Geeze....I don't eat meat cause I think it's gross, not because killing animals is wrong...didn't also know I was saving like an entire lake too!

i don't eat meat, so.. i'm glad i'm making some kind of impact : )

whoa....

Wow...that seems like a lot of gallons of water for not much...good thing i haven't eaten meat for nearly 2 years.

go vegs

yay veggies!

Wowww.....

I've been vegetarian for 5 years anyway so

i'm already totally vegan =]

that's awesome, being vegetarian makes even more of an impact than i thought.

I'm vegetarian, and I do try to conserve water ^^ apparently my water footprint is that of 223 cubic meter per year >.>. My new plan is to reduce it by the end of the year! ^^

It's annoying that people are just now realizing this...

T_____T

go us vegetarians!

wow.

is water a renewable sorce? that is gross if they try to make like poor little pigs and stuff fatter by putting water in them! what if cows were doing that to us!!!!jk!

Being a vegetarian makes no difference in your water/carbon footprint. If you're still consuming animal products, you're making no difference because ANIMALS ARE STILL BEING FED. http://www.nonviolenceunited.org/veganvideo.html <--Watch that. Some food for thought.

And I know I am in a way being hypocritical because I still eat animal products, but that's because I'm forced to.

Woah.

how can water be running low? it's not like it's leaving the planet or anything. Perhaps CLEAN water is lacking, but molecular-ly, water is still around in abundance.

We just have to find a way to not use so much water in the production of meat. Just because some people don’t eat meat, does not mean everyone will (although I personally don’t eat meat). We have to accommodate for everyone’s different tastes and help increase the world’s clean water supply through a cumulative effort.

one more point to shove in the faces of those who criticize people like me for being vegetarian without knowing me or even knowing my reasons.

I guess I have been helping out all along, and didnt even know it.

uhh deff going veg again then.

i dont eat meat cuz i think it's wrong to kill animals just to eat them
but i never knew it took that much water to eat meat

Wow i didn't know that, but i'm still going to eat beef.

I don't eat meat, so yay!!!
Everybody should go to aspringofhope.org to find out how the world water crisis is affecting underpriveliged children in South Africa.

im glad im a veggie then haha\

Wow.... I'm going to stop eating meat!

im not a veg. sorry i kinda sorta like to eat meat. but dont think i also do things to help the earth!

I buy my meat from a local butchers where it source of meat is local and isn't injected with water. =]

holy bajeezus.

i eat meat... but im planning for next month im going veg. im not eating meat today

this sounds like vegetarian propaganda. even though i'm a vegetarian....

go vegs(:

dude..... this is nuts!!! i dont eat much meat anyway but still...wow....

I love not eating dead stuff. =D

ahhhhh makes me becoming a vegan even more satisfying yay!! go vegans we can make a difference! Xx

Wow...
I'm glad i don't eat meat....

wow!

Im just like Rawr Face, meat grosses me out, thats why i dont eat it. Now I'm even more glad I dont =]

im a veggie head(:

to know how much water we could be saving, amazes me but also scares me... :/

i think people need to make better choices.

i'm so glad that i'm helping the environment by being vegan. yay !

i do eat meat. i love it.
but this just disgusts me.
i think i'm going to go puke up my chicken wings.

Urm.
I <3 my meat.
xD

Yeah, no one believes me when I tell them that..

Wooooo. ANOTHER good reason to be a vegetarian. I'm so glad I went vegetarian.(:

us veggies rock! and we didn't even know it... :p

I've got the "I told you so" complex now.

See, being a vegeterian isn't bad!

I'm glad I'm vegetarian.

<3 meat

I don't like meat anyway. I sometimes eat it, and I've never not eaten poltry, but this is making me think a bit more carefully about my diet ....

I belive God made animals for us to eat and survive.
-__-; Besides, we are trying to stop something that is Inevitable. The world WILL end like it or not.

i eat chicken and hamburger, thats it.
and its how i get my protein. and im aware that there are other ways of getting protein but this is the way i choose to get it.

GO VEG :]

so we can't eat food?

Wow! I don't eat meat b.c i think it's bad to hut animals.

Another possible argument I can use against people who think me being a vegetarian is stupid.

Dang, I sure am glad im a vegetarian

Desalination... but people are too stupid to think of that one.

The water on the earth occupies 70% of the planet, leaving land to occupy 30%.

"http://geography.about.com/library/faq/blqzearthwater.htm"

whoooooohooooooooooooo!
happy to be a vegggiee(:

Wow thats crazy. I still eat meat and this problem won't change from people being not eating it. The only way the problem will be solved is for the people on these farms to change the way they do things.

ashleynicole0610 is 100% rite, no matter if you eat meat or not, the animals are still going to be raised on a farm, ether for milk, meat, or one of the other 1000 uses.

