If we continue with current food systems, we will create an uninhabitable earth in a short time. We will kill off all the fish and other sea creatures in the oceans, the rainforests will be totally destroyed, and animal agriculture will cause irreversible depletion of freshwater supplies.
As the human population increases, animal agriculture becomes less and less sustainable.
What we do have right here, right now, today, is the solution - eat plants. Eating a plant-based diet eases pressure on all the situations previously mentioned.
Another consideration with a growing human population is health care. We are currently eating ourselves to a state of disease and decline that can last years, caused by eating animals. This growing level of expensive-to-control disease overtaxes our medical and insurance systems such as Medicare. Financial collapse and the inability to care for everyone are serious threats that loom large.
Again, we have the answer right here and right now. Eat plants. Eating plant-based slashes the risk of developing chronic disease and can reverse existing conditions like heart disease, obesity, diabetes and cancer.
We are also facing globally catastrophic problems stemming from the widespread overuse of precious antibiotics, of which up to 80% are fed to farmed animals which causes antibiotic resistance in humans. At this rate we will destroy the healing abilities of some of the most helpful drugs ever invented, and we will return to a time in which getting a cut on the foot or developing a dental infection can easily result in amputation or death.
The more animals we raise and kill for food, the more unnecessary violence, abuse and slaughter we perpetrate upon innocents, and the more misery we contribute to our collective reality.
Again, we have the answer right here and right now. Eat plants. We thrive on plants. We ALL suffer when people eat animals.
We cannot wait until the future to correct the problems that are taking us down a road of ruin right now. The future will be vegan. But the time has come, now, to change.
The future is now, and it is vegan. Learn to go vegan here.
