Why Veg
Albert Einstein once said, "Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet."
Although Einstein uttered the statement more than half a century ago, the truth of words is evident now more than ever. A close look at the facts shows that the world's biggest problems — disease, hunger, and environmental destruction — are closely linked to the practice of raising animals for food. With obesity rates at an all-time high and our natural resources dwindling away, the arguments for plant-based eating are hard to ignore.

Animals raised for food account for more than 98% of all animals abused and killed by humans. One million animals are slaughtered every hour in the US alone (10+ billion a year in the US, 56+ billion globally).

Animal agriculture (meat, dairy, and eggs) is the primary cause of human-caused greenhouse gases, more than all transport combined. It is also a top cause of pollution, and resource/depletion.
Protect the environment. |

Animals are inefficient converters of food, eating much more food than they create. This not only results in a net loss of calories and protein, it increases the prices of basic food staples for the world's poor.
Reduce global hunger. |
