Save the World, be a vegetarian!
Posted on Mar 19, 2009 under Vegetarianism | 17 Comments Vegetarianism
Scientific facts corroborate, anyone easily become environmentalist. Join the populous camp of vegetarians!
- Will I be healthy?
- Yes!
Comparing with meat consumers, chance of vegetarians for different diseases of vascular and digest systems or high blood pressure are 30-70% less.
- Is it possible to produce all needful foodstuffs on a smaller field?
- Yes!
On 1.5 hectares you can produce food requirements for only one meat consumer, meanwhile six lacto-vegetarians could be fed from the same size of land.
- Can I reduce the rate of rain forests deforestation?
- Yes!
Stock farming needs pasture and cropland, therefore deforestation is continuous worldwide. For example thanks to beef stock breeding huge rain forests of South America became waste lands. Size of Central America’s forests decreased three-quarters during 25 years.
Each person who shifts to vegetarian diet saves 0.5 hectare forest per year.
- Can I reduce global climate change?
- Yes!
Meat consumers serving animal husbandry emits more greenhouse gas than the whole transport sector together.
- Can I help to slow down decrease of World’s drink water resources?
- Yes!
Because the water requirement of forage production a meat consumer indirectly uses twelve times and a lacto-vegetarian uses four times more water as a vegan (strictly vegetarian).

Yes, being a vegetarian is a good thing. People who are vegetarian in my opinion are healthier than people who just eat different kinds of food.
