The best way to end poverty on the planet comprises the following steps:

1) Go vegan

Yes, it's really that easy. Why?

  • Meat production uses more water than crops
  • Meat production uses more land than crops
  • Meat production results in more pollution and greenhouse gas production than crops (causing more expensive problems to fix)
  • Meat causes diseases like cancer, heart disease, diabetes and stroke, even more expensive problems to fix
  • Meat requires more energy (in production, transport and storage) than crops
  • The crops fed to farm animals in the US alone could feed over a billion people directly.

The completely inefficient process of feeding perfectly good food to animals to eat much later on makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Fight poverty, fight greed, fight global warming, fight pollution; go vegan.
