@Colton Hill Vegetarians who eat balanced diet are much more healthier than their meat eating counterparts.... people are just brain washed about meat linked with protein...they don't consider this harmful effects to body and environment
Meat (including fish) ready for consumption has a way higher amount of carcinogens then any other possible product. Easier said is that the chances for a meat consumer to obtain cancer in the future are higher. Meat is also often flavored with extra sugars fats and salts which are also bad for human health in high amounts.
Although I'm not vegan/vegetarian, I strongly support vegetarianism. And I try to consume as less meat as possible. Probably, I'll be a vegetarian at least in future. This is high time we should think about our planet. In many ways we are creating disturbance to the nature. We can't let this planet die like this. Mother earth doesn't need us, rather we need her to survive.
Beta Orionis did u watch the whole video properly? If not then watch it again as this just states the benefits but if u watch it properly it shows we grow to much feed for cattles and so much water is used up in growing a single cattle. If u try and understand that it means that u literally have to stop cattle fields and do not farm cattles which in turns harms the enviroment more than now
Me too. I have been vegetarian since 1994. I am 44 now but look and feel younger. I have no wrinkles nor heart problems, high blood pressure, cholesterol, I am not overweight nor have diabetes.
I’ve only been vegetarian for a few years, and I’ve had a few slip-ups (forgetting to check ingredients, mostly), but I agree! At first, I thought it would be difficult to give up meat, but I really don’t miss it that much, and I’ve gotten to try a lot more that I wouldn’t have eaten in the past. I’m not a particularly healthy person, but honestly, I feel that my life did improve with the choice. (Other factors were also involved, but it didn’t hurt, from what I’ve seen.)
economy wouldn't suffer? Tell me, what would happen to Australia? Australia would have to chop down every bit of native forest to grow enough food just to feed it's own population & it would loose billions of dollars a year in meat exports & become third world! Only 8% of Australia has the ability to grow crops (and that's only 1 crop per year), 70% of the country is currently used for meat production. What do you think is going to happen to that land? & that's only just below average. worldwide, the average is only 10% of a country's land can grow crops, while 37% is used for agriculture, due to animals needing far less water than crops do
Lilac Lizard There has to be a way around this. I know that many vegan/vegetarians are not aware of this, some think that you can grow crops almost everywhere. I know how it is but I hope in the future we could do something different in those lands but still profitable for those farmers
Wormhole Traveler, I don't see why you'd want to find an alternative. In Australia bird watchers travel from International locations to visit cattle stations because of the Internationally listed wetlands located in the middle of land that's been cattle stations for over 100 years. Studies on the Simpson Desert show no reduction in wildlife numbers, including endangered ones, in areas grazed by cattle compared to ungrazed areas. Wildlife in many locations is more abundant on cattle stations than on national parks next door to them, due to the ideal conditions managed grazing land provides for so many native species. Meanwhile over 20 billion mice were killed this year in the production of crops, v only 9 million cows. Around 100 million wild pigs per year are cruelly killed with poisons to protect crops, kangaroos are dropping like flies from starvation across the entire east coast, with almost all killing restrictions being removed in the hope of giving them a humane death & killing basically as many as possible now since they're walking dead anyway & killing now might hopefully save some of the endangered species they're eating ALL food for, all of which could have been completely prevented with proper cull management since this last occurred in 2002, when 18 million (1/3rd of the entire population) starved to death & then there's the erosion from crop farming v soil building with cattle grazing. There's SO many reasons why livestock is less harmful than crops it's not funny! Anyone who genuinely cares about reducing animal deaths, animal cruelty & environmental damage should be pushing for more livestock & less crops! (and even better, eating feral animals like pigs & returning to Aboriginal style kangaroo management as well to prevent these destructive "boom & bust" cycles. If we don't fix that, kangaroos will be going the way of the Tasmanian tiger & Tasmanian devil - so much loss of genetic diversity through constant population bottlenecks, that their extinction will become inevitable :'( I refuse to support that! I want them alive & healthy long term! That's why I eat them
24 Frames Of Nick THIS IS THE REAL ISSUE!! FINALLY SOMEONE GETS IT Nah all jokes aside though and I know this comment is probably a joke but if we produced more supply would be higher than demand and them dang ol avocados would be like 20¢ a fruit or whatever tf they are
Roberto Luna In a more realistic scenario, the percentage of vegetarians/vegans would gradually increase, demand for animal products would slowly decrease which means that fewer people will become ranchers - if the world gradually becomes vegan over like 100 years or more, no current ranchers would have to switch at all. But even if that transition would only take like 20 years - around 1% of employees in developed countries are employed in the agricultural sector and most of them would still be needed in a vegan world. At the same time, the transportation sector accounts for 2-3% of all employees which means that the impact of autonomous cars will be far greater alone, not to mention other aspects of automation that we might not even see coming at this point. Arguably, the positive effects on environmental issues (deforestation for animal feed and grazing land -> greenhouse gas emissions, species extinction, excessive use of pesticides for animal feed, overfertilization -> ocean deadzones,...) would outweigh a minor shift in our economy by far. Another problem are the horrendous conditions in factory farms that even impact the effectiveness of antibiotics.
Phytom the total demand for plant foods would decrease because we wouldn't waste so much grain, corn and soy as animal feed. But it isn't much of a problem in the first place.
I'm a vegetarian but I'd never allow my cats or dogs to not eat meat as they need it to be healthy... DO NOT tell me they can have alternatives because they cant
Dogs can be plant based - I feed my three dogs a home cooked plant based diet mixed with V-dog kibbles. They are very active, happy and healthy. Dogs need protein - not meat. why are you slaughtering farm animals to feed a rescue dog. home cooked plant based meals are far superior to commercial kibbles filled with toxins, preservatives, lack nutrition due to the cooking process. its animal abuse to feed your dogs commercial kibbles filled with disgusting ingredients 50% of the dogs suffer from obesity, diabetes, arthritis, cancer - these are all caused by a poor diet - so how can anyone still think that commercial dog food can be healthy for dogs
@@ito_tofu5324 I have qualification's in pet nutrition. I know all about commercial foods etc... infact I raw feed all my pets and give them whole pray (with the fur in it's a natural de wormer and many other benifits) and they are all in perfect health and their skin and coats are fantastic. I'm sorry but cats and dogs are carnavors they need to eat meat. If you let your dog out in the wild whats he going to eat? He would naturally hunt for meat! If you dont want your pet to eat meat then get a rabbit or Guinea pig. DO NOT let your pet suffer because of you're life style choices
Cleo Price I agree that cats are obligate carnivores but not dogs. If I release all my dogs into the wild, they would not survive - the problem with the “natural” argument is that we have domesticated dogs and thats already unnatural - they have adapted to an omnivorous diet and they are scavengers- they can thrive on a plant based diet. they dont need meat, they need protein - as long as you give dogs protein, they will thrive. I also use a food processor to grind up their food to aide digestion. They have been eating plants for 2 years now and they are incredibly healthy. would you feed them plant based food over commercial dogfood?
What most people don't realise is that if we stop eating meat we have to produce more plant based foods which will make them the leading green house gas producers....
@The Lord Have you considered watching the video before commenting ? Plant based foods produce 5 times less CO2 than meat per kg. And 1kg of meat actually uses several (up to 10) kg of plantbased foods in cattel feed. SO. No, it would decrease the amount of plant based foods and drastically and output significantly less CO2. So flying planes would become the leading green house gas producer :)
Balder Again you avoid the point. Let me make it simple. 1.) The number of live animals will increase as we are not allowed to prevent a species from reproducing or to control its population through slaughter without gain. 2.)Plant based foods are dependent on climate. Therefore he has not factored in the additional production of green house gases via transport. 3.) He also didn't include the large numbers of chemicals requiered to sustain crops, which also produce green house gases in their production. (*This is the major point most people miss*) 4.) Cars produce more greenhouse gases than planes :)
If anybody considers going vegetarian after this video pls inform yourself about what you need to eat. Vitamin B12 is an interesting point to start with. I take a Vegan/Vegetarian supplement every day just to be on the safe side.
