I've been telling people this for years. Eating veg. does save money. It also...
- helps the environment as meat industry uses lots of fossil fuels
- makes you healthier, (even if you don't go completely veg.)
- makes meals easier to prepare, (no defrosting necessary)
- gives less chance of getting things like salmonella
- prevents cruelty to animals because meat is a slaughtered animal after all, killing can never be humane.
- makes decisions at a restaurant easier (due to fewer choices)
