If you owned a manufacturing company and it cost you $25.00 to produce an item that you sold for $1.00, how long would you stay in business?
As per this, and other studies, it takes:
- 25 calories to produce 1 calorie of beef
- 15 calories to produce 1 calorie of pork
- 10 – 20 calories to produce 1 calorie of fish
- 9 calories to produce 1 calorie of chicken
Even if we ignore the fact that meat production is one of the most significant contributors to our environmental problems.
Even if we ignore the fact that many meats are now labeled Type 1 or Type 2 carcinogens.
Even if we ignore the fact that most of the meat you get from the store has fecal matter in it.
Even if we ignore the fact that the calories you get from meat are not as beneficial as the calories you get from plants.
Even if we ignore the fact that our bodies were not built to digest meat.
Even if we ignore the increased risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, heart disease, cancer, type 2 diabetes, obesity, acne, Alzheimer’s and overall mortality.
Even if we ignore the rising price of meat.
We simply cannot feed the world with meat. The math does not work.
The sooner you start your transition away from meat the sooner you will find the alternatives taste good, your health will go up, your weight will go down, and you will have more money in your wallet. Oh, and you will be doing a good thing for the world and all in it.
