Part of the Solution or Part of the Problem …<br />
(07/15/20<strong>17</strong>)<br />
As the global population surges <strong>to</strong>wards a predicted 9 billion+ people by 2050,<br />
it is becoming increasingly clear that human cravings for meat and dairy products are<br />
now completely unsustainable ... Indeed, a recent report from the United Nations<br />
Environment Programme's international panel on sustainable resource management<br />
quite definitively noted that impacts from agriculture on the global environment as a<br />
whole are going <strong>to</strong> increase substantially as the human population expands -- and as<br />
its demand for animal products expands concurrently, noting that, ‗A substantial<br />
reduction of these impacts will only be possible with a substantial worldwide diet<br />
change; [specifically a shift] away from [consuming] animal products.‘ So, seeing as<br />
how it has been incontrovertibly proven that animal agriculture is the primary cause<br />
of the Earth's current state of decay (and its imminent loss of the ability <strong>to</strong> sustain<br />
sentient life), and seeing as how every non-vegan directly funds and thereby directly<br />
supports the animal agriculture industry, the question must be posed:<br />
Are you currently a part of the problem … or part of the solution?<br />
