Factory farming is heartless and cruel. These poor animals that we devour for our so-called “lunch”, are cramped into small cages and then overfed. Cows are tied up in little corners, and are not allowed to move, so their muscle will be soft and not too fibrous. The chicken you eat is not an old one that passed away, but it is a newborn baby chick that is overfed and fattened to increase its body mass about 50% a day.

Plant based diets are cholesterol free, and you can still get all the protein, calcium and iron you need. 1 cup of boiled spinach will give you 5.4 grams of protein and 15.7 milligrams of iron. That's almost 40 times the amount of iron you’d get from a pan fried pork chop. You’ll get 4.6 grams of protein and 1.9 milligrams of iron from a cup of broccoli. Replacing meat, chicken and fish with vegetables and fruits is estimated to cut food bills by an average of $4,000 a
