If everyone makes an effort to go vegan we could reduce the number of greenhouse gasses produced each year drastically and we could sustain our whole population. Multiple blog posts and documentaries I've seen have stated that the amount of feed for cattle we currently produce has enough calories to feed around 8-9 billion people worldwide, this could easily sustain everyone on the planet. This is crazy to me because there are about 800 million people starving for no reason. A plant-based diet uses far less resource than a meat-heavy diet.

I'm agree with you ! And I would like to add that animals would not suffer anymore.

It’s really hard goin vegan , it takes a lot of sacrifice and dedication

I agree with what your saying. Going vegan is a lot of sacrifice and takes dedication. Making this choice is a good option. The government spends over $700 billion dollars on military each year. Ending world hunger each year only cost $30 billion dollars. The government needs to figure out the priorities which is ending world hunger. Meaning, providing sustainable farms that are local, so people can eat healthier. If people do decide not to eat animals such as cattle and pig this cuts down factory usage which also cuts down the amount of fuel and toxins that effect each person carbon footprint.

I see what you are saying, and veganism is a completely valid point. I agree with the idea that a plant-based diet uses far fewer resources than a meat-heavy diet.  However, there are many caveats to veganism.  One is the loss of vital nutrients for brain development. Two of the most important foods for brain development are eggs and fish- both of which are strictly out of a vegan diet. Eggs contain choline, a vital nutrient that aids brain function and development. Fish contain OMEGA3/DHA and EPA, both of which are also vital to brain function and development.  While someone can get similar nutrients to these from a plant-based diet, they would need to eat a much larger quantity and as a result, there may not be enough for a substantial amount of people to live as vegans.  Finally, the hunting/farming/fishing for animals keeps many populations of animals in check.  Whilst it does put many species endangered, it keeps many from overpopulating and wrecking an ecosystem.  For example, in the English Channel, manta rays overpopulated and wiped out the oyster and shellfish p opulation, not only ruining the ocean ecosystem in the channel for a brief period but also putting many English fisheries out of business.

Your point about nutrition is completely valid. Going vegan definitely requires you to be conscious of your nutrition, but it is completely possible, albeit harder to get the nutrients. As for your point about there not being enough quantities of similar plant-based nutrients for a substantial amount of people to live as vegans, if people slowly started growing more plants and raising less animals, eventually there would be more supply of these plant-based nutrients to make plant-based diets feasible for more and more people. In addition, a gradual transition from livestock raising to plant growing would minimize the job loss associated with a sudden switch. In this model, ideally, the first farms to switch over to producing plants would be factory farms, which have more money than other farms, and so would be able to make the switch more quickly than other farms. Besides, in general, factory farms pollute more than other farms and treat their animals more poorly. In addition, humans grow a lot of plants to feed livestock, mainly cattle, so if we stop raising cattle and  other livestock, as well as dedicate the land formerly used for the raising of livestock to growing crops, we would conceivably be able to end world hunger. As for your last point about hunting and fishing, I haven't really thought up a solution for that yet. Good point. If anyone has ideas, can you please comment them?

I see what you are trying to point out. Eating more greens then meat would reduce our greenhouse gasses by a lot. I see the convenience of a plant-based diet, but I also see some significant inconsistencies. Like for example, eating mainly green foods would help you lost weight in which the average human body cannot just take in greens. Our bodies need carbs and other energy resources. Sure, eating green may save the government a little more money, but isn't that what we pay them to do. We pay them to feed the population with healthy and edible food. I'm not saying that eating only greens is terrible, but if we could figure out a healthy diet that contained both meat and plants that would be a significant jump to help reduce greenhouse gases. Reducing more greenhouse gases would make the atmosphere include less CO2 and unable to destroy the ozone layer.

I completely agree! In an ideal world, this would be the perfect solution. It makes me think about how many people eat meat currently though, and how hard it would be to stop. It is a struggle to go vegan, however; you make a valid point it reducing the amount of greenhouse gasses in our environment. I believe that if people begin to promote this idea enough, people may reduce the amount of meat they eat and may be more aware of it. Hopefully we can begin by just reducing the amount of meat we eat, and see where it takes us!

If everyone went vegan, it would definitely reduce the amount of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. I think it's a nice concept but realistically not possible for everyone to go vegan. It would help emit less greenhouse gases into our atmosphere and also stop animal cruelty. But I just don't think it's possible for everyone to drop meat from their diets. Some people can't get vegetables and fruits everyday or can't afford it. For kids, it's especially important for them to have calcium but they can't get that without dairy. They could have bone deficiency or worse. Also, a meat and dairy free diet would not provide sufficient amounts of vitamin A and B12 . You wouldn't get enough iron or omega 3 fatty acids. You can take supplements I suppose but I don't think it would  be healthy to just drop meat and dairy completely. I think people should strive to eat less meat but not cut it out entirely.

I agree that the world would benefit if everyone was vegan. It would save many animals, and reduce the amount of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. However, meat is an important protein, and very affordable, especially for children. So I also don't believe a vegan world would be possible.

I agree that going vegan can definitely change, and benefits the world we live in. However, going vegan is a big life change and would require lots of time, and available resources. It would be hard for all people to make sure that they get the proper nutrition. Looking beyond that, veganism helps the world, the animals, and the people who live in it. Overall, going vegan would definitely do more good than harm.
