Almost a billion people across the world suffer from starvation or acute food shortage every day, and it is estimated that around 60 million of these people die each year. In a world that produces more than enough food to literally eradicate starvation, it is a crime that this situation should prevail.

Vast amounts of the world’s crop production, which includes just under 40% of the grain produced, is fed to animals which then get slaughtered to be eaten by a relatively small number of humans who can afford meat. Grain that is fed to livestock in the USA alone amounts to 135 million tons annually and could feed 400 million vegans.

Between 10 and 20 times more people can be fed on a plant based diet than on a meat based diet. There is no good reason why anyone, anywhere in the world should starve.
