If you've taken every opportunity to eat, drink and be merry over the festive season, and you've had your fill of Christmas indulgence, you are probably considering making some New Year's resolutions. Why not put going veggie top of the list?
The average meat-eater will consume around 2000 animals in his or her lifetime. Think how many lives you could save if you stopped eating them! You will also improve your own life, as vegetarians have been shown to have lower overall mortality, lower risk of heart disease and lower rates of obesity than meat-eaters.
Going veggie is much easier than you think. Send for a free Go Veggie pack, full of delicious and nutritious recipes, tips and advice. Ring Animal Aid's hotline on 01732 354032 or visit www.animalaid.org.uk
