One Meal at a Time
 You’re in the home stretch! We hope you’re having fun – and that you’re proud of yourself for making it to day five. We’re sending you a big round of encouragement for the next few days. Remember, every effort you make, big or small, counts as a success. If you get a little off-track, just get back on track the next meal. We know you can do it!
Ready Yvonne’s story for inspiration. »

Meat industry workers endure hazardous work conditions such as higher exposure to disease and inhalation of toxic fumes, and the companies employing them often crush union organizing efforts. Farm worker advocate Cesar Chavez was a vegetarian as were Mahatma Gandhi, Rosa Parks, and Coretta Scott King.

But Fish Is Okay, Right?
 Much of the biodiversity of the oceans has been depleted by overfishing. Commercial fishers use sonar, spotting planes, and miles-long fishing nets to trap tens of thousands of animals in one “pull” – often catching countless “non-target” animals, including seals, whales, dolphins, sea turtles, and birds, who become entangled in the nets and die.
But farmed fish is no better than wild-caught. Aquaculture farms cram thousands of fish in shallow, overcrowded troughs and dump waste, pesticides, and other chemicals directly into ecologically fragile coastal waters, destroying local eco-systems. And while fish may look and act differently than cats and dogs, the science is clear: fish lead complex lives, express fear, and can feel pain.
