- 健康。一項由哈佛大學對數萬名男女進行的研究發現,經常吃肉會增加罹患結腸癌的風險達300%。事實上,肉食與心臟病、糖尿病、中風、癌症和肥胖等主要疾病有關。純素飲食明顯有利於防止和逆轉這些情況。(責任醫療醫師委員會〔Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine〕)
- 世界饑荒問題。如果大家都吃蔬食,將有足夠的糧食來餵飽100億人口。
- 經濟。若人們改採純素飲食,世界各國政府就可節省2050年前抗暖化所需費用的80%,也就是省下32兆美元。(荷蘭環境評估委員會)
- 如果美國中西部的農民從畜牧業轉換為種植水果和蔬菜,將會產生8.82億美元的區域銷售額,創造9,300個就業機會,並增加3.95億美元的勞動收入。
- 生產蔬菜替代肉類產品,被視為是食品業一個聰明而有吸引力的機會。(古德蘭)
- 聯合國建議徵收肉品稅。 聯合國糧農組織發佈的一份報告建議徵收肉品稅,以減少這個產業的溫室氣體排放,目前估計畜牧業每年排放7萬億噸的二氧化碳。
- 聯合國環境規劃署和歐盟執委會呼籲少吃肉。聯合國環境規劃署和歐盟執委會聯合發表一份重要的報告,要求徹底改變資源使用的方式,並強調全球必須大幅減少肉品消費,以避免對環境造成毀滅性的影響。
