Go Vegan.. For Your Health As well as being kinder to animals and the planet, eating vegan can also have numerous benefits for your health. The science is clear that following a plant-based diet is associated with a lower risk of illnesses including heart disease, cancer, and other serious diseases. Rich in nutrients and significantly lower in saturated fat than animal products, a vegan diet can also boost your immune system, reduce inflammation, and help you maintain a healthy body weight. And, it’s our collective health at stake, too: the United Nations warns that global demand for meat consumption, and intensive animal farming, are among the seven major factors responsible for the increasing threat of new animal-to-human diseases, such as COVID-19, Ebola, and MERS.
Go Vegan... For the Environment Our planet is currently facing huge environmental threats, and animal agriculture massively contributes to this. Farming animals for food plays a huge role in land and water degradation, deforestation, and biodiversity loss, and is responsible for more greenhouse gases than the world’s transportation systems combined. A global shift towards a vegan diet is necessary to combat the worst effects of climate change, according to the United Nations, and research from the University of Oxford shows that going vegan is the “single biggest way” to reduce your impact on the planet.
Go Vegan... For the Animals Most people believe that the animals we eat experience long, happy lives and painless deaths - but this is far from the truth. Most land animals such as cows, pigs, and chickens spend their entire lives suffering on factory farms, where they are kept in dark, cramped, and disease-ridden conditions. Once the animals reach ‘slaughter-weight’ - which is a fraction of their natural lifespan - they are piled into trucks and driven for hours without food or water, in all weather conditions, to the slaughterhouse. Slaughterhouses are never quiet, painless places. Animals fight and scream for their lives; most have their throats slit, often while they are conscious, and some animals are still alive when they’re skinned, or de-feathered in boiling hot water. Most of these individuals are no more than a few months old. Every day, more than 200 million land animals and three billion aquatic animals are killed for food around the world. But by choosing to eat vega...
