so, i had posted this awhile ago over at the Debate spot and it got hardly any response at all. i had tailored it a bit over there, so i'm posting my original essay here. hopefully it'll get a better reception from more like-minded people :).
"Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet..."
- Albert Einstein
Raising livestock for human consumption has innumerable ramifications on the environment and to human health. Livestock is responsible for the consumption huge amounts of land, water, and resources, as well as vast amounts of waste and pollution. Furthermore, the correlation between meat consumption and various diseases has been well documented - proving vegetarians to be healthier and have longer lives. Thus, questioning how much meat you eat and reducing your consumption will not only significantly reduce your ecological footprint, but may improve your health, prevent against disease, and improve the lives of countless other animals.
