However meat consumption is increasing in certain segments of the population. There is no guarantee this trend will continue especially since itโ€™s unhealthy to eat so much of it.

The meat industry is heavily subsidized by governments of the world and is not sustainable with our planetary resources, we cannot keep clearing Amazonian forests for cattle ranching.

Itโ€™s important to note that the use of fur has dropped dramatically in recent years.

Eating meat is not unhealthy.

Eating too much of anything is unhealthy, but having chicken and eggs in your diet is certainly not unhealthy.
