Each year 15 million children die of starvation
-"Solutions to World Hunger" 3 minute VIDEO HERE.
-The Worldwatch Institute states, "Meat consumption is an inefficient use of grain—the grain is used more efficiently when consumed directly by humans. Continued growth in meat output is dependent on feeding grain to animals, creating competition for grain between affluent meat-eaters and the world's poor."
-It takes 16 pounds of grain to produce just 1 pound of meat. According to the USDA and the United Nations, one acre of land to raise cattle yields 20 pounds of usable protein. That same acre would yield 356 pounds of protein if soybeans were grown instead - more than 17 times as much!
WHAT CAN YOU DO?
1. Make compassionate choices at the grocery store.
2. Plan to feed your family and yourself plant-based meals.
3. You can vote 3 times a day when you sit down to eat.
If 1 out of 10 people stopped eating animals, it would free up enough food to feed 1 billion hungry.
