Factory Farm Presentation

Nick Cooney came to our class today, and gave some tough facts about what the "American diet" means. He talked of the torture, inhumane treatment and production of animals to maintain this carnivorous diet in the US. I found many of his facts shocking and maybe even a little far fetched, however his entire presentation really made me want to start considering a vegetarian diet of my own. I found the most interesting fact he presented was, 1 vegetarian saves about 3,500 animals. I'm not sure if that's a year, or a life time, but either way that amount is staggering to me. These kind of facts are the only facts, for me to ever consider being a vegetarian.
