How Many Animals are Saved Each Yr by Going Vegetarian?!


Question: How Many Animals are Saved Each Yr by Going Vegetarian!?
I know that about 100 animals lives are spared for a Vegan!. But what about a vegetarian!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Well, for every person that stops eating meat the demand goes down, just a little!. Just a little for a vegan is 100 animals!.
Technically its not saved, its never born!. I'd rather be never born than born into a hell hole of a factory farm!.
I believe it is 95 for a vegetarian!. Not positive!.

People, when the demand goes down, less is produced!. When less is produced, less animals are born!
It seems like pretty obvious logic, not sure why your not getting it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Mat V is dumb!. I've been a vegan for 5 years with NO supplements or vitamins!. I haven't gotten sick except for the occasional cold!. And for your question, I heard it was 98 for a vegetarian!. And who cares if that is an insignificant amount compared to the ones killed!? You're still helping THAT many animals a year from torture and maybe you're showing other people by example that it is better to help than to hurt!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

None!. You think farmers have some sort of 6th sense, where if someone becomes a vegetarian they suddenly release 100 chickens!? I don't think so!.

That "100 animals a year" is a feel good propaganda myth being promoted by pro vegetarian groups and food companies!. It is faulty third grade arithmetic designed to fool children or the gullible!. The average meat consumption in the US has increased to 227lbs per person (and therefore more animals killed) up from 216lbs despite a so called increase in the number "100 animals a year" saving vegetarians during the same time period (5 years)!. Remeber, whatever is not eaten in the US can always be sold somewhere else!. US meat exports have also increased!.

Veg4life - What YOU fail to understand is that there are over 6 billion people in this world and more are born into it every single day!. A disproportionate amount of those people turn out to be meat eaters!. So going by your own logic the demand for meat only keeps getting higher and higher, a few vegetarians affect nothing!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

i think its about the same are SPARED but many more are used!. people who are vegetarians dont actually cause the animals to die but use their by products!.

and yea matt v is dumb!. i survive without supplements easily and havent been healthier!. and i would love to see how meat eaters are smarter since the likes of albert einstein, sir isaac newton, and other great geniuses were vegan/vegetarian!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

They aren't really saved, they are just never born!.

Year one - Hicks Vile has 100 people and one farm!. That farm produces 10,000 animals to feed the town!.

Year two - 10% of Hicks Vile becomes vegetarian!. The farmer is left with 1,000 extra animals!.

Year three - The farmer only rases 9,000 animals, and buys stock in a veggie burger company!.

BTW: that's why Boca was bought up by, Kraft Foods, a large meat producer!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

none because some obese meat-eater will pick up the slack for the meat you dont eat and the meat i dont eat and then some
so just as many animals will be killed if not more
but that dosnt mean i should support sumthing even if it dosnt make a difference
just the same as if i dont kill another person the national murder rate isnt gonna go down !.!.!. so should i go kill somebody just because NOT killing somebody wont make a difference

Who knows but I disagree with Mat V's answer!. There are plenty of cows in the wild in India and Thailand, I travel to both regularly!. You don't see it in the USA/Canada/England because USA eats more cows than anybody and other western countries are almost the same!. That's just like someone during the days of slavery in USA saying "They are meant to be slaves, have you ever seen a free one!?"!. As far as intelligence, they have already proved that intelligent people are more likely to become vegetarian!. Not that being vegetarian makes you smarter, its that smarter people are the types who become vegetarian!. 400,000 google results touting medical studies and conclusions, so thats already fact!.
http://www!.google!.com/search!?hl=en&q=veg!.!.!.
As far as living on just veggies and just meat!. Red meat and chicken are bad for us, they have already proved that too!. We were not meant to eat red meat, possibly fish though!. Japan has the highest life expectancy out of any large country!. China has a similar environment right next door, but they have one of the lowest!. USA has better medical facilities than Japan, yet Japan still lives about 10 more years than americans on average!. This is because Japanese diet consists of mostly fish and less red meat (in addition to rice and veggies), and China diet consists of mostly pork and chicken (in addition to rice and veggies) and USA consists of mostly burgers, pork, and chicken(we are well known world-wide as being "the obese country")!. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the difference!. Red meat clogs arteries, which is why people who eat too much of it are more prone to having heart attacks!. If you have any kind of heart disease, the first thing the doctor tells you is to reduce your red meat consumption!. Gee, I wonder why!. Red meat and fish is acidic, vegetables are alkaline!. Our bodies need more alkaline than acidic to remain healthy!. The alkaline cancels out the acidic, so it keeps the ph levels in our body balanced!. Just google "acidic and alkaline foods" and you will find many lists of what is acidic and what is not!. You can live on nothing but vegetables, nuts and beans (for protein) and fruit!. If you eat nothing but red meat everyday for a month, then eat fruits or vegetables along with it, you will not get sick!. If you eat nothing but fruits and vegetables for a month,then eat red meat along with it, you will get sick!. It's because our bodies were not meant for red meat, and it has to adjust to it again after cleansing itself, kind of like how if someone quits smoking for a month, then starts up again, its harsh on their lungs and makes them cough the first couple of times!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

There are no accurate statistics!. For anyone!. Don't buy into how many you've saved!. Just be happy that you didn't eat any!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

one vegetarian saves over 90 animals per year!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You know the most intelligent animals are carnivores, would a cow or even a chicken even be on this earth if it wasn't for man cultivating them!? whens the last time you saw a cow in the wild!?!.!.!.!.!.Ha now that's a question!.!.!.!.!.to answer yours, its not a significant number as its like 1 saved for every billion animals killed!.!.!.!.hope that helps!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Uh well!. If you don't buy the meat, someone else will!. The demand is always the same!. Vegetarians don't actually save anything!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
