Albert Einstein once said, "Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet."
Although Einstein uttered the statement more than half a century ago, the truth of his words is evident now more than ever. A close look at the facts shows that the world's biggest problems — disease, hunger, and environmental destruction — are closely linked to the practice of raising animals for food. With obesity rates at an all-time high and our natural resources dwindling away, the arguments for plant-based eating are getting harder to ignore.
The section that follows outlines some of the reasons for kicking the meat habit: disease, animal suffering, environmental degradation, and world hunger.