Colton Hill The meat we are consuming is simply not healthy. It’s pumped with medication and has a very poor nutritional value. I prefer taking B12 supplements instead of eating beef pumped with antibiotics
There's no way everybody would give up meat. No matter how beneficial it would be for the environment. With that said, I read that scientist have successfully grown a steak in a lab through stem cells that proved to be healthier than a traditional steak, taste the same too. What if in the distant future, everybody had stem cell growing machines in our homes? And greenhouses in our backyards? With no need for massive amounts of farms, imagine all that land going back to nature? It's a future i'd like to see :)
Test tube meat is probably the only hope we have for the immediate future as far as animal welfare and agricultural demands go. There's a lot of money being invested into this, even by big meat producers like Smithfield. It's going to take a while for them to bring the cost down, though, as it's just too expensive to make right now. Plus, they still have to work out some kinks on the texture because they have some problems reproducing the feel of regular meat. Something about the tendons or muscles. But I look forward to seeing lab grown meat in supermarkets within my lifetime.
well hello again renge. Ok now you've REALLY shown just what an incredible hypocrite you are!!!!!!!! You are supporting the murdering of pregnant cows & the draining of their unborn baby's blood - while still alive, to experiment on producing food for humans? You disgust me! & Julian, you can do what you're talking about right now with aquaponics or insect growing - except FAR more ethical than lab meat is or will ever be!
Lilly, digging up my months old comments and posting spastic replies doesn't paint you in a very good light. I don't mind that you're stalking me like a spurned lover, I'm just telling you this for your own good.
I wasn't stalking your renge, I was simply reading the comments in this video & saw your comment & was wondering if the person who made it was vegan or not & so looked at the name to see if I'd noticed it in other comments on this video, only to find it was YOU! Is pretty mindblowing for a comment like that to be coming from an even partial vegan, let alone an extremist like you!
Lilly... read your comment out loud. That's all I can say. "Oh I was wondering if the person who made it was vegan or not" lol... you've really gone off the deep end since losing that argument. I just feel sorry for you now. Later.
Troll Account And in 3 years you will have your first heart attack due to an overconsumption of meat. Every diet can result in malnutrition. If you eat one vegetable a week, sure you will have health issues. A balanced diet is possible for vegans, vegetarians and meat eaters. Some vegans just don’t pay attention to the nutrients that they have to eat, same goes to meat eaters tho
Charlotte DBAI-MS they are fed crops and they are also given growth hormones, they cannot only survive either growth hormones, they need the food (and way more than we do)
Did you get vegetarian and vegan mixed up? Vegetarian is just no meat but vegan is no meat or animal products. You kept talking about how there wouldn’t be any livestock but you’re forgot about the amount of animal products there are, (e.g. cheese, leather, jello, chocolate, etc.)
surfie007 I think you've got them slightly mixed up as well. Vegetarians won't eat/use things that require an animal to be slaughtered. So a global conversion to vegetarianism would eliminate some of the products you mentioned, namely leather and jello
surfie007 well regardless both sides are actually terrible for the environment and neither will be beneficial to the environment should we actually switch to one or the other there are too much existing problems to sort out first
silloweet I know you didn’t ask me, but it matters to me because I’m still a teenager and I would probably live to see the world collapse if we keep living like we do today in developed countries.
Plant cultivating provides more jobs than animal cultivating and produces more energy per centimeter. This is several folds larger if you use a complex and dynamic agriculture system - Permaculture
permaculture requires animals! Animals or chemicals are the ONLY ways possible to grow plants on a large scale! & 10% of the planet's land can grow plants, 37% is currently used for farming, you CANNOT convert that other land to grow crops that are edible to mono-gastrics
Plants dont simply eat air and soil they need nutrients which come from mineral fertilizer. (Chemical fertilizers) creating big mines. Or reusing the manure to feed the plants.
smh! youtube is not a source for sound diet advice information! Or if you really feel a need to use youtube instead of proper sources, at least balance it! Go watch someone like Shawn Baker
Nobody would replace meat with just rice. Of course switching from meat to rice would be detrimental; replacing that meal with eggs, dairy, soy, or plant proteins is insanely easy and cheap.
If everyone went vegetarian we would go extinct because to grow enough produce to feed the entire world population woul require mass deforestation, plus pesticides going into the oceans at more concentrated levels killing sea life.
I'm not against eating meat. Im against industrial farming. I believe we should hunt for any meat that we eat & to moderate the amount of meat that we eat. Not every meal needs to have meat in it. You don't even need it every day. I personally eat meat about 2-3 times a week & it's working well for me but that is just my own experience. Don't change your diet because of something you read on the internet. Consult your doctor about what you should and shouldn't eat.
@Dissmor2 who does know about nutrition then? You do realize it has been proven time and time again that you can be healthy with either a vegan or an omnivorous diet, right? It's just harder to remain healthy with veganism. Both diets have risks that can be circumvented.
You are like me, bro, I am also against industrial farming, they keep this livestock in an environment which is intolerable for any bacteria to even live
Vegetarian since I was born due to religion and as I grow older I'm thankful my generation of family have been saving the animal and planet. Never once I was attracted to meat because never tasted it and all I can think of is how they are slaughtered.
Yes it happened to mee too i was attracted towards non veg but i wanted it to be banned in all the countries the corona virus we are suffering from rn could not be here if everyone could be vegan
I’m 15 and I decided to go vegetarian and it’s been amazing, I wanna go vegan but it’s not that easy since I’ve been a meat eater my whole life but I’m planning to go vegan in the future, I’m currently trying to eat less dairy and eggs but it’s hard for me because I really don’t like the way plant based milk tastes, but I’ll get used to it I guess.
more ethical to switch the chicken/eggs/milk for insect flours than to stop all animal product eating :) If you have a house, see if you can get your parents to let you get a pet chicken too for ethical eggs instead of giving them up :) You can even adopt a "spent hen" (a former caged chicken) if you want to be REALLY ethical about it
Well I suggest you to first stop consuming meat, but keep eating eggs, dairy products and so on that we get by nature not killing animals. And then slowly, if you wanna be a full veg, you can stop consuming them too.
I know bro it's so hard, specially dairy some how it's everywhere , and to be fair it's tastes good, it took me 1 year to just cut off dairy. It's so hard , but possible.
@@realisticguy569 I don't think that's possible, what will happen to the cows that cannot produce milk ? The environmental impact will be way too much. Dairy is the worse.
If everyone went vegetarian we would go extinct because to grow enough produce to feed the entire world population would require mass deforestation, plus pesticides going into the oceans at more concentrated levels killing sea life. Not to mention different parts of the world have different seasons and thus produce prices would sky rocket with even the slightest loss of crop in that year. I mean 71 percent of the world is water, 22 percent is desert so you do the math with what's left.
@@ruthofmoab8616 do you have hearing problem?it's mentioned in the video that meat is the main cause of climate change.where the heck were you at that time?
I would like to respectfully asked a question that I expect no specific answer from I just want people to give it some thought. if every person in the world stopped eating meat today. what would happen to all of the animals?
You're right, yet it has one of the most polluted city in Delhi. I don't think becoming a vegetarian will solve the world problem, even though vegans will sell this any day. The issue is not in the meat but the commercialisation of it.
Wow. Paneer is my staple, not tofu, then when I opened the replies: Xenophobic remarks. Also, CORRELATION does not make CAUSATION. Pollution in India cannot just casually be associated with diet/lifestyle...
India is also one of the world's top 4 meat exporters :) Anyway, India has almost unlimited land that is suitable for growing crops, so it can afford to be meat free. Try growing those same types of crops in Saudi Arabia & see how you go! Some land is arable, most is not!
According to survey 41% Indians were vegetarian in 2011 and u showed 30% in 2017 ... In 6 years more than 150 million people became Non-vegetarian ? This is Huge.
@@jimboonie9885 sending them in the wild can cause plant shortage, which can cause a massive wildlife famine considering that forests are already dying from human pollution, and feeding them to zoos still wouldn’t be enough since not a lot of animals live in zoos.
