Instead of Meat...
Consider substituting beans, eggs, and yogurt for some or
all of the meat in your diet. It's better for you and for the

...requires up to 2500 gallons of water
...emits polluting gasses equal to a 25-mile car drive
...uses 11 times more fuel than producing a pound of
soybean protein
