G is for Go Vegetarian Once A Week

G is for Go Vegetarian Once A Week

One less meat-based meal a week helps the planet and your diet. For example: It requires 2,500 gallons of water to produce one pound of beef. For each hamburger that originated from animals raised on rain-forest land, approximately 55 square feet of forest have been destroyed. Top 10 reasons to go vegetarian.

Search through our archives of over 400 vegetarian recipes, and start a meat-free Monday tradition.

It's easy to be pescatarian/lacto-ovo vegetarian 3 or 4 days a week....and I can't digest legumes, nuts, seeds or grains.
if you can...then it would be even easier for you.
