I have reduced my meat consumption and almost eliminated beef. You don’t really present a balance message.
it is predicted that 5.1 million deaths would be avoided by 2050. If we all went vegetarian, the number would skyrocket up to 7.3 million lives saved, which would only further rise to 8.1 million would we all become vegan. Even these small, subtle, and seemingly insignificant changes have the power to save millions of lives.
These deaths are not avoided, they are delayed, a proper measure would be years of increased life expectancy.
In fact, more than two billion people are undernourished today in the modern world. For each of those two billion people, it becomes essential that we find ways to provide both cheap yet sustainable means of nourishment.
So … how do we even try to approach a modern famine?
In the world today there is plenty of food to feed everyone on the planet and feed all the food animals. Grain, legumes and dairy products are glutting our storage capacity. Food rots for the lack of buyers. The economics and corruption of the distribution systems are why we have famine and malnutrition not our inability to produce food in sufficient quantity. People starve not because there is not enough food but because they have no money. Billions of people are fed by charity but millions don’t receive enough charity mostly because Logistics (conflict) prevents the proper delivery of aid.
