Let them eat vegetables
Why you need a personal vegetarian
Introducing a novel moral idea: paying someone to be vegetarian for you. Why do this?
Because having a personal vegetarian will make you a more ethical person.
Reduce greenhouse gas
For every one pound of hamburger your vegetarian avoids, you save the equivalent of 3 weeks of driving. 14% of the world's CO2 emissions are created by livestock[1]. For each vegetarian we create on your behalf, that person's dietary over 660 kg of greenhouse gas emissions are prevented[2].
Reduce water and land use
A vegetarian diet requires 320,800 less gallons of freshwater to produce annually[3]. Why not enjoy a nice long shower with a clean conscience, knowing that your personal vegetarian will make up the difference?
Prevent animal suffering
For every vegetarian-year you purchase, you will prevent the death of over 200 animals. 1/8th of a cow, 1/3rd of a pig, 5/6th of a turkey, 25.5 chickens, 43 fin-fish, and 137 shellfish (shrimp, oysters, etc).
Help your vegetarian financially
Although we do not pay the vegetarians we convert for you, meat is a major household expense, so by creating one you are saving this person money during these uncertain economic times.
Let the world know how ethical you are
Every order, including gift orders, includes an optional verification page you can share on social media, explaining what a good person you are.