Andrew O'Hara good boy. We can make that in space as well in short time and larger scale . No killing animals also means vegans can eat meat without killing animals
Not so simple In any case, even if plant-based diets can in theory provide the nutrients people need, as long as they are supplemented with critical micronutrients (such as vitamin B12 and certain long-chain fatty acids), that is not to say that in practice shifting people towards them will not result in a great many people following poorly balanced diets and suffering ill health in consequence. And when a vegan diet fails, for instance due to poor supplementation, it may result in serious physical and cognitive impairment and failure to thrive. The approach seems particularly risky during pregnancy and for the very young, as also documented by a long list of clinical case reports in medical literature. Animal products are exceptionally nutrient-dense dietary sources - removing them from the diet compromises metabolic robustness. Without sufficient insight in the complexities of nutrition and human metabolism, it is easy to overlook important issues as the proportion of nutrients that can be absorbed from the diet, nutrient interactions and protein quality. The same debate needs to be had when it comes to consideration of the environmental question. Too fast or radical a shift towards “plant-based” diets risks losing realistic and achievable goals, such as increasing the benefits of natural grazing and embracing farming techniques that reduce the wasteful feeding of crops to animals, lower climate impact and enhance biodoversity. A shift towards a radically plant-based planetary diet loses the many benefits of livestock - including its deployment on land that is not suitable for crop production, its contribution to livelihoods, and the many other benefits that animals provide. It mistakenly assumes that land use can be swiftly altered and ignores the potential of farming techniques that may even have mitigating effects. Sustainable, ecological and harmonious animal production really should be part of the solution of the “world food problem”, considered from both the nutritional and environmental scenarios. The Earth is an extraordinarily complex ecosystem - any one-size-fits-all solution risks wreaking havoc with it.
@@apexpredator5721 :) yeah I mean I just choose to eat vegetarian because its my preference, but ik irs not going to change the whole world, I kinda just said that as a joke. But still ig I am doing something for the planet because since we know not everybody is going to become vegetarian, the few people that are, help out in thw smallest way ig
@@lukerose384 Maybe because people giving up dairy is what us the world relies on if people don’t give up diary then this world will litteraly be doomed
EvenMac Donald has managed so well in India with vegetarian menu because of our great spices. And those 70% who eat meat eat only at certain occasions.
Sam Awesome I simply wanted to correct you when you said 70% eat meat only at special occasions. That is wrong and misleading. Only some of the 70% eat meat on special occasions, the rest have no problem eating meat as regular part of their diet
hoohag well you are in south. The senario is different here. First in our country their are people who can’t afford meat. Secondly you must be young. Youngster consume meat every day but as they grow up the amount of meat they eat keep on decreasing. I have personally experienced. And when they get old meat consumption almost stops. And by the way major population of India is in Ganga belt and that’s the area which is conjusted and is in north.
I don't think it's special occasions anymore. As people have started doing better for themselves, they've started consuming more meat. And sadly, a lot of my Indian friends fell into the myth that you need to a lot of chicken to build muscle which is simply not true. That's why they say that meat consumption in the world is going to increase dramatically as people in countries like India start adopting a lifestyle similar to Americans who consume meat with almost every meal
I've been a carnivore for a year now. The best choice I've made in a while. There's a lot of misinformation in this video derived from epidemiological studies that conflate data sources.
I think another solution is Lab Grown Meat, which is a field of research currently underway. It's basically growing the muscle structures from stem cells without the actual animal. So it's real meat, the exact same cells as you eat now, but healthier and with less pollution (?) and cruelty. ?: depends on how the meat is produced obv but im sure its better than tons upon tons of cowfarts.
Ive actually felt so much healthier, happier and more nourished since i went vegetarian two years ago, like I genuinely believe it is one of the best decisions I have ever made, and tbh I want to go vegan next too x
I have been a vegetarian my whole life and I love it ❤️❤️ what weird questions I get asked though most people are very uneducated on the topic of being vegetarian
There are a lot of good substitutes for meat that taste really good. I think if people were slightly more open-minded then being vegetarian/vegan would be a lot more common.
Not all people can eat everything unfortunately, that’s what many vegans forget. Many have severe IBS, crohns and have gluten intolerance too. Me for example my IBS is bad I can’t eat soybeans, lentils, chickpeas or beans, I can’t eat wheat, garlic, onion, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, apples, pears, some nuts and so much more. I would have deficiency of something if I went vegan. I really wish I could eat everything above, would have made my decision to stop eating meat so much easier.
Less than 1% of all corn grown in the US is sweet corn (that's the kind you buy at the grocery store) the rest is field corn. Field corn is used for everything from cattle feed to sweeteners, starches, oils, and ethanol. 63% of all the land in Iowa is devoted to growing corn and/or soy. 85% of all land in Iowa is farmed. It's not just a problem with animal farming. It's all farming.
Interesting topic and even though I am a meat eater it was interesting to see what woukd happen if everyone became vegetarian. Your videos are always interesting too unlike other channels. I wish my school used ur channel. Could you plz be my teacher? Lol!!
As a reginitive farmer raising grass fed grass finished beef Along with many other types of animals in the meat production. I truly believe if people would look to regenerative farms rather than factory farms they would see a massive difference in the way things are done. On our farm not only do we not use sprays or chemical fertilizers But we also never have to plow Or break the soil in any way to Produce healthy meat. We don't have to start a tractor to harvest the food. The cows harvest all the food themselves We don't have to start a tractor to plant food. The way we graze the cows the plants continue to grow on their own We rarely use tractors or trucks or diesel of any kind. We literally increase the amount of carbon in our soil annually. And because of this carbon increase the nutrient quality and mineral quality of our soil steadily goes up instead of down But not only that we are able to plant fruit and nut trees And all sorts of fruits and vegetables because of the Organic fertility the animals provide. there's really no limit to what we can do in this model. the marriage of plants and animals is far more complex and so much more necessary than people will ever understand. the symbiotic relationship Is vital to our long term success in healthy soils. not to mention that the best way to keep from monocultures And monoculture farming. Is regenitive Agriculture And more specifically agriforesty. I will be the 1st to agree that the current farming practices Are not the best ways that we can Be doing. I will also say that if you look in history then you will understand that the current practices were created out of necessity. And lack of knowledge. The reality is with regenerative farming we are learning that the best way to farm land and raise food is in a system that is as close to nature as possible. We are learning that with billions of people on the Earth we are changing the ecosystem and the way things are With farming. But through Regenitive farming we can raise food in a way that is very close to nature leaving thousands of acres as close to nature as possible. The only way you can truly do this is through meat and fruits and vegetables nuts and seeds. with a well balanced diet. So that we can create biodiversity in our soils. the problem with being vegan or vegetarian or carnivore or any special restrictive diet Is that we're only looking at the health of the human And not understanding the health of the soil. Plus you have to ask yourself one very big question where would all of the animals go if we all became vegans today?
I was born an indian carni :v I've been trying hard to go vegetarian because of ethical and religious reasons though As for environmental reasons, we might face new set of problems if everyone went vegetarian.. so that's not the reason i'm going vegetarian, fertility of soil will be decreased, we'll be using up EVEN MORE land for plant agriculture.. while one animal can feed an entire family it takes several crops of feed that family I'll have to take supplements if I went vegan, so that's not that much of a health benefit.. going vegetarian is okay for me If you i'd really have to change things for environmental reasons, I'd start off with switching to clean energy I can't go vegan.. too extreme for me.. i'm trying to give up eggs and all types of meat n fish.. I only consume dairy and honey as animal products these days I was actually a meat lover😅 but I'm trying hard and have been eating only vegetarian foods since 6-7 months

