Soapbox Sunday

Thoughts while out on my run.

I have been thinking (again) how a society consisting of Vegetarians, or Vegans, could change the world.

Individually eating a plant based diet will:

Reduce weight

Lower blood pressure

Lower cholesterol

Enhance your sense of well being

Eliminate hunger pangs

Eliminate dieting

As a result of a multitude of people following the same diet:

Reduce world hunger: allow food production to go directly to the table instead of livestock

Reduce deforestation for grazing and planting of feed crops

Reduce extreme water consumption, reducing drought

Reduce methane air pollution which is #1 impact on global warming

Reduce water pollution from animal waste

Reduce unnecessary cruelty toward animals

I will climb down from my soapbox now.
