Being Vegan doesn't only mean you are making a stand against the animal utilizing world we live in today, it also means that you are fighting for a greener planet...isn't that cool...YAY!!
Making a healthy stand for justice not only fights for your cause but it has a ripple effect on many more things. Take Veganism for example...
This is a fact we should all know but if you didn't I'll clue you in, here's some factual stat's -
It takes 9 463.52946 litres to make 0.45359237 kilograms of meat.
Big numbers huh!
The water that goes into making 0.45359237 kilograms of meat can keep afloat a small fast lightly armored but heavily armed warship (destroyer).
HECTIC!!!
So basically in a fancy way I'm trying to say that we are wasting a hec load of water on producing meat!
REASON 1 COMPLETE.
Another fact...
It takes 674.48 square metres to feed one person food that is not animal derived for a whole year, ok so how big is that actually? Well our well known South African rugby fields are 6800 square metres... so to roughly estimate it's about a 6th of the field...N.B...A WHOLE YEAR!!!Think of how many starving people we could feed, world hunger combated, woosh. And it can all happen by cutting down the numbers of cows we need for meat since they are taking up the land.
REASON 2 COMPLETE.
With in the whole cattle to shop meat movement ( if you don't know the process it goes like this ) -
Factory housing-------------------------BAD
Irrigation--------------------------------BAD
Trucking--------------------------------BAD
Refrigeration----------------------------BAD
As well as Petrochemical Fertilizer.........GET THE JUST?
This whole process uses stax of energy and we get this energy from gasoline.......it all needs petrol...how much petrol you ask? Well it takes 3.78541178 litres of petrol to produce 0.45359237 kilograms of meat.
REASON 3 COMPLETE
And lastly,
I thank mother nature everyday for soy beans...i use/eat so many soy bean products it's insane! It's such a clever lil bean :)
Milk and cheese and Vienna's, schnitzels, hamburger patty's, sausages, chip dip, tofu, nuggets, mince, yogurt, ice cream, cream...EEEEEK i can go on forever and forever..thank you lil soy bean. My theory is soy beans can save the world! Really, i have a fact...if we took 9.0718474 kilograms of soy beans and fed it to a cow,it will give us 0.45359237 kilograms of meat, YUK. But if we took the same amount of soy miracles it could help all the starving people in the world!
REASON 4 COMPLETE
No more reason's needed i think.
Basically what us vegans hope for is that more and more people stop eating meat so that the companies that produce the meat will have to cut down there fast manufacturing process's there isn't such a demand...and slowly our planet will benefit to.
I HOPE WE DON'T TAKE MUCH LONGER BECAUSE THE CREATURES AND THE WORLD CAN'T TAKE IT MUCH MORE, AS GREEN THINKERS KNOW.
This doesn't mean I'm pushing the world to become Vegan, hell it would be nice but it's not the point I'm trying to make. Even if you cut out eating meat for one day, you are really helping a lot, you wouldn't think so but you are. One day...one salad and sandwich and stir fry...it's a breeze!
Think smart, care fully and smile cause it's a "beep" load of fun.
Kindness and Hope
