JournalNow.com: Veggin' Out
Contrary to a popular stereotype, vegetarians are not all champions of self-denial, pathetically munching a sprout on the sidelines while watching the omnivores have all the culinary fun. Instead, the vegetarians we know love good food and know where to get it. They aren't about to settle for a bland meal, either at home or at a restaurant.

Hmm, I’ve never really considered the amount of water used in the mass production of meat. It reminds me of something I saw the other night in Richard Linklater’s fictional film version of Fast Food Nation. In one of many horrible scenes at a slaughterhouse, one worker was hosing rats off a concrete platform while his frightened co-worker watched. Given the number of rats that were power washed, it appeared that a large quantity of water was used. Imagine this little activity going on daily at hundreds of plants across the country. And it’s only a drop in the bucket (so to speak) when you look at overall water consumption in the industry.
