In Arizona, Green Is the New Orange
Following
the announcement that Maricopa
County jails will be ditching meat in favor of healthier meals, PETA staffers stood up and
applauded (with one of those slow, dramatic claps that gets everyone’s
attention). Not only will the county’s inmates reap the health benefits of
going vegetarian, its taxpayers will also save $100,000. That, my sirs and
mesdames, is no chump change!
PETA was so excited by Maricopa’s move that we dashed off a letter to Charles Ryan,
the director of the Arizona Department of Corrections (ADC), and asked him to
take it a step further and institute a plant-based diet in all prisons in the
state. And to sweeten the deal, we offered to pay for a vegan chef to plan the
menus!
If
the ADC accepts our offer, not only will it be able to make the bold—and
completely truthful—claim that it’s saving animal lives, it will also help keep
its prisoners and its coffers healthy, too.
It’s
simple: Lentils, beans, rice, pasta, potatoes, and
other plant-based staples cost far less than meat, which is harder to transport
and store. And vegetarians
are generally healthier than meat-eaters: According to the Academy of Nutrition
and Dietetics, vegetarians are less prone to heart disease, cancer, obesity,
and diabetes than their meat-eating counterparts. Not only will the ADC save
money on food, it will save money on health-related costs as well.
Take a Cue From the Maricopa Jails and
Release Animals From Theirs
Although
they’ve committed no crime, animals on factory farms are treated worse than most
human inmates. They’re confined to filthy cages, warehouses, and sheds, and
most never see the sun, breathe fresh air, or feel grass under their feet
before they’re transported to slaughter.
Stop
this pain and torture and save your health. Go vegan today!