Where does the fertilizer for all of your plants come from? Americas FARMS. Everything comes down to finding a balance. (not if you eat meat or not)

that's insane. hooray not eating meant! :]

wow ...I didn't Think that it would be like that...eating meat affects water..!

Veg4Life!!
=]

man, but even if we didnt eat meat,
there would be more meathane in the air from cows making the global footprint heavier
unless we made cows extinct,
which is why we should only eat free range food, and get rid of factory stuff,
they only use natural stuff making the best quality
GO FREE RANGE <3

I'm a vegetarian. Wooo! So happy that I'm making a diifference both ways! ^_^

Veggies!!! yayyyyy i'm veggie :] && will be one 4ever!! :]]]]]] whoo this is coool !!

well for one
im not a veg
but im starting
this monday cuz
i think its important
for everyone to do so
we are helping global
warming and animals=]

Just a thought here but all this talk of not "killing anything" or eating "dead things" or whatever and trying to be morally superior to everyone. Well last I time I checked plants ARE LIVING so when you cut them from their roots to be frozen or however else they come you are indeed killing them. It's just that they don't have a face & don't make sounds and people don't generally associate feelings with plants.

So you're really no better than those you criticize. Again just some thought food.

honestly, i respect vegetarians and conserving water but anything that lives consumes water. Fact of life. its not like it take 1500 gallons to kill a cow. it takes 1500 gallons to let a cow live so what are they really saying?

I don't eat meat, and I actually wrote an entire paper on this for language arts. People say us vegetarians are strange, but I think we're just ahead of the curve.

it's about time more people found out about this.
don't eat meat, they'll raise fewer animals for food, in turn using less water. it all makes sense.

props to this article. go veg.

o.O

Wow iam still trying my best to become vegetarian

wowzers..

This is why I don't eat meat. :]

Wow!

Going vegetarian saves animals lives, lowers pollution, and now I know it saves water. After knowing all of this, many people will want to make a difference. I am proud to say that I am a vegetarian! : )

been veg for 7 months!

I've been veggie since going to body words =S can't be doing with eating flesh xx

in dont eat meat! :] i made a difference!

not saying i like meat.(i think it's gross)
but being a vegetarian isn't always good for people.
it has necessary proteins, and sometimes stuff you can't get anywhere else.

so yes, gong veggie is good.

IF you're healthy.

i dont eat meat. [:
so i'm glad i'm kind of helping! [:

i dont eat meat.

hehe i get what this article is saying. but if everyone went vegan or vegetarian im sure it would take an obscene amount of water too increase vegetable production too. water is an essential component for a lot of things. i seriously doubt we are going to run out of the only element it is impossible to destroy. did we ever stop to think that maybe we are just too over-populated and the fact they we are running low on water is the worlds way of saying cut back on unnecessary BS like that pool in the backyard i know some of you have!! LOL. Not the water it takes to feed an animal that would be drinking that water regardless of it will be eaten in the future or not. (btw im vegetarian)

I love being a vegetarian :):)

this is confusing???

These are the days when I wish I liked a larger variety of veggies.

go vegetarian

im vegetarian to stop animal cruelty but it's good to know i'm helping stop this water crisis too

I really wish my mother would let me become a vegetarian ! ):

WOAH.

my god. oh like plants dont die when you eat them?! um yeah your killing them too. get over yourselves. i support meat eaters. dont try and get people to go veg. just because you think its cool which is what most of you do.

that makes me stop and think about what a world this has turned into

YAY for being Vegan

Vegetarian Right Here(:

I like how it looks like to cows smiling at you^^'

go veggies.

i just had a steak

go veggies.

whoah.

very interesting!!! thanks for the info.

good thing i'm a vegetarian ;]

This is just so much more lies and BS. I suggest you actually see the US government breakdown of water use. Anti-Meaters will stop at nothing to further their anti-human agenda. And those of you who buy into this propaganda are ignorant of the true facts. Go look into it off of Peta and vegan sites. You might learn something.

The only way water would actually be saved is if we all were vegetarian..

i don't eat meat.. ha ha

uhmmmmm woowww

i'm guilty of eating meat but i onlly eat chicken =x i know that's not perfect either eep sorryz

And that is why i'm a vegan. :]

but but but, meat is yummy!

Woah, that's insane!

ok then

no more starbucks for me then

oh well i'll get over the whole starbucks then
but don't ya'll have to WATER vegtables??
i'm just asking

wow this is insane

and this is why im a veg!

Interesting information, but I'm still eating meat sorry!

