Meat consumption

In the history of humankind, we had never consumed meat in these immense quantities.
Meat has many important vitamins and nutrients that we need for repairing our bodies
but because we eat meat so much it causes this big environmental impact that becomes
a problem for everyone, daily we make about 60 tons of garbage, equal to 15 big trucks
filled with pollutants, that is a lot!
As I mentioned in the past; consuming meat is a significant part of our daily plate
it has essential vitamins and nutrients vital for our bodies, however with all the benefits,
it possesses it causes harm too. Let's recognize why!
It is scientifically proven that meat is cancerogenic meaning it causes various
types of cancer; it has become dangerous to consume meat because the vast majority
of times we do not get any information on what conditions where and when the animal
was raised, the meat can contain contamination with various diseases because the
animal is not always properly vaccinated. The other side of meat consumption as I
mentioned above was the effects on the environment, such as the effects on water
consumption. Enormous amounts of water are demanded the animals to grow and even
more to water the plants they feed upon, as we consume more we need more animals,
therefore, more space and that causes deforestation.
I am not a vegetarian nor I am advocating the vegetarian lifestyle; I identify the problem
and I understand that we need to solve it because we can afford not to eat meat but we
can not afford to lose the planet we call home.
