How can eating a vegan diet help the planet?
According to John Robbins (son of the famed ice cream mogels and author of many NY Times bestsellers, including Diet for a New America and Diet for a New World), “it takes sixteen pounds of grain to make one pound of feedlot beef. It takes only one pound of grain to produce a pound of bread.” Mr. Robbins continues by stating, “if Americans reduced their meat consumption by 10 percent, enough grain would be saved to feed sixty million people.” Additionally, the waste products from cows are causing numerous problems in the way of stream run off, manure pile ups, methane gases, and other environmentally hazardous conditions.
