EAT KIND
http://www.eatkind.net/index.html
Eatkind.net is here to help you balance your diet with:
compassion for family farmers, the world's hungry and our fellow animals; sustainability -- to preserve the planet and its finite resources;
wholesome nutrition to be kind to the body that brung you.
We believe ethical eating is an indispensable component of ethical consumerism.
The Elements of Ethical Eating
COMPASSION
Modern farming is a brutal business. Neither family farmers, food workers nor farm animals fare well within today's industrial agricultural system. In particular, the grossly wasteful use of the planet's finite natural resources to produce ever-increasing quantities of meat, fish, dairy and eggs threatens to increase, not decrease, hunger and starvation among the world's roughly one billion malnourished poor. By following a diet that emphasizes efficiently and sustainably produced plant foods and that limits or eliminates factory farmed animal foods, we can create a win-win-win situation for all people, animals and the planet itself.
SUSTAINABILITY
The industrialization of food production has created the illusion of cheap food. Low prices at the checkout counter and prosperity for food- and agricultural corporations have come at a price: an unsustainable assault on arable land, fresh water and clean air. Increasingly, independent scientists are joining environmentalists in calling for a return to sustainable, organic farming practices.
NUTRITION
Call it poetic justice, but the more compassionate and sustainable farming is, the more nutritious and healthful the food is. Animals that are neither confined nor fed a diet unnatural to their species produce more nutritious meat, milk and eggs. Protein from beans, whole grains, nuts and seeds appears to be the most nutritious and healthful of all.
