An article by Chris Holbein of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), points out that 40 million tons of food could resolve the needs of the approximately 854 million people who are going hungry in the world today. Yet, humans instead feed 760 million tons to farmed animals that will eventually be killed. In the US alone, the grains and soybeans being fed to innocent cattle could feed 1.4 billion people.

As The Guardian’s George Monbiot said about veganism, “[I]t now seems plain that it’s the only ethical response to what is arguably the world’s most urgent social justice issue.”
You have our sincere gratitude, Mr. Holbein and the many websites that have shared this information. We pray that people quickly switch to a plant-based diet for all beings’ adequate sustenance and to restore the balance of our Earth.
