Vegetarian Animals
Posted on Friday, June 24, 2011 in Healthy Eating
How is it possible to save 100 animals a year by being vegetarian/vegan?
I just don’t see it. On the flip side, as a non-vegetarian/vegan, I can’t see myself consuming 100 animals a year. Consuming meaning eating, buying certain products, etc.
Is there an UNBIASED statistic somewhere that states what is the average # of animals consumed (per person) for eating, consumed for leather goods, for beauty products, etc.?
I don’t actually believe it’s possible to determine with any accuracy. You would have to know exactly how many animals are raised and killed every year, and I don’t know if that is even documented. Then you would have to know how much of the population is vegetarian and how many eat meat to calculate the average meat consumption. And even among meat-eaters there are those who eat Big Macs every day and those who only eat a bit of meat. Plus one chicken is equal to how many cows? It’s just too hard to calculate how many animals a person saves. But as long as you understand the theory of supply and demand (which it seems a lot of answerers don’t) then you can clearly see that fewer animals are being killed for a vegetarian or vegan.
