6. Help Reduce Famine

About 70% of all grain produced in USA is fed to animals raised for slaughter.

The 7 billion livestock animals consume 5 times as much grain as consumed directly by the American population.

These animals spend their entire lives in crates so small that they can& #39;t even turn around.

Unfortunately farmed animals are not protected from cruelty under the law in majority of places.

Our demand for meat means huge numbers of animals go through extreme cruelty

Rampant use of antibiotics have created "superbugs" - aggressive pathogens which are resistant to any antibiotics.

At our current rate, more people will die of diseases caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria than of cancer by 2050. This is a problem we cannot afford to ignore.

8. Save Money

Eating vegetables, grains and fruits in place of beef, chicken and fish we can cut down our food bills considerably (~3000 pounds a year on a family diet in Britain).

9. Prevent Outbreak of Pandemics

Most pandemics originate in animals.

The COVID-19 outbreak, for instance, is believed to have originated in a Chinese "wet market" that sold sea animals, live birds, and exotic animals for human consumption.
@parantapah
@mariawirth1

Much like swine flu, bird flu & SARS (which was also caused by a corona virus linked to a Chinese wet market), COVID-19 spread from animals to humans, starting with those who worked in or frequented the market.

This is yet another reason why we should avoid meat consumption.

What does Sanatan Dharma say on this topic can be best explained by the below shloka of Yajurveda - it says we shall have a friendly outlook towards not only human beings but all the living beings.

The purpose of this #thread is not to comment on people’s eating habits or prove one group superior than other but to give a shout for an academic discourse on the benefits of meat-free diet and stopping animal cruelty.
