species. We must realize that when basic needs have been met, human development is primarily about being more, not having more. We must join together to bring forth a sustainable global society founded on respect for nature, universal human rights, economic justice, and a culture of peace. Everyone shares responsibility for the present and future well-being of the human family and the larger living world. Respect Earth and life in all its diversity Care for the community of life with understanding, compassion, and love. Build democratic societies that are just, partici

Meat gets the Chop at new Butchershop

Meat Gets the Chop at New Butcher's Shop in The Hague Featured December 10 Words by Simon Hunter AMSTERDAM First Ghent in Belgium opted to go veggie every Thursday, then Sir Paul McCartney clubbed together with Chris Martin and Sheryl Crow to promote "meat- free Mondays". And now Europe's first vegetarian butcher has opened in The Hague. De Vegetarische Slager opened its doors in mid-October, selling a mix of vegetables and meat replacement products made from protein-rich lupin seeds. It's all the idea of lupin farmer Jaap Korteweg, who collaborated with chef Marco Westmaas and Party for the Animals senator Niko Koffeman to create the meat- free treats. "Supermarkets and health food stores offer a growing variety of meat substitutes aimed at vegans, vegetarians, flexitarians [semi-vegetarians] and everyone else who has decided to eat less meat," says Koffema

What are you really feeding your family?‏

When you buy fish for dinner, you probably think that the fish listed on the label is actually the type of fish you are buying. But what if the fish you cook for your family isn’t what it says it is? Recent studies have found that seafood may be mislabeled as often as 25 to 70 percent of the time, disguising species that are less desirable, cheaper or more readily available - which means you could be feeding your family mislabeled, unsustainable fish. The FDA has the power to enforce better labeling, increase inspections, and improve seafood safety, but they won’t do it unless we push them. Tell the FDA that you only want safe, legal and honestly labeled seafood on your plate » You have the right to know where the fish you eat comes from, what kind it is, when and how it was caught and if it was farmed. You should be able to trace your meal from boat to plate. If companies aren’t telling you the truth about what fish you’re buying, why should you trust them to follow health

Information about the healthiest of all Diets and its effects on the world's Cli mate, the Environment, Animal Rights and HUMAN RIGHTS http://www.provegan.info/ Decades ago, the brilliant physicist Albert Einstein said the following: “Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet .” These clear words seem even more amazing when one considers that they were spoken at a time when people knew little about how the food on their plate affected their health or how it was connected to the environment, the world’s climate, world hunger, animal rights and human rights. If Albert Einstein had been familiar with current scientific evidence, surely his words would have been a bit different: “Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegan diet.” A vegan diet is one that contains no animal products.
