- 健康。一项由哈佛大学对数万名男女进行的研究发现，经常吃肉会增加罹患结肠癌的风险达300%。事实上，肉食与心脏病、糖尿病、中风、癌症和肥胖等主要疾病有关。纯素饮食明显有利于防止和逆转这些情况。（责任医疗医师委员会〔Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine〕）
- 世界饥荒问题。如果大家都吃蔬食，将有足够的粮食来喂饱100亿人口。
- 经济。若人们改采纯素饮食，世界各国政府就可节省2050年前抗暖化所需费用的80%，也就是省下32兆美元。（荷兰环境评估委员会）
- 如果美国中西部的农民从畜牧业转换为种植水果和蔬菜，将会产生8.82亿美元的区域销售额，创造9,300个就业机会，并增加3.95亿美元的劳动收入。
- 生产蔬菜替代肉类产品，被视为是食品业一个聪明而有吸引力的机会。（古德兰）
- 联合国建议徵收肉品税。 联合国粮农组织发布的一份报告建议徵收肉品税，以减少这个产业的温室气体排放，目前估计畜牧业每年排放7万亿吨的二氧化碳。
- 联合国环境规划署和欧盟执委会呼吁少吃肉。联合国环境规划署和欧盟执委会联合发表一份重要的报告，要求彻底改变资源使用的方式，并强调全球必须大幅减少肉品消费，以避免对环境造成毁灭性的影响。