Someone at my school did a presentation on factory farming. The fact that not every single person in that class turned vegetarian blows my mind. I can't stand thinking of what those animals go through.

*Clicks video* "It would stop our biggest source of greenhouse emissions and make a better planet for generations to come and it can end world hunger aswell as prevent super bacteria pandemics" "But is it worth it? Let us know in the comments" *B O I*
Joshua Figuera When we get rid of farm animals, there will be more space to grow crops, so mor food. Also, raising an animal costs more food than eating the plant fed to the animal because not 100% of an animal's food is turned into meat. A lot of energy from the food you feed animals is lost through the movement of the animal and its body heat. It is more efficient to directly eat the grown crops.
WhyShouldIEvenListenToYou The reason most of what he said is incorrect is that when we reduce the number of meats we eat we must increase the numbere of plant based foods which by percentage actually produce more greenhouse gasses as CO2 that is not used in respiration is released when they're "killed". Secondly, if we stop eating meat *we cant just slaughter the animals* so there will be more live stock (in fact too much live stock) that take up *more land and more of our food* and that will cause greater financial strain on people and will most likely cause many to go homeless and poverty to increase. *This was a very bias video*
I fail to understand that cultivating crops will release more CO2 than farming animals, since feeding those animals take up these crops in the first place which they don't convert to meat with 100% efficiency so you'd need to cultivate less crops to feed the same amount of people if they don't est meat which in turn results in less greenhouse gas emissions. At least, that is what seems the most logical to me. Secondly, if we stop eating meat we *can just reduce the population of livestock and use these as the last ones we'll ever have to eat.* so we will win back more land for more crops. Of course, you are absolutely right that quite some people will lose their jobs and perhaps fall into poverty, but we can try to help them as much as we can. The conversion will probably create many job positions and if still some people will become poor and lose their jobs, *isn't it a small utilitarian trade-off for a better sustainable society for generations to come?*
WhyShouldIEvenListenToYou You avoided the point. What i meant was the difference in the green house emissions for both processes is marginal because of the different course of production (i.e plants require certain chemicals to icrease yield which to produce them take up mass resources). This will mean the green house emissions will balance out. If you had common sense you would realise we cant control the population of a species without practical use as no vegans will allow it let alone PETA and all those plebs. We will have more animals than now that all must be fed and given land to live on which take up our resources without any benefit to us. There will be a huge rise in spread of disease as recent studies show that GM crops cause mutations and potential production of viruses. The majority of vegans recieve a vitamin overdose as they cant correctly balance their diet and which will inevitably shorten their lives. Most importantly, no one wants to be poorer than we are now especially when the gap between the lower and upper class is increasing by the day. *I have nothing agains vegans, but I have problems with people displaying a bias argument to try and force their belief/ways on other people and displaying it as a factual video with "no stand point"*
I've been vegetarian for over a year now and it has seriously improved everything in my life. I always suggest that the biggest step you can take without going fully veggie is to stop or reduce your red meat consumption AND buy from local, ethical farms!
don't get conned by feed conversion ratios. Chickens might only need 1.6kgs of food to produce 1kg of meat, but that 1.6kgs of food is food we could have eaten. A cow might need 6kgs of food to produce 1kg of meat, but their food is grass that we can't eat & consequently, when managed properly, it's generally a better option than the chickens. Insects are better still, they need 1kg of food to produce 1kg of "meat" & they can eat the same food as the cows to achieve that, but if you're not going to eat insects, consider the advantages of a rumen (cows, sheep etc) for fermenting crop waste & grass into usable energy. Look up "holistic grazing" to learn the environmental benefits of properly managed cows etc too & yes, definitely buy local & ethical & buy from local hunters too, killing animals like feral pigs with shooting instead of poisoning for crop protection. Chickens make awesome pets too & give eggs while doing so
@@lilaclizard4504 chicken's Feed conversion ratio is 1.9, that's like you get 1kg chicken for 2 kg of grains And cattle is even worse, it's around 8, that means for every 8kg of fodder a cow eats it produces 1 kg of meat, as far as grass goes, you can just use that grassland to grow food crops 😐
@@AbhijeetKumar-cm3jh hmm for some reason my comment's gone, no idea why, will redo in parts to try to figure out why 1 from wiki "As of 2011 in the US, broiler chickens has an FCR of 1.6 based on body weight gain, and mature in 39 days" It's not as good in some other countries BUT neither is the quality of food they are fed. tbc
@@AbhijeetKumar-cm3jh part2 There is 300 million tonnes of oil seed crop waste produced globally every year & only around 75 million chickens produced, so way more waste than is needed to provide all the food for every chicken on the planet without touching a single grain of food humans want to eat.
@@AbhijeetKumar-cm3jh part 3 Oil seed crop waste is the primary food used for chickens, with surplus once all chickens on the planet are fed then being used as pig & fish food in addition to chicken food, cause burning it causes major lung problems, so feeding it to chickens is the best way to dispose of it. The more you want to switch from animal fats to vegetable oil, the more need there is for chickens to eat the waste you create. tbc but later
One factor you seem to have forgotten is that lots of live stock live on lands that are not suitable for plant growing. Also I must counter the foot point, on where yes slots of plant and vegetable matter goes to live stock, it is often Parts of the plant that we ourselves could not eat. Such as the actual leaves from a corn plant or the the majority of wheat plant (as we can only eat about 2 percent or less, depending on the type of wheat.) Farmers are also trying to find ways to not use so much feed anyway. Farmers have started doing research into using the wheat by-products from brewers as feed. As it is highly nutriocius and would be thrown away otherwise
@@captpierce83 I'm sorry I don't understand your response? Are you saying just because I brought up a few points. I'm not likeable? But you are because simply due to you being vegetarian? Why? I don't understand, especially since, all I did 3 years ago was leave some food for thought or try to start up a conversation.
@@zzernathezebra I meant you brought up totally valid points. And it's very unfortunate that people just commenting "I am a proud vegeterian" receive all the likes. Very sad, that people blindly follow trends and believe half-truths. Also I think this is very dangerous. Eg. a lot of farming "waste" will remain waste without livestock. Like come'on, that pig shown with human food in the video just never happened... Also vegeterian, meaning people need to consume more vegetables to intake the same amount of nutrition, therefore we need way more plants than animals, which may equalize the pollution in the long run.

