STEAK NIGHT eating meat, it tastes sooooo GOOD! This is how good it tastes: -Studies indicate that a varied vegan diet requires about a third of the land needed for conventional Western diets. Quite simply, we do not have enough land to feed everyone on an animal-based diet. -Overgrazing is blamed for 35 per cent of soil degradation, deforestation for 30 per cent and agriculture for 27 per cent. These main causes are directly or indirectly related to the consumption of animal products. -The expansion of agricultural land accounts for more than 60 per cent of worldwide deforestation. Most of this land is used to graze beef cattle. -The wholesale destruction of forest environments to provide grazing land for cattle and to grow feed for livestock contributes direct to loss of biodiversity. -Although statistics vary, it is safe to say that it takes at least three times the amount of water to feed a meat eater compared with that used to feed a vegan. -By stopping eating fish – be it farmed or wild-caught – we can reverse the destruction of ocean environments. -The livestock sector is a major player, responsible for 18 percent of greenhouse gas emissions measured in CO2 equivalent. This is a higher share than transport. -The consumption of animal products contributes to global warming, pollution, water scarcity, land degradation, deforestation and loss of biodiversity – in other words, all the major environmental problems. and you call yourself a protecter of the earth or striving for equality, how can a person be free it they are not willing to grant the same liberties to ones they eat this, Vows Pigs hens and other so-called livestock.
