SAVE LIVES: The average meat-eater will consume 2000 animals in his or her lifetime, plus half a ton of fish.

IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH: Saturated animal fat in meat and dairy products is a major cause of three big killers: cancer, heart disease and stroke.

PROTECT OUR PLANET: Farmed animals produce enormous amounts of methane gas, the second biggest cause of global warming.

FEED THE WORLD: An acre of cereal produces five times more protein than an acre used for meat production.