@@captpierce83 ooooohhhh, I see, thanks for explaining :) Sorry for misunderstanding and thanks for the like. It doesn't bother me not having a lot of likes. I honestly just like misinformation and in my book part of misinformation is only viewing things from one side. So that's why I posted something, to try and get people to stop and thing about the other side. If only for a minute.
Don’t forget about the topsoil destroyed to produce all of the plants we eat. And the chemicals that are washing into the ecosystem around farms from fertilizers and pesticides. My honest opinion on how to combat all of this isn’t going vegetarian. My opinion is that we should try to return to natural farming ways with free roaming cattle that feed on grass which solves the problem of all of the plants used to feed them, it reduces methane they produce dramatically, and it helps to restore natural ecosystems which in turn returns valuable nutrients to the soil which means you can have a crop rotation that allows us to farm without the use of fertilizers. I’m currently doing more research on this as I’m doing a research paper. This is honestly super interesting to me
have you heard of & researched "holistic grazing"/"intensive managed rotational grazing"? also "pasture cropping" I think both would really interest you if you haven't already found them

megablue222 I‘ts actually just the overconsumig culture and the dislocality of the meat market.. still we can not singlehandedly change the whole system, not eating meat is therefore our best option
It's the fact that they're over-killing animals just for most of the meat to be tossed/thrown away. Only a small portion of meat is actually purchased and consumed.
I think that balance is key and extremes don't work. Instead of being vegan we could treat our animals for eating better, eat a fraction of them, and eat more plant foods. We are all so different and a diet for one person won't work for everyone else. In addition I don't think humans realize just how alive plants are and dismiss the fact we kill and eat them. Plants communicate with other plants and insects, they sense when they are being harmed and release signals for help, they breathe, they drink, they move away from negative stimuli and much more. In my opinion we should not look at the human race as so much different and instead treat all of our food sources with love and respect. When we eat them be thankful for what we eat and don't over consume. Life is about balance and not extremes. 😄 Happy New year
I eat only chicken or fish only on weekends and my plate is always more veggies and rice and wheat products ive tried vegetarian diet and im an indian tried different type of pulses , grams , green leafy veggies salads and milk and cottage cheese but i got severe gas, headaches , indigestion etc ethen i reduced the spices and mentally i was irritated and unhappy so i stopped it and went back to my previous diet with moderate amount of fish and chicken now im better so the key is eat everything in moderation
Yeah but sadly humans aren't like that, people used to eat a small portion of their animals but with the greed and economy today, they are now basically only alive for eating... hopefully we'll mature up

@Colton Hill Vegetarians who eat balanced diet are much more healthier than their meat eating counterparts.... people are just brain washed about meat linked with protein...they don't consider this harmful effects to body and environment
Meat (including fish) ready for consumption has a way higher amount of carcinogens then any other possible product. Easier said is that the chances for a meat consumer to obtain cancer in the future are higher. Meat is also often flavored with extra sugars fats and salts which are also bad for human health in high amounts.

Considering that it won’t happen just in a moment, it makes great sense to start being vegetarian. Economy won’t suffer if it all comes gradually.
economy wouldn't suffer? Tell me, what would happen to Australia? Australia would have to chop down every bit of native forest to grow enough food just to feed it's own population & it would loose billions of dollars a year in meat exports & become third world! Only 8% of Australia has the ability to grow crops (and that's only 1 crop per year), 70% of the country is currently used for meat production. What do you think is going to happen to that land? & that's only just below average. worldwide, the average is only 10% of a country's land can grow crops, while 37% is used for agriculture, due to animals needing far less water than crops do
Lily B economy wont suffer but enviroment will in a very bad way
Lilac Lizard There has to be a way around this. I know that many vegan/vegetarians are not aware of this, some think that you can grow crops almost everywhere. I know how it is but I hope in the future we could do something different in those lands but still profitable for those farmers
@@lilaclizard4504 that doesn't mean you need to stop importing and exporting.
Wormhole Traveler, I don't see why you'd want to find an alternative. In Australia bird watchers travel from International locations to visit cattle stations because of the Internationally listed wetlands located in the middle of land that's been cattle stations for over 100 years. Studies on the Simpson Desert show no reduction in wildlife numbers, including endangered ones, in areas grazed by cattle compared to ungrazed areas. Wildlife in many locations is more abundant on cattle stations than on national parks next door to them, due to the ideal conditions managed grazing land provides for so many native species.
Meanwhile over 20 billion mice were killed this year in the production of crops, v only 9 million cows. Around 100 million wild pigs per year are cruelly killed with poisons to protect crops, kangaroos are dropping like flies from starvation across the entire east coast, with almost all killing restrictions being removed in the hope of giving them a humane death & killing basically as many as possible now since they're walking dead anyway & killing now might hopefully save some of the endangered species they're eating ALL food for, all of which could have been completely prevented with proper cull management since this last occurred in 2002, when 18 million (1/3rd of the entire population) starved to death
& then there's the erosion from crop farming v soil building with cattle grazing. There's SO many reasons why livestock is less harmful than crops it's not funny! Anyone who genuinely cares about reducing animal deaths, animal cruelty & environmental damage should be pushing for more livestock & less crops! (and even better, eating feral animals like pigs & returning to Aboriginal style kangaroo management as well to prevent these destructive "boom & bust" cycles. If we don't fix that, kangaroos will be going the way of the Tasmanian tiger & Tasmanian devil - so much loss of genetic diversity through constant population bottlenecks, that their extinction will become inevitable :'( I refuse to support that! I want them alive & healthy long term! That's why I eat them

“Create jobs in different fields.” Haha I see what you did there.
Luke lol
Yeah, I wanna see Ranchers who would go Full Theoretical Physicist the day after the farm closes.

Roberto Luna In a more realistic scenario, the percentage of vegetarians/vegans would gradually increase, demand for animal products would slowly decrease which means that fewer people will become ranchers - if the world gradually becomes vegan over like 100 years or more, no current ranchers would have to switch at all.
But even if that transition would only take like 20 years - around 1% of employees in developed countries are employed in the agricultural sector and most of them would still be needed in a vegan world. At the same time, the transportation sector accounts for 2-3% of all employees which means that the impact of autonomous cars will be far greater alone, not to mention other aspects of automation that we might not even see coming at this point.
Arguably, the positive effects on environmental issues (deforestation for animal feed and grazing land -> greenhouse gas emissions, species extinction, excessive use of pesticides for animal feed, overfertilization -> ocean deadzones,...) would outweigh a minor shift in our economy by far. Another problem are the horrendous conditions in factory farms that even impact the effectiveness of antibiotics.
Phytom the total demand for plant foods would decrease because we wouldn't waste so much grain, corn and soy as animal feed. But it isn't much of a problem in the first place.

