Do we (vegans and vegetarians) really make a difference in the end?

I have been wondering about this for awhile. There are many meat eaters in this world and from the way I see it, so few vegans and vegetarians. Do we REALLY reduce the killing of animals even though almost hundreds are slaughtered daily?

I believe we make a difference. Perhaps not int he number of cows right NOw, but the more ofus there are the more that big business wants to please us. The more products there are geared towards us on store shelves the more awareness it brings to the average shopper. The more people there are tht are educating others on the health and cruelty aspects of why we don't eat animal products the more people might join the cause. The more of us there are that push to make change the more people will be willing to accomodate that change. Being vegan has become a lot more popular these days than it was twenty years ago. The more popular it becomes the more change will happen. And you are DEFINITELY making a positive change in your health - guaranteed. Stick with it, kid. You are part of something very important and I believe that many generations from now people will look back on the days when humans butchered animals for food as days of barabism and stupidity (you know, because animal protein causes cancer and heart disease and all that nasty stuff and yet people keep eating it, duh).
