There are many reasons to become a vegan or a vegetarian. One of the popular reasons is because it’s better for the environment… but is it really? Our resident vegetarian Anthony Carboni did some digging to find the answer.

Vegetarian or omnivore: The environmental implications of diet

“The argument that a vegetarian diet is more planet-friendly than a carnivorous one is straightforward: If we feed plants to animals, and then eat the animals, we use more resources and produce more greenhouse gases than if we simply eat the plants.”

Environmental Vegetarianism

  1. Damm I jus had a vision something took over the world but I don't know was it god or some other god who sent a warrior down to save us

  3. More animals die when you follow a vegetarian diet. Chick males are grind because they don’t produce eggs. And the calf’s are taken away from their mother immediately so they don’t drink your milk! And then they are killed a month after to be sold as veil. You are a compassionate person, just go vegan. For the planet, the animals and for your health.🙏

  4. But If you think of the process of the soil used to grow fruits and vegetables on farm, then you would be disgusted on whAt it's made of, right?

  5. So vegans say the whole world must go vegan. And I asked myself this. What about animal shelters for carnivorous animals such as lions? If the world was vegan, would we deny those lions their food? How would we feed them while maintaining our vegan morals? (That lion can no longer live in the wild due to an injury)

    I assume vegans would say “human sacrifice, or feed them people who are on death row”. Because they cannot simply feed them dead or sick animals, as it violates their vegan morals

    What are your solutions? Would we let the lions die because of survival of the fittest?

  6. Could you please tell me, how growing more broccolis is more destructive than farming on sigle stomach animals? I really would like to know the answer. Because for me it doesn't make sense, those animals we eat consume the veggies the crops we harnest. And yet you are saying they are less destructive? Aren't they are taking more energy to be raised and then slaughtered?

  10. They forgot to mention that vegetarianism would lead to an increase of agriculture which can cause large scale deforestation and algal blooms
