Speciesism is the stem of all other kinds of discrimitation like racism, sexism, and homophobia.
Homophobia.. A gay person! OMG! I'm scared!
Hi, I’m Alon! Who hasn’t heard about vegans yet? Raise your hands please. Yeah, we
all heard about them! I can’t eat this, I can’t wear that, vegans.. But
the question that still remains is- why?? Why would you give up that tasty
steak?! Well, here is my take on that! Here are the Top 8 Reasons to go vegan! Enjoy!
Number 1- Less water waste It takes 3500 litres of water to
produce one serving of beef. To put this in perspective- an average 10 minute shower takes
about 150 litres of water. It’s possible to have a complete and nutritious meal for much less
water than that on a plant-based diet. In fact, a person on a standard American diet
requires about 15,900 litres of water daily, while a person on a vegan diet only requires about 1,135
litres a day. By going vegan you’d stop wasting tons of water!
Number 2 - Less harmful gases as I already mentioned,
the livestock sector is the biggest contributor to the global emissions of greenhouse
gases. That includes methane from cows, and badly decomposed manure from waste lagoons,
among similar things. Number 3 - The destruction of the lungs of
the Earth. The amazon rainforest is the biggest rainforest
in the world, and it helps cleanse air in the atmosphere from bad gases and produce
fresh air. In the last couple years, big companies started clearing it out, so that
they can have more area to grow grain for livestock on, as well as the livestock itself. Those companies
are demolishing the amazon at high rates and ruining it just so that they can increase their
profit from selling meat. Number 4 - Less food waste
today, we produce enough food to feed 10 billion people! But since at least have
of that, is being fed to livestock animals, food shortage is created and thus people,
usually in developing countries, die of malnutrition. That’s why, for example, 3.1 million
children under the age of 5, die each year of poor nutrition.
Number 5 - Speciesism speciesism is the idea that one species is better,
or more important than another.
Speciesism is the stem of all other kinds of discrimination, like
racism, sexism, and homophobia. Why, you ask? Because just like speciesism, people tell themselves
they’re better than someone else, just because they a set of characteristics.
Like gender, skin color, sexual orientation, or species..
Number 6 - Lose weight
many studies find this time after time- people on vegetarian or vegan diets, usually have a
more stable, and healthier weight. That happens because foods like meat or dairy
usually have a lot of empty calories in them, which mean - not a lot of vitamins and minerals, but a lot of
calories, and fat.
On the contrary, a vegan diet provides many foods that have a lot of vitamins and minerals in them,
and not a lot of calories and fat. Number 7 - Avoid disease
as an extension to number 6- since a vegan diet doesn’t provide cholesterol
and bad fats, many diseases like heart disease and many cancers can be easily avoided on a vegan
diet. Number 8 - Become more compassionate
when people truly understand why they should stop consuming animal products, they break
the wall that the industries worked so hard to build- the wall between you, and the truth.
Over 150 billion animals are being killed every year. And all this
murder turns humans into cold-blooded killers that only care about themselves. When you
break that wall, you open your heart to diversity of species and you don’t validate murder based
on who’s the victim.
