By making compassionate food choices, we have the power to create a more humane and healthy world. We can all aim to reduce the consumption of animal products; refine our diets by cutting out foods created in the worst production systems and replace animal products with plant-based alternatives.
More than 80 billion land animals are killed for food globally every year - often enduring unfulfilling lives of suffering - plus an untold number of aquatic animals. Livestock production is a lead contributor to manmade greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs), water shortage and other environmental problems. Experts agree that reducing global consumption of animal products is vital for tackling catastrophic climate change. Eating fewer animal products (meat, eggs and dairy) can also help prevent heart disease and some types of cancers. It's clear that eating kind is better for your health, the welfare of animals and the planet!
