Sign of the Times: Washington Post Says Meat Is Horrible

“Meat is horrible, a new article in The Washington Post, highlights the negative impacts of a Western diet.

Author Rachel Premack discusses the environmental, ecological, and health reasons Americans must give up or cut back on meat. Featuring multiple graphs, her compelling argument destroys common myths and seems to support a meat tax.

Premack writes:
By 2050, scientists forecast that emissions from agriculture alone will account for how much carbon dioxide the world can use to avoid catastrophic global warming. It already accounts for one-third of emissions today — and half of that comes from livestock.
She also notes that it takes “48 times as many liters of water to produce the same amount of beef as veggies and we could save “a collective $730 billion in health care by reducing meat consumption.

The debate over climate change and animal agriculture’s role in it is over. We know how raising animals for food damages our planet, and it’s time world leaders took action.

In the meantime, you can help protect the planet, your health, and animals by switching to a plant-based diet.