I'm a vegetarian but I'd never allow my cats or dogs to not eat meat as they need it to be healthy... DO NOT tell me they can have alternatives because they cant
Proof that some vegetarians aren’t smug and annoying
For that, I like this comment.
Dogs can be plant based - I feed my three dogs a home cooked plant based diet mixed with V-dog kibbles. They are very active, happy and healthy. Dogs need protein - not meat. why are you slaughtering farm animals to feed a rescue dog.
home cooked plant based meals are far superior to commercial kibbles filled with toxins, preservatives, lack nutrition due to the cooking process.
its animal abuse to feed your dogs commercial kibbles filled with disgusting ingredients
50% of the dogs suffer from obesity, diabetes, arthritis, cancer - these are all caused by a poor diet - so how can anyone still think that commercial dog food can be healthy for dogs
@@ito_tofu5324 I have qualification's in pet nutrition. I know all about commercial foods etc... infact I raw feed all my pets and give them whole pray (with the fur in it's a natural de wormer and many other benifits) and they are all in perfect health and their skin and coats are fantastic. I'm sorry but cats and dogs are carnavors they need to eat meat. If you let your dog out in the wild whats he going to eat? He would naturally hunt for meat! If you dont want your pet to eat meat then get a rabbit or Guinea pig. DO NOT let your pet suffer because of you're life style choices
Cleo Price I agree that cats are obligate carnivores but not dogs. If I release all my dogs into the wild, they would not survive - the problem with the “natural” argument is that we have domesticated dogs and thats already unnatural - they have adapted to an omnivorous diet and they are scavengers- they can thrive on a plant based diet. they dont need meat, they need protein - as long as you give dogs protein, they will thrive. I also use a food processor to grind up their food to aide digestion. They have been eating plants for 2 years now and they are incredibly healthy.
would you feed them plant based food over commercial dogfood?
Cleo Price same as me (I’m 11 tho 😂) I am vegetarian but my cats/dogs eat meat because they need it to be healthy
Omg the pollution, i had no idea
people have no idea how much eating meat impacts the world. this is why im vegetarian
You should watch cowspiracy.
What most people don't realise is that if we stop eating meat we have to produce more plant based foods which will make them the leading green house gas producers....
@The Lord Have you considered watching the video before commenting ?
Plant based foods produce 5 times less CO2 than meat per kg. And 1kg of meat actually uses several (up to 10) kg of plantbased foods in cattel feed. SO. No, it would decrease the amount of plant based foods and drastically and output significantly less CO2.
So flying planes would become the leading green house gas producer :)
Balder Again you avoid the point.
Let me make it simple.
1.) The number of live animals will increase as we are not allowed to prevent a species from reproducing or to control its population through slaughter without gain.
2.)Plant based foods are dependent on climate. Therefore he has not factored in the additional production of green house gases via transport.
3.) He also didn't include the large numbers of chemicals requiered to sustain crops, which also produce green house gases in their production. (*This is the major point most people miss*)
4.) Cars produce more greenhouse gases than planes :)

There's no way everybody would give up meat. No matter how beneficial it would be for the environment. With that said, I read that scientist have successfully grown a steak in a lab through stem cells that proved to be healthier than a traditional steak, taste the same too. What if in the distant future, everybody had stem cell growing machines in our homes? And greenhouses in our backyards? With no need for massive amounts of farms, imagine all that land going back to nature? It's a future i'd like to see :)
Test tube meat is probably the only hope we have for the immediate future as far as animal welfare and agricultural demands go. There's a lot of money being invested into this, even by big meat producers like Smithfield. It's going to take a while for them to bring the cost down, though, as it's just too expensive to make right now. Plus, they still have to work out some kinks on the texture because they have some problems reproducing the feel of regular meat. Something about the tendons or muscles.
But I look forward to seeing lab grown meat in supermarkets within my lifetime.

Did you get vegetarian and vegan mixed up? Vegetarian is just no meat but vegan is no meat or animal products. You kept talking about how there wouldn’t be any livestock but you’re forgot about the amount of animal products there are, (e.g. cheese, leather, jello, chocolate, etc.)
surfie007 I think you've got them slightly mixed up as well. Vegetarians won't eat/use things that require an animal to be slaughtered. So a global conversion to vegetarianism would eliminate some of the products you mentioned, namely leather and jello
surfie007 well regardless both sides are actually terrible for the environment and neither will be beneficial to the environment should we actually switch to one or the other there are too much existing problems to sort out first

Plant cultivating provides more jobs than animal cultivating and produces more energy per centimeter. This is several folds larger if you use a complex and dynamic agriculture system - Permaculture
permaculture requires animals! Animals or chemicals are the ONLY ways possible to grow plants on a large scale! & 10% of the planet's land can grow plants, 37% is currently used for farming, you CANNOT convert that other land to grow crops that are edible to mono-gastrics
So you’re a vegetarian

I'm not against eating meat. Im against industrial farming.
I believe we should hunt for any meat that we eat & to moderate the amount of meat that we eat. Not every meal needs to have meat in it. You don't even need it every day. I personally eat meat about 2-3 times a week & it's working well for me but that is just my own experience. Don't change your diet because of something you read on the internet.

I’m 15 and I decided to go vegetarian and it’s been amazing, I wanna go vegan but it’s not that easy since I’ve been a meat eater my whole life but I’m planning to go vegan in the future, I’m currently trying to eat less dairy and eggs but it’s hard for me because I really don’t like the way plant based milk tastes, but I’ll get used to it I guess.
more ethical to switch the chicken/eggs/milk for insect flours than to stop all animal product eating :)
If you have a house, see if you can get your parents to let you get a pet chicken too for ethical eggs instead of giving them up :) You can even adopt a "spent hen" (a former caged chicken) if you want to be REALLY ethical about it
Same
Well I suggest you to first stop consuming meat, but keep eating eggs, dairy products and so on that we get by nature not killing animals. And then slowly, if you wanna be a full veg, you can stop consuming them too.
I know bro it's so hard, specially dairy some how it's everywhere , and to be fair it's tastes good, it took me 1 year to just cut off dairy. It's so hard , but possible.

If everyone went vegetarian we would go extinct because to grow enough produce to feed the entire world population would require mass deforestation, plus pesticides going into the oceans at more concentrated levels killing sea life. Not to mention different parts of the world have different seasons and thus produce prices would sky rocket with even the slightest loss of crop in that year. I mean 71 percent of the world is water, 22 percent is desert so you do the math with what's left.

Not so simple
In any case, even if plant-based diets can in theory provide the nutrients people need, as long as they are supplemented with critical micronutrients (such as vitamin B12 and certain long-chain fatty acids), that is not to say that in practice shifting people towards them will not result in a great many people following poorly balanced diets and suffering ill health in consequence. And when a vegan diet fails, for instance due to poor supplementation, it may result in serious physical and cognitive impairment and failure to thrive.
The approach seems particularly risky during pregnancy and for the very young, as also documented by a long list of clinical case reports in medical literature. Animal products are exceptionally nutrient-dense dietary sources - removing them from the diet compromises metabolic robustness. Without sufficient insight in the complexities of nutrition and human metabolism, it is easy to overlook important issues as the proportion of nutrients that can be absorbed from the diet, nutrient interactions and protein quality.
The same debate needs to be had when it comes to consideration of the environmental question. Too fast or radical a shift towards “plant-based” diets risks losing realistic and achievable goals, such as increasing the benefits of natural grazing and embracing farming techniques that reduce the wasteful feeding of crops to animals, lower climate impact and enhance biodoversity.
A shift towards a radically plant-based planetary diet loses the many benefits of livestock - including its deployment on land that is not suitable for crop production, its contribution to livelihoods, and the many other benefits that animals provide. It mistakenly assumes that land use can be swiftly altered and ignores the potential of farming techniques that may even have mitigating effects.
Sustainable, ecological and harmonious animal production really should be part of the solution of the “world food problem”, considered from both the nutritional and environmental scenarios. The Earth is an extraordinarily complex ecosystem - any one-size-fits-all solution risks wreaking havoc with it.

