Anyone who still says the word ‘mofo’ needs to take a long walk off a short pier.
Reasons why…
You can’t call yourself an avid environmentalist and be non-vegan:
- The consumption of animal products contributes to more than one-quarter of the water footprint of humanity
- More than 12,000 liters of water are used to produce 1 kilogram of beef while it’s only 850 liters per kilogram of wheat
- The leading source of deforestation is animal agriculture - up to 80% of all deforestation can be attributed to it
- The most prominent source of CO2 emissions - more than every type of transportation combined - is animal agriculture
- Dairy cattle, pigs, chickens and other farm animals play a huge role in severe land and water degradation
- It takes 16 lbs of grain to produce 1 lb of meat, with more than 70% of the grains and cereals grown in the U.S. going to feed animals
- Grass-fed, free-range beef is actually more damaging for the environment
- Over 85% of the world’s soybean crops are used for livestock rather than human consumption
- Giving up animal products is more environmentally efficient than basically any “eco-friendly” act you can think of
- Factory farms are destroying our air quality
- It takes about 14 calories of fossil-fuel energy to produce one calorie of milk protein on a conventional farm. By comparison, it takes about 0.26 calories of fossil fuel to make a calorie of organic soybeans.
Take the United Nations’ advice and go vegan.

We owe the animals our profoundest apologies. Defenceless and unable to retaliate, they have suffered immense agonies under our domination that most of us have never witnessed or acknowledged.
Now, knowing better, we can act better, we can live better, and give the animals, our children, and ourselves a true reason for hope and celebration.
