Facts on our Food related Issues

  1. It takes 10 pounds (4.5 kilograms) of grain and between 2500 - 5000 gallons (9.500 - 19.000 liter) of water to produce 1 pound (0,5 Kg) beef.
  2. By eating a 1/4 pound of beef, you are destroying 67 square feet (6.3 square meter) of rain forest
  3. Every year approximately 1 million calves are tortured for sake of veal production
  4. There are roughly 250 million hens in US egg factories that supplies 95% of the eggs in this country. The chicks are sorted at birth and newborn males are separated and suffocated in trash bag

What can we do now?

In my opinion, things I can do is starting from my self :

  1. Not to waste food
  2. Eats limited amounts of beef
  3. Buying Bio or Organic-Products
  4. Starts promoting this information to you


To get detailed information of this issue, you can see video from Peter Singer - Author of the book “The Way We Eat: Why our food choices matter”.
