Meat Eating = Wasting Water

Bathing beauty makes a splash in Scotland

Nearly nude professional model -- and vegetarian -- Megan Currie sudsed up in a tub in Edinburgh, Scotland for World Water Week while policymakers met in Sweden to discuss global water issues.

The bathing beauty informed passersby that it takes the equivalent of 50 of water to produce just one steak.

"Not only does the meat industry inflict cruelty, it also wastes huge amounts of water and damages the planet," says Megan. "You can't eat meat and be an environmentalist."

PETA: "Green means vegan" because "1 lb. of meat = 6 months of showers."

A recent U.N. report calls the livestock industry "a key player in increasing water use" and "probably the largest sectoral source of water pollution."

On top of that, billions of animals raised for food each year endure routine abuse on crowded, filthy factory farms, where they are subjected to brutality and painful mutilations before being sent to slaughter and butchered while still conscious.

Help fight the worldwide freshwater shortage and save up to 100 animals per year by going vegan today.
