Such a bold statement, we know, but it’s the truth. With all the plants they are consuming at a rate that’s twice or possibly thrice as high as their meat-eating counterparts, think of the carbon dioxide they are stealing from the Earth, such selfish people.
Mind you they do tend to plant edible gardens and trees more often than the typical consuming meat-eater, but it’s still no excuse to just take, take, and take.
And yes, we hear you saying “But don’t factory animal farms produce toxins as high as five times the recommended levels of sustainability?” and “Don’t meat eaters contribute more damage to the environment by supporting things like deforestation for cattle farms1, GMOs for cattle feed2 and water contamination from pig farms3?”
You’re right, but don’t try to shift the blame here! We are focusing on those terrible, plant loving, tree-hugging, vegan and veggie hippies.

So back to them. How dare they try and tout love and kindness for animals that are the meal ticket of their counterparts! Even though a lot of the food trends are leaning towards what they preach4, and their population more than doubled in the last few years, doesn’t give them any right to eat so many of earth’s plants, which in turn is our air.

Just because soon to be slaughtered cattle are using up almost a third of the agricultural land on the planet just for their feed5 and a single cow can produce as much as 500 liters of methane (CH4) per day which would make it the second most devastating animal on the environment to raise for food production6, so that meat-eaters can enjoy eating their rumps, does it really compare to the devastation those veggie and vegans cause in making so many holes in our ground with carrot pulling?

Well, the jury is still out on this one. But hopefully you can see the clear facts on this and next time you see a vegan or veggie, engage them in a conversation of how they are causing global warming, and see the “excuses” and “reasoning's” they come up with as to why they eat so many of Earth’s plants!
