I just love too much animals 🐈 , can't eat them. I know I will probably die petting something I shouldn't. Here my green apple tart.

I believe that eating Animals is bad for your health and it is sad to see all those innocent creatures die. Being a Vegetarian can help lower your cholesterol and eating plants has more nutrients than eating meat. One Person, One Meat Less, One Earth. Today on 1/11 I have made this Vegetarian fried rice. I call it Spicy Garlic Egg Fried Rice. The ingredient is Rice, cut Garlic Chives, Cabbage, Egg, Cheese, and Spicy Powder. This dish have the Tzu Chi Symbol on it below is the number 111 representing Ethical Eating Day.

I think it is important to eat vegetarian (or vegan) and ethically in 2021 because it is cruel and anthropocentric to kill and eat animals who can't fight for themselves. By decreasing your meat intake you also lower your carbon footprint which can help resolve the climate crisis. By eating plant-based I feel more grounded and connected to the Earth.

I think it is important be a vegetarian in 2021 because when you eat meat, you kill animals which are very sad and bad. Animals do not deserve to be eaten. They will not live a good life because humans are eating them. Also, Vegetarians have a 24% lower risk of dying of heart disease.
Chloesse, California

I think it is important because since it is Covid-19 time, it is important we stay safe and healthy. Also, being a vegan can help you live longer like in Japan, I heard of a city with old people who lived past the age of 100 due to them being healthy vegans. Lastly, being vegan means you don't have to go to restaurants if you can just buy vegetables and fruits and it can help our economy.
Emma Chen, California

My daughter, my son and I made a vegan cake for my husband's birthday. Cocoa flavor cake using vegan butter and almond milk with chestnut puree and maple syrup, my husband, who is not a vegan eater, was shocked at how good the cake tastes. My kids are so proud and we decide to have more vegetarian food in this new year!
Melody, New Jersey

Keep healthy and have better and long life.

The heart of any religion should be kindness. We have to include kindness toward animals by moving to plant based diets. Also, a huge part of the damage we are doing to the environment is due to the use of animals in agriculture. .
Dave Walls, Virginia

If anyone is interested to save the world, this is really important not just for me but the entire human race. Turning to plant based diet is the easiest way anyone can do to save the world. Proud to be a Vegetarian since 2010. Best decision I made in my life. Cheers to all who made the same decision.
Rita Tan, Philippines

For our planet and all that is interconnected. To be true to my values of compassion and sustainability. To walk the talk. For the goats. The pigs. The cows. The web of life.
Adrienne, California

To actively participate in healing power to mother earth and my own body.
Corrina Allison, Monrovia

To create a better future for the next generation and focus on my personal health.
Anik Ghose, NYC

This is the social justice issue of our time! We can no longer pretend that we don't know the cruelty of using animal products. It is wonderful that we can make such a difference.
John Tyson, Massachusetts

Our lives have changed since the pandemic in 2020. The way I eat has changed too. It's more important than ever that we make healthy choices for our body and our environment in this new year. I've recently found many delicious vegetarian recipes through different cuisines, like this South Indian style golden beets and carrots with chapati 😋 It's actually not difficult to be vegetarian or even vegan!
Nancy, NYC

Because it's new year, it's never cliché or odd to put " Be Healthy" in the new year wishlist! Starting to exercise maybe sounds too hard, but let's try small step from "Eat well." Eating vegetarian doesn't mean I need to give up my favorite food or taste. On the other hand, I'm getting to know more food/ ingredients through various vegetarian recipes and learn more knowledges about how to have a healthy and balanced diet with these food, which make eating more fun!! Like my recent addition...BBQ tempeh!
Ching, NYC

I believe it's important to be vegetarian for our own health and to make a smaller environmental impact. My favorite food is this eggplant sushi I tried recently!
Garson Ormiston, NY

The way we choose to live our lives, down to the smallest details, can have huge impacts on our personal health and the health of our planet. To commit to eating more vegetarian foods and to think more mindfully about what we consume (for our health, climate, and economy) is not only the smart choice, but it's the right thing to do!
Dilber S, NYC

Health, Animals. There is no planet b! Vegan / vegetarian food is delicious. Like my recent addition...BBQ tempeh!.
Farrah, Netherlands

To save lifes, to save our home - this beautiful planet! ^^.