If you guys are so worried about wasting water, go complain to all of the water bottle industries.

http://www.flowthefilm.com/trailer

WOW, 1 latte uses 50 gallons of water, It is a good thing I only drink tea..Eating anything that has a heartbeat and a mother is disgusting and if people realized this we can save the earth!

Do me a favor and google Peta Ad. Tell me what you see.

Peta:
Where Only Women
Are Treated Like Meat

i should probably think twice about eating meat? im probably going vegetarian now! i really dont wanna die cause of stupid things like running out of water! plus i hate when people kill animals so i think ima stopp! while i can : D

im glad i decided to be vegetarian :]

Whether people eat meat or not your diet is till going to use up resources, land, pollute, and whatever people are worried about.

Kinda sounds like the people who say you can help end world hunger if everyone went veg. Which is a bunch of crap. Poverty is the first thing that needs to go before anyone can afford proper food, clean water, and other necessities that they struggle to get or live without.

i cant stand not eating meat...sry...i feel horrible now....but i recycle and stuff like that so i,m doing okay..HA smiling cow

Everyone realizes that animals will continue to consume these amounts even if we stop eating them, right?

Everyone realizes that if we stopped eating livestock, their numbers would increase so much, that they'd use nearly two times as much water, right?

Everyone realizes that our newly elected president's jet uses around 2,000 gallons of water every 3 days, right?

Well, since everyone knows all this, this article is sort of pointless, huh?

wait....how does it even help?! they still produce the same amount of meat they usually would right, even with all you vegheads? sry bout the name calling but still makes no sense

Whoa im glad i dnt eat meat :]

uhmmm well I don't eat meat so I guess I'm helping save the water =] and didn't even know it

I'm a vegetarian. =] It's good to know that i'm doing something good here.

wow, i just became a vegetarian recently, and this is such a shock for me

ehhh... i dont eat mean

im sorry but thats a load of bull to me...just cause of this doesnt mean im gonna stop eating meat.

I eat meat. I think cows drink water whatever they're raised for. I don't think we should blame this whole problem on cows.
Just like PETA's cut the crap campaign. Cows are gonna poop whatever they're raised for. PETA should cut the crap.

Yay vegheads : )

That's sick. Why would someone inject livestock with water to increase it's weight? That's horrible.
I'm glad I'm a vegetarian. =]

i dont eat meat, so i guess im saving some water and some animals

Yeah, I'm still going to eat meat.
And it's true that you have to water vegetables for them to grow.
I think we need to get people to recycle more.
That would be an easier way to save the world then getting everyone to become a vegetarian.

imma vegan

Oh wow...good thing I don't eat meat :].

i wanna eat no more meat

i disagree with maxii boii.

they still need to feed the animals water, yes.
during our daily lives we still use water, yes.

although, if more people become vegetarians they need to cut down the amount of livestock - which, cuts down on the water they use. since, people aren't buying enough meat products.

but also, being a vegetarian means more water to grow the crops that produce vegetables.

life needs water to survive. we can cut down, but we cannot fully eliminate what we use.

ever think of that ?

Oh Christ, now were not gonna be able to eat FOOD. Theres the same amount of water as when the earth began. Get over it.

WHOA THATS INSANE

IMMA VEGETARIAN

...and where do they get this information, anyway?

Quite some interesting numbers...

Yay! for being a vegetarian.

Woah.

even though this is a BIG reality check on how much water i'm wasting, i could never become a vegetarian. ):

I'm a vegetarian.
go me!

I went veggie for awhile, i missed meat. But now im totaly grossed out again. Injecting animals is totaly wrong, there should be a law against it!

Eating animals is one of the worst things anyone can do for the planet! Read more at http://www.peta2.com/meatsnotgreen

not bad so i have been saving world water supply for 9 years yay!

I'm vegetarian since a year and some months now and I'm glad it can have a good impact =)

oh and here's a handy little link to look at socialvibe if you have the chance (and anyone else who has more questions about being vegetarian and whatnot)
http://www.flex.com/~jai/articles/101.html

I don't eat meat.

I never realized how much water I was saving by being vegetarian. Sweet

YEAH! Go Vegetarian! I've been vegetarian for almost 3 years now. I feel great =]

i love, that by not eating meat we're helping save the planet's water supply. most of my friends dont think that i help the environment because im just ONE person, but just one person can help make a difference. Leonardo DiCaprio taught me that (:

Meat is so disgusting. Not eating it is better for more reasons than just saving water. But pick a reason and support it, ( :

welll im already a vegterian ahahah i think i spelled tht wrong welll anyways add me =D

i'm vegan.
and apparently my water footprint is 191 cubic metres per yr.

did youquys thinkk it was just gas ?
