Message: BookShare: "The Fast Food CRAZE" by Tina Volpe

"The Fast Food CRAZE"
http://www.fastfoodcraze.com/index.aspx

The Book:

The Fast Food Craze educates readers about the underhanded advertising schemes of the fast food giants and how the worthless food they serve is destroying our health and making our children seriously ill.

It is an eye-opening description of factory farming and the barbaric treatment of animals raised for food. Tina Volpe offers insight into the intelligence and personalities of these creatures when living in a natural environment. Learn about animals escaping from slaughterhouses, a pig who saves lives and an honest (and enlightening) look into the food industry. The Fast Food Craze a must-read for anyone interested in staying healthy and compassion for all animals.

"This book has obviously been a labor of love. The Fast Food Craze is chock full of hard hitting facts, a solid plea for commonsence at the table or drive-in."
-- Ingrid Newkirk, Author and co-founder of PETA

The author:

Tina Volpe was raised in Lake View Terrace, California, a northern horsy suburb of Los Angeles. As a child, Volpe's home included many farm animals, most of which were eventually slaughtered for food for the family. This birth-life-death cycle had a huge affect on the author due to the love and friendship she felt with these creatures who, once living a comfortable life, were later served at the dinner table.

As a result of her love for, and interaction with, animals, Volpe became a vegetarian nearly three decades ago. Over the past five years, she has been studying the farm industry and the affects its business decisions and resulting procedures have on animals. Volpe also realized that the fast food giants are a large cause of this suffering due to the demands of mass production. This research convinced her that while advocacy groups have made advances in informing the public about farm industry cruelty, that more efforts are needed because animals are still suffering at the hand of businesses.

Tina Volpe is a health researcher, 32 year vegetarian, author, speaker, educator, television host, radio host, consultant and published columnist. Also, she is a member of, and has made contributions to the many organizations that promote animal rights. She lives in Northern Arizona.

Why be a veggie?

GLOBAL WARMING.... READ THIS!
-from GoVeg.com
According to University of Chicago researchers, adopting a vegan diet makes a bigger impact in reducing global warming than does switching to a Toyota Prius hybrid car.

Global warming has been called humankind's “greatest challenge” and the world's most grave environmental threat. Human activities are causing large amounts of “greenhouse gases” (gases that prevent heat from escaping from the Earth's atmosphere) in the atmosphere. This then causes the air around the Earth to become hotter, which scientists say will increasingly lead to catastrophic natural disasters, such as more frequent and intense hurricanes, flooding, and drought. Many people are trying to help reduce global warming by driving more fuel-efficient cars and using less electricity, but by far, the most effective thing that you can do to fight global warming is to go vegetarian (http://goveg.com/order.asp)

The billions of chickens, turkeys, pigs, and cows who are crammed into factory farms each year in the U.S. produce enormous amounts of methane, both in their digestive processes and from the feces that they excrete. Scientists report that every molecule of methane is more than 20 times as effective as carbon dioxide is at trapping heat in our atmosphere. Statistics from the Environmental Protection Agency show that animal agriculture is the single largest cause of methane emissions in the U.S. Raising animals for food is causing global warming.
