26、ttle wooden frame house where she had lived and worked most of her life. It may seem like an ordinary end to a humble life, but there was something quite exceptional about this woman. In the summer of 1995, McCarty gave $150, 000, most of the money she had saved throughout her life, to the Universit
27、y of Southern Mississippi in her hometown. The money was to help other African Americans through university.

28、on anything but her most basic needs. Her bank also advised her on investing her hard-earned savings.

Every second in the United States alone, more than 250 animals are slaughtered for food, adding up to more than 8 billion animals each year. Reducing the amount of meat in ones diet is nutritionally, environmentally
37、, and ethically beneficial. People who eat meat usually have weaker immune systems compared to those of vegetarians.

38、e likely to die from these diseases. Critics say that a meatless diet does not provide enough nutrients, especially protein and iron.

40、t eaten. In fact, the opposite is true. More than 80% of the corn and 95% of the oats grown in the U. S. are fed to livestock. The worlds cattle alone consume enough food to equal the caloric needs of 8. 7 billion people, more than the entire human population. One half of the water used in the Unite
41、s States also goes to livestock; 2, 50 gallons of water produces only 1 lb. of beef. If people eat less meat and more plants, the amount of available food will increase. Many people become vegetarians because they feel that eating animals is unethical. 90% of these animals are raised in confinement.
42、 Chickens and other birds have only about half a square foot of space each, and since they are raised so close together, a lot blade is used to cut off their beaks to prevent them from pecking each other to death. Likewise, pigs that are repressed will bite each others tails, so both their teeth and
43、 tails are removed as soon as they are born. Eating animals is hazardous in numerous ways. Even a slight reduction in meat intake is better than nothing at all. Consuming less meat is beneficial to the health of animals, the health of people, and to the health of the world. 36 Why do some people bec
