10 REASONS TO BE A VEGAN 

10個吃素的理由
Ten Reasons to Be a Vegan:

1. 動物： 光是美國，每年就有上百億隻動物被屠宰。平均每天55,000,000隻 ；每小時超過2,000,000隻；每分鐘超過28,000隻。「轉純素」您每年平均可解放198條生命。
1. ANIMALS
Tens of billions of animals are being slaughtered in America alone each year, that is over 55 million animals per day, over 2 million per hour and over 28 thousand per minute. Go vegan and spare around 198 lives a year.

2. 健康： 純素飲食可預防、治療、逆轉心臟病，並可降低罹患癌症、糖尿病及高血壓的風險。
2. HEALTH
A vegan diet prevents, treats and reverses heart disease, reduce the risk of cancer, diabetes and high blood pressure.

3. 環境： 肉食並不環保。飼養家畜所排放的二氧化碳佔全球的9%；甲烷排放量佔全球的40%；一氧化二氮排放量佔全球的65%。
3. ENVIRONMENT
Meat is not green. Livestock account for an estimated 9% of global carbon-dioxide emissions, 40% of global methane emissions and 65% of global Nitrous Oxide emissions.

4. 人類： 依照熱量需求，全世界的牛所吃掉的食物足以養活87億人口，全球人口還不足87億呢！越多人轉純素，就越有機會幫助到饑餓人口。
4. PEOPLE
The world’s cattle alone consume a quantity of food equal to the calorie need of 8.7 billion people, that’s more than the entire human population on earth. The more people go vegan, the more hungry we can feed.

5. 土地： 同一塊地能生產20位純素者所需的食物，卻只能生產給1位肉食者。全球有30%的地塊被拿來飼養食用動物，該面積大約有亞洲這麼大！
5. LAND
The same amount of land produces enough food to feed 20 vegans or 1 meat eater. 30% of the earth’s land mass is dedicated to raising animals for food, that’s about the size of Asia.

6. 水資源： 全球有將近60%的水被拿來飼養食用動物——生產1磅的小麥耗水95公升； 生產1磅雞肉耗水3089公升；生產1磅豬肉耗水6178公升；而生產1磅牛肉竟要耗水18,950公升！
6. WATER
Nearly 60% of all water used goes to raising animals for food. It takes 25 gallons to produce a pound of wheat, 815 gallons to produce 1 pound of chicken, 1630 gallons to produce 1 pound of pork and a staggering 5000 gallons to produce 1 pound of beef.

7. 活力： 均衡的純素飲食不會有動物性食品膽固醇過高、造成動脈阻塞的問題。全穀類、豆類、水果、蔬菜都含有豐富的複合碳水化合物，能幫助補充體力，讓您精力充沛。
7. ENERGY
Balanced vegan diets are naturally free of cholesterol laden and artery clogging animal products.
8. 美容： 少了動物脂肪，體重自然下降，對皮膚也有淨化作用。純素飲食對健康、皮膚、頭髮和指甲都有直接幫助，何不儘早擁有水亮肌膚和閃亮秀髮呢？
8 BEAUTY
With no animal fat, weight goes down naturally and skin gets cleansed. Vegan diet has a direct effect on the health and appearance of skin, hair and nails, so why not aim for glowing skin and glistening hair?

9. 毒素： 能避開有毒的化學物質——將近95%的殺蟲劑殘留在肉食者的典型食品中，包含肉、魚和乳製品。魚類含有致癌物質和重金屬；肉品和乳製品則添加類固醇和荷爾蒙。
9. TOXIC
Avoid toxic chemicals— nearly 95% of the pesticide residue in the meat eater’s typical diet comes from meat, fish and dairy products. Fish contains carcinogens and heavy metals. Meat and dairy are fortified with steroids and hormones.

10. 探索： 將個人的飲食經驗擴展到另一個全新的領域。體驗新美食、發掘新口味； 多多嘗試、 盡情享受探索的樂趣！
10. DISCOVERY
Take your eating experience to a whole new level, experience new foods, discover new taste, experiment and enjoy!
