RE: EATING MEAT — WHY THE BUDDHA WAS NOT A VEGETARIAN

in #health7 years ago

You will do it, just think about what we do for the planet!

you will save 1000 gallons of water daily as a vegan, as well as animal lives, C02 imprints, and up to 30 sqf Forest area a day <3

It is so easy to stay vegan, think of the endless suffering animals endure, the Buddha would cry, he would not believe what has happed to this earth..
Remember 50% of humans eats less then optimal while meat wastes 90% of the energy into heat and spews out gases, methane, warming our planet.
90% of the energy is lost, this means 90% less food if we eat meat. We can get 1kg beef or 10kg vegan food from the same area, or probably more then 10kg, since animals have more interactions with the suroundings and much more devastation occures.

Many protein diseases and deaths from cardiac failures are linked to eating sugar and fat continuous. Staying vegan excludes many bad fats and processed foods, at least the way I cook :)

Peace

Yeah, many times people forget about the 'virtual water' that goes into producing foods from animal products... chicken, beef, eggs, you name it (even coffee-which we all love so dearly) takes hundreds and hundreds of gallons to produce for an individual's daily consumption.

I really think there is a lack of education regarding this stuff bc we reallllllly are in a water security crisis, especially in the immensely growing megacities around the world...

I am a very healthy person, and I know the threats which eating meat proposes in the long-term, so Vegan may just be the way to go. Hopefully more and more people hop on board bc it really will do great wonders for the greater good of society :))

See ya around my friend !!

It makes me glad to read some insightful comments from time to time :) yeah water are getting scarce even California and Texas have tasted the shortages by now!

Indeed education is the key here, I am currently trying to get a few posts done on this topic and I must say it hurts to see what we are doing to animals.

Peace friend!
