think about the effects the animal agriculture industry has on our planet? The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations has gathered that from a local to global scale, the livestock sector emerges every year as one of the top 2-3 most significant contributors to the most serious environmental problems. From air, to climate change, to land & soil, to biodiversity, the animal agriculture industry has an impact on virtually all aspects of the environment. Evidence has shown that the production
Despite that fact that most people believe that eating food produced by animals is essential and most beneficial to a person’s diet, the Vegan lifestyle proves to be extremely advantageous. Though the Vegan diet does provide multitudinous health benefits, the perks of the Vegan lifestyle extend far beyond just well-being. The effect on other animals, the environmental impact, and influence on world hunger validates that the Vegan diet is a viable option for a conscious and sustainable lifestyle. A Vegan

Animals have the right to equal consideration in regards to their being used for human needs since most people use animals for their own needs on a daily basis even if only indirectly whether to entertain us, or to attain the product we are using, or on our dinner plate. Vegans are vegetarians who also abstain from eating or using all animal products, including milk, cheese, other dairy items, eggs, honey, wool, silk, or leather. Although everyone is able to tailor their actions to fit their moral
Human beings have inhabited the Earth for virtually only a fraction of a second of the planet’s existence. In this regard, our presence seems miniscule and insignificant. However in this “blink of an eye”, we have brought extensive and unforgivable destruction to our planet. The problems we now face are complex and many: global warming, the pollution of air and water, species extinction, deforestation, water depletion, oceanic dead zones, chronic diseases, poverty, world hunger (and on the opposite
Animals have the right to equal consideration in regards to their being used for human needs as most people use animals for their own needs on a daily basis even if only indirectly whether to entertain us, or to attain the product we are using, or on our dinner plate. The controversy of the treatment of animals range from some activists and philosophers that are outspoken against animals being used by humans in any way for our own personal needs, while others are candid in their belief that animals
As the global population has reached over ten billion, there has been a growth in industrialization, a revolution in technology, and the evolvement of new concepts to create mass production. With this development comes positive and negative ideas on how to process the demand for different substances and how to be efficient economically and sufficiently. With factory farmed animals suffering unfair treatment, large quantities of animals are being abused and slaughtered. This can cause people to develop
Animal agriculture harms the environment, has dangerous effects on our health, and is morally wrong. Animal agriculture is the biggest threat to our environment. It is an immense waste of water. According to Dr. George Borgstrom, Chairman of Food Science and Human Nutrition Dept of College of Agriculture and Natural Resources at Michigan State University, it takes about 2,500 gallons of water to make just one beef burger. Water consumption from animal agriculture ranges from 34-76 trillion gallons
the flesh of another animal. Unlike vegans, vegetarians still will have dairy products though. There is much debate over this type of diet amongst people, as it is not the norm. Proponents of a meat-based diet sometimes claim that vegetarian diets are not healthy and lack the necessary nutrients a person needs to survive, which is in fact a myth. Additionally, since a meat-based diet is not the norm it is very difficult for people to imagine omitting meat entirely from their diets, mainly for convenience
