combined.

This year, 5 million of them will die of starvation.

A total of 60% of grain is grown to feed farmed animals.

it takes up to 13 pounds of grain

to produce just 1 pound of meat

If people were to eat the grain itself, an entire village would be fed instead of only one family.

Using an acre to raise cattle for slaughter gives people only 20 pounds of meat

that same amount of land would grow

365 pounds of protein rich soybeans

17 times more people could be saved from starvation

The average American receives

27%

of theircalories

from animal products

If everyone on earth ate this way,

3.2 billion people would have food to eat

When you eat meat, she doesn’t eat.

Make the connection: Save animals and people.

Raising animals for meat is an inefficient use of land that could be used for growing crops for people to eat. The food that is used to feed animals who are then slaughtered for meat would feed more people if they ate the crops directly.

The facts speak for themselves. If the entire world became vegan, there would be enough food to feed us all.
