Be a voice for animals in laboratories by using and sharing PETA's product testing stickers!
| Be a voice for animals in laboratories by using and sharing PETA's product testing stickers! |
Given the number of cruelty-free options out there, it's hard to believe that every year, hundreds of thousands of rabbits, rats, mice, guinea pigs, and other animals have chemicals smeared on their skin or in their eyes. They are poisoned and killed in archaic tests that attempt to evaluate the hazards of consumer products and their ingredients. It is now evident that tests on animals often do not predict outcomes in humans, and many non-animal test methods are available and continue to be developed.
During World Week for Animals in Laboratories, compassionate people around the world come together to devote their time and energy to stopping animal experimentation. As this week draws to a close, you can help animals by getting involved in one of PETA's lifesaving campaigns against experimenting on animals for household and beauty products.
For today's Daily Action, on behalf of animals in laboratories, let everyone know what really goes into every bottle of animal-tested dish soap, mascara, and laundry detergent by labeling the products yourself with our new stickers.

With PETA’s handy new card, you can quickly let people know how easy it is to get protein from plant-based sources. There’s no need to eat animal products to be healthy—in fact, plant-based protein sources contain healthy fiber and complex carbohydrates, unlike animal protein. Easy!

The cattle industry doesn't want us thinking about the food we eat.
For the first time, the USDA has asked Americans to think about the environmental impact of the food we eat. Unsurprisingly, the cattle industry doesn't like it one bit.
A diet heavy in red meat is unsustainable -- and raising cows produces five times more greenhouse gasses than other animals raised for meat. This doesn't mean that we should never have a steak again. But eating red meat every single day, like the cattle lobby wants us to, just isn't a responsible choice. That, together with health considerations, is why the USDA is asking us to reduce our beef consumption.
Industry insiders are lobbying hard to change the USDA's advice. But we can put a stop to corporate influence by submitting comments to the USDA and showing that there's widespread support for its new dietary guidelines.
Let the science speak for itself! Submit a comment to the USDA demanding that it keep its recommendation for us to consume less meat.
Cows use 28 times more land and 11 times more water than other animals to produce the same amount of meat. Livestock production crowds out biodiversity, pollutes our water and hastens species extinction -- and runoff from cattle lots can contaminate crops and destroy aquatic ecosystems. The cattle industry is also the country's biggest user of antibiotics. And how many e. coli outbreaks do we need to show us the problems with centralized stockyards?
The cattle lobby is powerful, and it's planning an all-out offensive to stop the USDA adopting these recommendations.
We've got to act fast: the USDA is accepting comments on its Dietary Guidelines until May 8. If hundreds of thousands of us submit comments supporting the USDA's stance, we can stop the cattle lobby from blocking action on climate change.
And USDA recommendations matter -- the guidelines are used to set food policy in schools and other big institutions, which in turn influences the behaviour of big food suppliers. And they're only updated once every five years.
Hundreds of thousands SumOfUs members have taken action to protect our food system from corporate control. Last year, we delivered over 170,000 signatures to Monsanto calling on the food giant to be transparent about the risks of GMOs. Tens of thousands of SumOfUs members chipped in to support Vermont in its legal battle with Monsanto for the right to label GMO products, and we continue to hold giant agribusiness accountable for terrorizing farmers in Guatemala, Mexico, India and around the world.
Don't let cattle industry cover up how beef impacts climate change -- submit a comment to the USDA now.

THE 'VEGAN PRINCE' TIM SHIEFF SAYS VEGANISM MADE HIM 'SICK'
"However, the whole 'vegan diet' thing ... well, it’s working out OK for this guy named Tom Brady. So it’s probably not an issue if Kaepernick isn’t running around with spare ribs hanging out of his mouth." https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-teams-reportedly-consider-colin-kaepernicks-vegan-diet-a-red-flag/

17,003 Consecutive Pushups: World Record Held By Vegetarian
US Marine Corps Captain Alan Jones of Quantico, Virginia was struck by polio when he was five years old. Now a vegetarian, Alan could be the fittest man on Earth by amassing a record of physical accomplishments unmatched by any human that ever lived. He holds the world record for continuous sit-ups (17,003 times). In a 15-months period, he accomplished possibly the most remarkable array of physical achievements ever attained by a human being:
*
Lifted a 75-pound barbell over his head 1,600 times in 19 hours.
*
Made 3,800 basketball free throws in 12 hours, with 96 pc hit rate.
*
Swam 500 miles in 11 days, down a river to the ocean.
*
Skipped rope 43,000 times in 5 hours.

Skipped rope 100,000 times in 23 hours.
*
Swam 68 miles in a swimming pool without a sleeping break.

Performed 51,000 sit-ups in 76 hours.

You might not expect to find a vegetarian in world championship body-building competitions. But Andreas Cahling, the Swedish body builder who won the 1980 Mr. International title, is a vegetarian, as has been for over ten years of highest level international competition. One magazine reported that Cahling's "showings at the Mr. Universe competitions, and at the professional body-building world championships, give insiders the feeling he may be the next Arnold Schwarzenegger."
Another fellow who is not exactly a weakling is Stan Price. He holds the world record for the bench press in his weight class. Stan Price is a vegetarian. Roy Hilligan is another gentleman in whose face you probably wouldn't want to kick sand. Among his many titles is the coveted Mr. America crown. Roy Hilligan is a vegetarian.

The Rise and Fall of the Protein Empire
Not all authorities agree on a precise figure for our daily needs of protein, but their calculations do fall within a specific range. It is a range that runs from a low estimate of two and a half percent of our total daily calories up to a high estimate of over eight percent. The figures at the high end end include built-in safety margins, and are not "minimum" allowances, but rather "recommended" allowances.
If we ate nothing but wheat (which is 17% protein), or oatmeal (15%), or pumpkin (15%0, we could easily have more than enough protein. If we ate nothing but cabbage (22%), we'd have over double the maximum we might need.
In fact, if we ate nothing but the lowly potato (11% protein) we would still be getting enough protein. This fact does not mean potatoes are a particularly high protein source. They are not. Almost all plant foods provide more. What it does show, however, is just how low our protein needs really are.
There have been occasions in which people have been forced to satisfy their entire nutritional needs with potatoes and water alone. Individuals who have lived for lengthy periods of time under those conditions showed no signs whatsoever of protein deficiency, though other vitamin deficiencies have occurred.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, the virtual symbol of male muscular development, says in his book, Arnold's Body Building for Men:
"Kids nowadays...tend to go overboard when they discover body building and eat diets consisting of 50 to 70% protein--something I believe to be totally unnecessary... (In) my formula for basic good eating: eat about one gram of protein for every two pounds of body weight."

Vegans, he noted, need to supplement their diet with extra nutrients, unless they're living in an environment that is very high in minerals. Wallach argued that cholesterol is an essential nutrient, and not actually the source of problems. But the statin drugs that are prescribed to millions cause a variety of diseases and disorders including Alzheimer's and hormonal imbalances, he remarked.