I simply wanted to correct you when you said 70% eat meat only at special occasions. That is wrong and misleading. Only some of the 70% eat meat on special occasions, the rest have no problem eating meat as regular part of their diet
hoohag well you are in south. The senario is different here. First in our country their are people who can’t afford meat. Secondly you must be young. Youngster consume meat every day but as they grow up the amount of meat they eat keep on decreasing. I have personally experienced. And when they get old meat consumption almost stops. And by the way major population of India is in Ganga belt and that’s the area which is conjusted and is in north.
I don't think it's special occasions anymore. As people have started doing better for themselves, they've started consuming more meat. And sadly, a lot of my Indian friends fell into the myth that you need to a lot of chicken to build muscle which is simply not true. That's why they say that meat consumption in the world is going to increase dramatically as people in countries like India start adopting a lifestyle similar to Americans who consume meat with almost every meal

There are a lot of good substitutes for meat that taste really good. I think if people were slightly more open-minded then being vegetarian/vegan would be a lot more common.
True.
Not all people can eat everything unfortunately, that’s what many vegans forget. Many have severe IBS, crohns and have gluten intolerance too. Me for example my IBS is bad I can’t eat soybeans, lentils, chickpeas or beans, I can’t eat wheat, garlic, onion, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, apples, pears, some nuts and so much more. I would have deficiency of something if I went vegan. I really wish I could eat everything above, would have made my decision to stop eating meat so much easier.

As a reginitive farmer raising grass fed grass finished beef Along with many other types of animals in the meat production. I truly believe if people would look to regenerative farms rather than factory farms they would see a massive difference in the way things are done.
On our farm not only do we not use sprays or chemical fertilizers But we also never have to plow Or break the soil in any way to Produce healthy meat. We don't have to start a tractor to harvest the food. The cows harvest all the food themselves We don't have to start a tractor to plant food. The way we graze the cows the plants continue to grow on their own We rarely use tractors or trucks or diesel of any kind. We literally increase the amount of carbon in our soil annually. And because of this carbon increase the nutrient quality and mineral quality of our soil steadily goes up instead of down But not only that we are able to plant fruit and nut trees And all sorts of fruits and vegetables because of the Organic fertility the animals provide. there's really no limit to what we can do in this model. the marriage of plants and animals is far more complex and so much more necessary than people will ever understand. the symbiotic relationship Is vital to our long term success in healthy soils. not to mention that the best way to keep from monocultures And monoculture farming. Is regenitive Agriculture And more specifically agriforesty. I will be the 1st to agree that the current farming practices Are not the best ways that we can Be doing. I will also say that if you look in history then you will understand that the current practices were created out of necessity. And lack of knowledge. The reality is with regenerative farming we are learning that the best way to farm land and raise food is in a system that is as close to nature as possible. We are learning that with billions of people on the Earth we are changing the ecosystem and the way things are With farming. But through Regenitive farming we can raise food in a way that is very close to nature leaving thousands of acres as close to nature as possible. The only way you can truly do this is through meat and fruits and vegetables nuts and seeds. with a well balanced diet. So that we can create biodiversity in our soils. the problem with being vegan or vegetarian or carnivore or any special restrictive diet Is that we're only looking at the health of the human And not understanding the health of the soil. Plus you have to ask yourself one very big question where would all of the animals go if we all became vegans today?
and you're providing habitats & food for the pollinators too :)
There are so many deer turkey spiders earthworms bees etc. On our farm it's amazing
The percentage is more in India
I was born an indian carni :v
I've been trying hard to go vegetarian because of ethical and religious reasons though
As for environmental reasons, we might face new set of problems if everyone went vegetarian.. so that's not the reason i'm going vegetarian, fertility of soil will be decreased, we'll be using up EVEN MORE land for plant agriculture.. while one animal can feed an entire family it takes several crops of feed that family
I'll have to take supplements if I went vegan, so that's not that much of a health benefit.. going vegetarian is okay for me
If you i'd really have to change things for environmental reasons, I'd start off with switching to clean energy

BOI is "Male Cow" in portuguese.
Joshua Figuera When we get rid of farm animals, there will be more space to grow crops, so mor food. Also, raising an animal costs more food than eating the plant fed to the animal because not 100% of an animal's food is turned into meat. A lot of energy from the food you feed animals is lost through the movement of the animal and its body heat. It is more efficient to directly eat the grown crops.
WhyShouldIEvenListenToYou The reason most of what he said is incorrect is that when we reduce the number of meats we eat we must increase the numbere of plant based foods which by percentage actually produce more greenhouse gasses as CO2 that is not used in respiration is released when they're "killed". Secondly, if we stop eating meat *we cant just slaughter the animals* so there will be more live stock (in fact too much live stock) that take up *more land and more of our food* and that will cause greater financial strain on people and will most likely cause many to go homeless and poverty to increase. *This was a very bias video*
I fail to understand that cultivating crops will release more CO2 than farming animals, since feeding those animals take up these crops in the first place which they don't convert to meat with 100% efficiency so you'd need to cultivate less crops to feed the same amount of people if they don't est meat which in turn results in less greenhouse gas emissions. At least, that is what seems the most logical to me. Secondly, if we stop eating meat we *can just reduce the population of livestock and use these as the last ones we'll ever have to eat.* so we will win back more land for more crops. Of course, you are absolutely right that quite some people will lose their jobs and perhaps fall into poverty, but we can try to help them as much as we can. The conversion will probably create many job positions and if still some people will become poor and lose their jobs, *isn't it a small utilitarian trade-off for a better sustainable society for generations to come?*
WhyShouldIEvenListenToYou You avoided the point. What i meant was the difference in the green house emissions for both processes is marginal because of the different course of production (i.e plants require certain chemicals to icrease yield which to produce them take up mass resources). This will mean the green house emissions will balance out. If you had common sense you would realise we cant control the population of a species without practical use as no vegans will allow it let alone PETA and all those plebs. We will have more animals than now that all must be fed and given land to live on which take up our resources without any benefit to us. There will be a huge rise in spread of disease as recent studies show that GM crops cause mutations and potential production of viruses. The majority of vegans recieve a vitamin overdose as they cant correctly balance their diet and which will inevitably shorten their lives. Most importantly, no one wants to be poorer than we are now especially when the gap between the lower and upper class is increasing by the day. *I have nothing agains vegans, but I have problems with people displaying a bias argument to try and force their belief/ways on other people and displaying it as a factual video with "no stand point"*
I went vegan a few months ago and couldn't handle it. so i went vegetarian. and its suiting me perfectly. i will never go back to eating meat again.
I've been vegetarian for over a year now and it has seriously improved everything in my life. I always suggest that the biggest step you can take without going fully veggie is to stop or reduce your red meat consumption AND buy from local, ethical farms!
don't get conned by feed conversion ratios. Chickens might only need 1.6kgs of food to produce 1kg of meat, but that 1.6kgs of food is food we could have eaten. A cow might need 6kgs of food to produce 1kg of meat, but their food is grass that we can't eat & consequently, when managed properly, it's generally a better option than the chickens. Insects are better still, they need 1kg of food to produce 1kg of "meat" & they can eat the same food as the cows to achieve that, but if you're not going to eat insects, consider the advantages of a rumen (cows, sheep etc) for fermenting crop waste & grass into usable energy.
Look up "holistic grazing" to learn the environmental benefits of properly managed cows etc too & yes, definitely buy local & ethical & buy from local hunters too, killing animals like feral pigs with shooting instead of poisoning for crop protection.
Chickens make awesome pets too & give eggs while doing so
@@lilaclizard4504 chicken's Feed conversion ratio is 1.9, that's like you get 1kg chicken for 2 kg of grains
And cattle is even worse, it's around 8, that means for every 8kg of fodder a cow eats it produces 1 kg of meat, as far as grass goes, you can just use that grassland to grow food crops 😐

