Avoiding the “Meaty” Ways

If you have been a non-vegetarian, meat eater since childhood, thinking of a diet beyond meat may be impossible as well as challenging. However, with the world turning towards a vegan and vegetarian diet, you too must be aspiring to adopt a diet beyond meat.

No meat for Green

If not, then probably the effects of eating meat on the environment may force you to choose another way.

• Do you know that carbon emissions caused by livestock rearing are 40 to 50 times more than that of growing crops and greens?
• Environmental Working Group estimates show that growing livestock feed in the USA requires around 167 million pounds of pesticides, 17 billion pounds of nitrogen fertilizer, and 149 million acres of crop land. Now you know the impact on the environment?
• Large amounts of soy meal, corn and other grains need to be fed to livestock for rearing. Did you know that cows consume around 16 pounds of vegetation for one pound of flesh? Why not feed this to the people? 800 people could otherwise be fed with this produce.
• You will be surprised to know that one hamburger consumes fossil fuel equivalent to driving a car almost 20 miles.
• About 80 percent of the corn and 95 percent of oats grown are fed to livestock.
