Concerns about agriculture’s negative impact on the environment and its substantial role in climate change have driven many people to turn to vegetarian and vegan diets. Fruits and vegetables use considerably less water and fuel to produce, saving natural resources and creating fewer greenhouse gas emissions. Plants also take up a fraction of the land livestock does.
EarthSave says it takes “2,500 gallons of water, 12 pounds of grain, 35 pounds of topsoil and the energy equivalent of one gallon of gasoline to produce one pound of feedlot beef.” That is a lot of resources that could be allocated more efficiently.
According to Popular Science Magazine, to grow 100 calories of beef, potatoes, and broccoli, it takes 1000, 38, and 10 liters of water, respectively.
For a detailed discussion about the environmental impact of raising livestock and the benefits of a plant-based diet, read this from Global Issues, with commentary from some of the most reliable sources in the industry.

Your body is host to 100 trillion or more microbes. That’s more than the human cells in your body. In fact, we now know you have more microbes in your body than there are stars in our Milky Way galaxy.
Since medical school, I’ve been fascinated by this ecosystem we carry around. But back then there was no name for it. Today, we call it the “microbiome.”
And now, exciting new research reveals that women with breast cancer had dramatically different microbes than women with benign breast disease. Women with cancer also had more microbes in their breasts. And the microbiome from cancer sites was significantly different from normal tissue just inches away in the same woman.
Mayo Clinic researchers used DNA sequencing to analyze breast tissue from 33 women. They identified striking differences in the breast bacteria of women with and without breast cancer. They found that the inside of your breast is a complex microbial world. And it’s much different from the skin tissue just outside your breast.
