Welcome to my blog. This year, I decided to go vegan diet and I want to share my vegan diet journey with you. Ellen Fisher is a well know raw food vegan advocate, and she inspired me to go for
1) For my health
As many posts I read and personal experience becomes a vegan diet increased my energy, give me younger looking skin and eternal youth with all the natural and rich in vitamin foods. Well, eternal youth might be a bit optimistic, but there are certainly many scientifically proven benefits of vegan living when compared to the average western diet.
2) For Animal
Regard vegan society report that “In over 95% of animal are killed prematurely.”
-Pigs are slaughtered when they have reached a certain weight, which will be later in organic systems than in intensive farms, but they are typically killed between 4-6 months of age, while they could reach 15 years.
-Broiler chicks are just 6 weeks old and grown too rapidly to sustain their own weight and heart when they are killed. Chickens could live to 10 years old.
3) For Environment
The production of meat and other animal products places a heavy burden on the environment - from crops and water required to feed the animals, to the transport and other processes involved from farm to fork. The vast amount of grain feed required for meat production is a significant contributor to deforestation, habitat loss and species extinction. In Brazil alone, the equivalent of 5.6 million acres of land is used to grow soya beans for animals in Europe. While the world’s population has doubled since the 1960s, world meat production has quadrupled. In certain areas, livestock production has increased massively; there are now 4 and a half times as many tonnes of pig produced in 2013 compared to 1961, while world chicken production has increased by nearly 13 times – that’s a whopping 1180% increase.
