Do you know that eating meat is detrimental to society? Did you know that if all America was vegetarian, it could feed 600 million starving people (the population of India). Did you know that if the entire planet was vegetarian, it would end world hunger all together?
Why you ask? A cow eats more food than what it can give in return. About 20 lbs of grain goes into 1 lb of meat. We keep doing this, we're eventually going to run out resources! One could 20 broccoli plants in the space one cow takes up.
Did you know that the fertalizer used to grow animal feed for animals raised for food releases nitrous oxide? Ending factory farms completely, there'd be virtually no pollution.
Did you know that a vegan diet is MUCH more beneficial to the environment than driving a hybrid or recycling? Did you know that it takes 25 liters of water to produce on head of lettuce, but 2500 liters of water to produce 1 lb of meat?
Did you know that the gas it takes to produce just ONE hamburger can run a car 20 miles!? Did you know that the animal shit runs into our rivers and water supply, contaminating it?
Did you factory farms emit emit 60,000,000 tons of methane into the air per year?
It takes 54 calories of fossel fuel to make 1 calorie of beef, but only 2 calories of fossel fuel to make 1 calorie of corn and soybeans.
And finally:
Did you know that Vegetarians have a 20% lower rate of mortality? Vegetarians have lower blood pressure & cholesterol levels - high levels are associated with heart disease, strokes & kidney failure. 50% reduced risk of diabetes and 40% less chance of getting cancer. Also, a strict vegan diet has been proven to not only prevent cancer but completely cure it as well.
