of eating less meat
I will not make the usual sermon of vegetarianism, and I also want to avoid stress that no animals are cruelly killed for food. Let me tell you why if we eat too much meat and milk, contributing to the devastation of the planet and the malnutrition of millions of people report few, clear scientific evidence.
Rajendra Kumar Pachauri, an Indian scientist and economist, awarded in 2007 with the Nobel Peace Prize, gives us Facts:
18% of greenhouse gas emissions come from farming, to produce a kilogram of beef produces much greenhouse gas as a motorist travels 250 km,
farming uses 70% of all agricultural land, or 30% of land area and 70% of the Amazon forest has been destroyed To arrive at the cultivation of fodder and breeding, to produce a kilo of beef requires 15,500 liters of water.
The animals are always treated with antibiotics for their entire lives, mainly because the antibiotic will foster growth and secondarily to treat numerous diseases contracted as a result of inhumane conditions.
cereals and legumes that are used to feed the animals, are subtracted to those who have nothing to eat to satisfy our desire for meat. For us enjoy a nice steak, subtract, for each steak, a dozen servings of grains or legumes that could feed just ten people. Eating too much animal protein, we expose ourselves to serious diseases such as hypertension, atherosclerosis, and intenstino stomach cancer, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis and obesity. The Po valley is one of the largest producers of corn for animal use, and Po is its landfill, dumping millions of highly harmful herbicides in the water that then our children will drink the water of aquifers and we wallow happily in the sea June to September.
This excess of nitrogen dioxide also due to the combustion of biomass, combined with heavy indust, traffic, and a hood that is stagnating the air across the Po valley, enables us with great honor to be among the top 5 most polluted areas in the world , joy!
being vegetarian or at least drastically ridure meat consumption is not only a pain in the ass so that the hippies or communists. Reduce consumption of meat is a necessary condition and no longer be extended to safeguard our planet and our health. So instead of antibiotics
eat with their feet, eat lots of fruits and vegetables is good for you and your children!
Here some advice food of the great Franco Berrino.
size and moral progress of a nation can be judged by how it treats animals
