Meat Me Halfway

We know that eating animals is bad for the planet and bad for our health, and yet we do it anyway. We¿ve all heard the statistics: animal agriculture is responsible for at least 18 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions; we need to drop our meat consumption by 50 percent simply to feed the world¿s estimated 10 billion people in 2050; a full third of the Earth¿s arable land is devoted to growing crops for livestock; approximately 80 percent of deforested land in the Amazon is used solely for rearing livestock. Ask anyone in the plant-based movement and the solution seems obvious: Stop eating meat.
