I've been a vegetarian for a long time. My goal is veganism, but it is hard to do - some days are easier than others. A vegan diet is best for our over-burdened planet.
Because of global warming, choosing a plant-food based diet is now a moral issue.
Here are two articles that explain:

"Global warming poses one of the most serious threats to the global environment ever faced in human history. Yet by focusing entirely on carbon dioxide emissions, major environmental organizations have failed to account for published data showing that other gases are the main culprits behind the global warming we see today. As a result, they are neglecting what might be the most effective strategy for reducing global warming in our lifetimes: advocating a vegetarian diet."

I'm asking myself, given that mostly people just do what they learned when they were little, is anyone working on teaching benefits of vegetarianism to youth?
PS: I wonder if the quoted guy's name really is "Noam Mohr" or if it's just as in "Noam Mohr meat!"
"is anyone working on teaching benefits of vegetarianism to youth?"
Doubtful. Nutrition materials are provided to schools by organizations such as the dairy council. An excellent book is "Appetite for Profit" by Michele Simon
