It has been established by every scientific journal, magazine and book. Every media
outlet and newspaper has covered the topic. Countless films, documentaries and
television shows have broadcasted it. It has even been sung about in pop songs. It
should be known to pretty much every living person that our current way of living is
unsustainable and we are well on our way into extinction. Our level of consumption
and use of resources is devastating to ourselves as a human race and to other life
forms that we share this world with. The industrial age had dastardly effects on the
ecosystem and it is our job, in today’s information age, to reverse the damage done
for the sake of our species. Our carbon footprint levels are way too high and we are
taking a whole lot more from the earth than we give back. The meat industry is a
strong factor in this degradation of the earth. Meat production is unmaintainable for
the future; it is polluting, wasteful and part of a distorted mindset that we, as humans,
are dependent on consuming meat in order to live. It has been proven that we
biologically do not need meat, as we are not carnivores. Evidence shows that we are
herbivores and poison our bodies by consuming meat. Meat consumption is being
linked to all sorts of diseases and health conditions such diabetes, obesity, heart
disease and cancer. Despite meat eating being recognized as being unhealthy for the
human body, the consumption of meat and other animal products is unethical,
immoral and most importantly, unnecessary. Veganism is a lifestyle choice that
promotes peace and respect for one’s self, for other living beings and for the
environment. This is a lifestyle that will be increasingly common in the future not out
of choice, but out of necessity. Plant-based diets have been a part of the human race
since prehistoric man. Veganism is the most effective way that you, as an individual,
can combat the destruction of the earth and save our species.
