2) VEGETARIAN VIDEO SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS
Jerry is a winner of The Vegetarian Resource Group Video Contest. He stated:
I have always had a lot of respect and admiration toward vegetarians. But
it was not until recently, I considered vegetarianism as part of my diet.
I have always been interested in vegetarianism due to its water conservation
and humane treatment of animals. But the cherry on top - the overwhelming
health benefits - is what really led me to my final decisions.
