<p class="subtext">
<span class="subtext">For the Planet</span>
<ol class="subtext">
<li> Raising animals for food generates more greenhouse gases than cars & trucks.</li>
<li> 80% of ammonia emissions in the U.S. come from animal waste.</li>
<li> Farm animals produce 130 times more waste than humans in the United States. </li>
<li> The #1 source of pollution in our waterways comes from agricultural runoff. Farm animals eat 70% of all the grain in the United States. </li>
<li> It takes 2400 gallons of water to produce 1 pound of cow flesh vs. 180 gallons of water to make 1 pound of whole wheat flour. Farm animals are the primary consumers of water in the United States. </li>
</ol>
</p>
<p class="subtext">
<span class="subtext">For the Animals</span>
<ol class="subtext">
<li> Farm animals are affectionate, playful, intelligent, and unique individuals. </li>
<li> Farm animals feel pain and suffer in the same way as dogs and cats. </li>
<li> About 10 billion land animals are slaughtered every year in the USA for food.</li>
<li> Pigs have higher cognitive abilities than 3 years olds.</li>
<li> Factory farms treat animals as commodities: Animals are burned, castrated, mutilated, and violently killed without anesthesia.</li>
</ol>

<ol class="subtext">
<li> Vegetarians are 25-50% less likely to suffer from cancer.</li>
<li> Meat eaters are 9 times more likely to be obese than vegans.</li>
<li> Vegetarian diets help prevent heart disease. </li>
<li> Vegan foods provide us with all the nutrients that we need, including protein. </li>
