I am a person who has always loved meat. After watching it, I watched a lot of related materials and other documentaries and changed to a vegetarian diet. I think this is a basic conscience and I can at least do it. Looking at the comments, some people say that plants and microbes are also painful.... What I want to say is a bit of basic common sense, okay? The mechanism of pain is only found in the nervous system and the brain. Plants and single-celled microorganisms do not have such a mechanism, and they are not the same. If you insist on saying that it’s unfair to plants, okay... Then I tell you that the animals in the meat, egg and milk industry eat twice the amount of food needed by the entire population of the world.....people If you change to a vegetarian diet, you can "do less harm to plants"... If people change to a vegetarian diet, there will be no hungry children in the world, because the world’s food production has long been enough for all mankind, but Most of them are used to feed farm animals. In addition, 60% of greenhouse gases are emitted by the meat, egg, and milk industry. The excrement of these animals is one of the biggest sources of pollution in the river. The change to vegetarianism has a huge impact on environmental improvement. Finally, as long as you have a balanced diet and consume different types of vegetables, fruits, grains, and nuts, it is much better for your health than eating meat.
Now vegan is gradually developing in Europe and North America. Vegan means not to cause pain and harm to other lives when it is unnecessary. It does not mean that the lives of animals should be regarded as important as human beings in human society, but that it is necessary. Treat all lives fairly and give them the most basic respect and opportunity to enjoy their only one life without causing unnecessary harm.
If a balanced vegetarian diet can make us healthy, protect the environment, and greatly improve global warming and ocean pollution, then why must we harm animals and eat meat? If the global warming continues, then less than 50 years the earth will usher in great disasters, and vegetarianism can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 60%. What is the concept?
If there are various new materials that can replace leather, fur, and wool, why do we have to use these animal products to make clothes? Stella McCartney's faux leather bags are no worse than any other big-brand leather bags.
The milk, egg and meat industry has serious problems with genetic modification, hormone and antibiotic abuse. Saturated fat causes cardiovascular disease. There are also many meats that can cause cancer after overeating. This is mentioned in "Forks instead of scalpels".
The phenomenon of overfishing in marine fisheries may lead to a large-scale depletion of marine life in 2048.
When we consume, we should think about whether there is anything we can do that can meet our needs without harming animals? Although it is not easy to change traditions, starting from oneself is the most basic thing every person with a conscience can do. Don't think that you can't change the world. Every effort is important. If every effort is done, we will have the opportunity to make real changes.
