"What We Do Here In America: abuse 10 billion farm animals every year!"
As Russell Simmons talks about the environment and veganism, he mentions that when god said have dominion over animals, he did not mean for us, to abuse 10 billion farm animals every year”.
Russell Simmons was talking to CNN when he uttered these words, and he is simply stating a truth. We do not need meat to live or survive. And meat is something that proliferated in the 50’s, prior to that it wasnt so highly consumed.
Those who eat meat, eat it simply because of the taste of it. Not because of health reasons or because of nutrition. To output the amount of meat that is in demand now, billions of animals have to suffer and die horribly. All in the name of taste and convenience.
Russell is clearly a compassionate being and i for one am glad he is talking about his views, as he does have a ton of fans. The more who hear the awful statistics, the better chance of claiming more vegetarian diets.
Bonus points: Feel free to adopt “Meatless Mondays“, and create a veggie meal tonite.
