Health editor Jeremy Laurance of United Kingdom’s “The Independent” has said that if people adopt the vegetarian (vegan) diet, global starvation and conflicts over food would end. Regarding the growth of biofuel crops, he also stated, “While 100 million tons of grain are being diverted to make fuel this year, over seven times as much (760 million tons) will be used to feed animals.” Mr. Laurance further affirmed that Britain could feed her entire population on half the land currently being farmed, if everyone were to become vegan.

Mr. Laurance, we thank you for the service you provide to readers through your writings such as these. We pray that all people will a adopt vegetarian (vegan) diet to provide food in plenty and preserve our planet.
