⠀ ⠀ ⠀┊ the animals

• each year, approximately 56 billion animals are slaughtered and on top of this, animal agriculture is the leading cause of species extinction
• animals undergo painful mutilations and are bred to grow unnaturally large, solely for the purpose of maximising meat, egg and milk production for profit, leading to extreme suffering as their bodies experience painful conditions and deformities from not being able to support this growth
• most farmed animals never experience fresh air or daylight and are kept in extreme confinement up until the time has come for them to be taken for slaughter at an age significantly younger than their true life span

⠀ ⠀ ⠀┊ your health

• many peer reviewed animal studies have discovered that animal protein promotes the growth of cancer cells, especially as a result from casein which is the main protein found in cow's milk
• meat, dairy, fish and eggs contain moderate to high levels of the "bad cholesterol" ldl, increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke
• alongside this, saturated fat is found in animal products which raises ldl levels in the blood
• a whole-foods plant based diet has been proven to lower of even reverse chronic diseases

⠀ ⠀ ⠀┊ the environment

• animal agriculture is responsible for more greenhouse gases than the world's transportation systems combined, leaving it as a leading cause of climate change
• it takes up to 10 pounds of grain to produce 1 pound of meat and in the us alone, 56 million acres of land is used to grow feed for animals, whilst only 4 million acres are for growing plants for human consumption
• growing crops, cleaning filthy farms and for the animals hydration requires extreme amounts of water and further more, with greater amounts of manure from animals raised for food and its runoffs, the industry majorly contributes to water and air pollution
