You Can't Be A True Environmentalist And Still Eat Animal Products

When I ate animal meat and dairy I tried to help the environment by recycling more, turning off lights and by not wasting water. But actually the thing that would have benefited the world the most was to change the food I was eating. An example is that it takes a crazy huge amount more water to produce animal meat and dairy than it does to make plant foods.

200kg of boneless beef - 3,100,000 litres of water
200kg of chicken - 890,000 litres of water
200kg of rice - 490,00 litres of water

My fresh perspective is now re-inforced everytime I watch the film cowspiracy, or visit their huge fact lists,

Logically when you look at all the facts, as Howard Lyman says 'You can't call yourself an environmentalist and meat. Period'.
