for Musings & Whiteboard Shots

Tuesday, March 31, 2015

After watching the video, I was fully sure that my decision to be a vegan was a good choice. Meats and dairy products are so bad for you. If you eliminate all animal products from your diet, you can cut out all dietary cholesterol levels which is fat made by the liver out of fatty foods that we eat. Ever since I made this decision to have a vegan lifestyle, I've honestly felt so much more energized. I used to sleep about 8 hours a night and still feel super tired the next day but now, I only sleep around 6 hours a night since I have zero period but I feel so much more energized the next day. A vegan lifestyle also saves the environment a lot of energy. For example, A study at Cornell revealed that chicken meat production consumes energy in a 4:1 ratio and beef cattle production requires an energy input to protein output ratio of 54:1. Cattle consumes 16 times more grain than they produce as meat, so we have 16 times as much energy to just grow those crops that we waste on livestock. We also save a lot of water by not eating animal products. A pound of potatoes takes 99.6% less water to produce than a pound of beef and 97% less than a pound of chicken. If showering was given up, it would save less water than what’s required to make a single pound of beef because a year’s worth of showers is 5200 gallons of water and it takes 5214 gallons to produce the one pound of beef. Now I'm not here to force people to change their views or anything because I don't want to be annoying like other vegans do but it's just something to think about.
