Environmental Impact
A 2006 report from the Food and Agriculture Organization estimated that livestock were
responsible for about 18% of human-caused greenhouse gases. –Time
About 30% of the world's total ice-free surface — is used not to raise grains, fruits and
vegetables that are directly fed to human beings, but to support the chickens, pigs and
cattle that we eventually eat. –Time
UN urges global move to meat and dairy-free diet –The Guardian

World Hunger
An additional 4 billion people in the world could be fed if land currently used to grow
crops for livestock were given over to crops for human consumption, according to a new
study.
36 percent of the calories produced by the world’s crops are being used for animal feed
… and only 12 percent of those calories ultimately contribute to the human diet
