Why vegan?

For the animals. For the environment. For your health.

“The global implications of the growth of the factory farm, especially given the problems of food-born illness, antimicrobial resistance, and potential pandemics, are genuinely terrifying...If the world follows America’s lead, it would consume over 165 billion chickens annually (even if the world population didn’t increase). And then what? Two hundred billion? Five hundred? Will the cages stack higher or grow smaller or both? On what date will we accept the loss of antibiotics as a tool to prevent human suffering? How many days of the week will our grandchildren be ill? Where does it end?”

Jonathan Safran Foer, Eating Animals, 2009.
