According to experts at both Cornell and Harvard, the
optimal amount of meat in the healthy human diet is precisely zero. Today one billion people are hungry. 20 million people will die from malnutrition.
Cutting meat by 10% will feed 100 million people. Eliminating
meat will end starvation forever.
Currently, poor countries sell their grain to the West
while their own children starve in their arms.
The West feeds it to livestock so they can eat a steak. This is a crime! Every morsel of meat we eat is slapping the tear-stained
face of hungry child, and an act of violence to an innocent being. The Earth can produce enough for everyone’s
need, but not enough for everyone’s greed.
Water, as you know, is the new oil. Nations will be going to war for it. Underground aquifers that took millions of
years to fill are running dry. It takes
50,000 liters of precious drinking water to make one kilo of beef! Greenhouse gas emission from livestock is 50%
greater than transportation: cars, buses, trains, trucks, the whole lot. If everyone ate a western diet, we would need
two planet earths to fed us. We only
have one and she is dying!