@@AbhijeetKumar-cm3jh part 3
Oil seed crop waste is the primary food used for chickens, with surplus once all chickens on the planet are fed then being used as pig & fish food in addition to chicken food, cause burning it causes major lung problems, so feeding it to chickens is the best way to dispose of it. The more you want to switch from animal fats to vegetable oil, the more need there is for chickens to eat the waste you create.

One factor you seem to have forgotten is that lots of live stock live on lands that are not suitable for plant growing.
Also I must counter the foot point, on where yes slots of plant and vegetable matter goes to live stock, it is often Parts of the plant that we ourselves could not eat. Such as the actual leaves from a corn plant or the the majority of wheat plant (as we can only eat about 2 percent or less, depending on the type of wheat.)
Farmers are also trying to find ways to not use so much feed anyway. Farmers have started doing research into using the wheat by-products from brewers as feed. As it is highly nutriocius and would be thrown away otherwise

So that's why I posted something, to try and get people to stop and thing about the other side. If only for a minute.
Don’t forget about the topsoil destroyed to produce all of the plants we eat. And the chemicals that are washing into the ecosystem around farms from fertilizers and pesticides. My honest opinion on how to combat all of this isn’t going vegetarian. My opinion is that we should try to return to natural farming ways with free roaming cattle that feed on grass which solves the problem of all of the plants used to feed them, it reduces methane they produce dramatically, and it helps to restore natural ecosystems which in turn returns valuable nutrients to the soil which means you can have a crop rotation that allows us to farm without the use of fertilizers. I’m currently doing more research on this as I’m doing a research paper. This is honestly super interesting to me
have you heard of & researched "holistic grazing"/"intensive managed rotational grazing"? also "pasture cropping" I think both would really interest you if you haven't already found them
Imagine not being able to drink milk.
How will I eat my bowl of nails?
Fo4 Re7 almond milk
Coconut milk, almond milk, soya milk
Vegetarians are allowed to drink milk, eat eggs and cheese etc. Just not meat. Vegans aren't allowed to eat any form of animal products
Without any milk like a real man!
@@Pearlsua i am a vegetariam too! And recently started drinking more almond milk. And cutting out dairy. It is amazing😍😍 Waaayy better than milk
All the Vegans out there...
Cheers.!!
Khushal Sancheti i can’t imagine how weak vegans are, they can barley get protein
Khushal Sancheti i don’t think you know that being vegans have higher chances that have alzheimer’s disease, look it up
rather eat meat then develope early on set alziemers and get blood clot's more often due to the lack of heme-iron you guys get which is only in red meat as it is easier to absorbe then the iron you get from veggies.
Deranged Monkeys Per calorie, broccoli has more protein than beef, which about 4.5 grams per 30 calories. Broccoli is also packed with amino acids, fiber, Vitamin B6 to improve your mood and is one of the best vegetables linked to fighting cancer.
breakaway, but does it fight alziemers or blood clots, because that's what vegans are more likely to get than meat eaters due to their diet.
I don't have any say in Infographics choices, but I've always wanted to see a comparison of Switzerland vs. Everyone Else as an April Fool's Day joke
Not only is being vegetarian better for the world, it also allows you to be in better shape and be stronger than meat eaters
But remember, not everyone can be vegan/vegetarian.
Love your channel! I always think about things I never thought before!
Non vegetarian is not a problem but the industrialization of meat is
adish gupta but non-vegetarians eat the mean causing it to become industrialized...
megablue222 I‘ts actually just the overconsumig culture and the dislocality of the meat market.. still we can not singlehandedly change the whole system, not eating meat is therefore our best option
But no ones ready to talk about that yet 🙄
It's the fact that they're over-killing animals just for most of the meat to be tossed/thrown away. Only a small portion of meat is actually purchased and consumed.
The fact that you think you are helping animals is funny.
I think that balance is key and extremes don't work. Instead of being vegan we could treat our animals for eating better, eat a fraction of them, and eat more plant foods. We are all so different and a diet for one person won't work for everyone else.
In addition I don't think humans realize just how alive plants are and dismiss the fact we kill and eat them. Plants communicate with other plants and insects, they sense when they are being harmed and release signals for help, they breathe, they drink, they move away from negative stimuli and much more. In my opinion we should not look at the human race as so much different and instead treat all of our food sources with love and respect. When we eat them be thankful for what we eat and don't over consume. Life is about balance and not extremes. 😄 Happy New year
I eat only chicken or fish only on weekends and my plate is always more veggies and rice and wheat products ive tried vegetarian diet and im an indian tried different type of pulses , grams , green leafy veggies salads and milk and cottage cheese but i got severe gas, headaches , indigestion etc ethen i reduced the spices and mentally i was irritated and unhappy so i stopped it and went back to my previous diet with moderate amount of fish and chicken now im better so the key is eat everything in moderation
Yeah but sadly humans aren't like that, people used to eat a small portion of their animals but with the greed and economy today, they are now basically only alive for eating... hopefully we'll mature up
@@mishkaparashar3170 or stay immature and go the other way and eat like a horse because it's trendy and the internet told you to do it!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
In our culture, being vegan is start from when a baby comes to this cruel world. And they grow very healthy, smart, and strong. 💪🏿
Which culture is that if you don't mind saying? Sounds really interesting 🙈
@@michelemeisinger1609 from Buddhist, and have been shared to many countries about this culture, but not all join it, because they love meats too much 😢
So they don't consume milk or honey either? In our culture we don't consume animal products either, buthoney and dairy is considered very pure... (its a part of the satvic diet)
Smile :D well, some they dont comsume milk or honey, some they do.. mine is do :D
Sorry what do you mean by "smart" humans need cooked meats to be smarter
I will be counting the days I've left to live...
*Americans love their meat.*
Why'd that sound so weird to me...
Mada Rashad they like to beat their meat

properly seasoned meat tastes amazing, that's what ;)

Vegetarians: Im eating the thing the food that eats your food, you can thank me now or later for all the plants I saved.
I think you mean *non vegetarians xD
The changes would have been introduced slowely but it would be super awesome
“It seems you’ve given me the food my food eats”
People : Animal gas are dangerous
Pesticide and Fertilizer : Are we a joke to you ?
Being vegetarian dairy free makes me feel better and I feel I appreciate the world around me more. 😊
I just imaging if,....if aliens come to earth n start eating us.... Just joking 😅😅😅
We are making a grave yard in our own stomachs......
👀
A graveyard of plants? I mean, they live too, right?
This comment section is literally the reason why people say vegans can't go two minutes without telling someone their vegan.
I haven’t said I’m vegan for 2 months
Expect now
You should respect people for what they eat
