If everyone switches to vegetables and grains, will there be enough to eat?
Yes. We feed so much grain to animals in order to fatten them up for consumption that if we all became vegetarians, we could produce enough food to feed the entire world. In the U.S., animals are fed more than 80 percent of the corn we grow and more than 95 percent of the oats. The world's cattle alone consume a quantity of food equal to the caloric needs of 8.7 billion people—more than the entire human population on Earth. Click here for more on meat and the environment.
Carla Bennett, regular columnist for PETA's Animal Times, explains how to live peacefully with our wild neighbors, advises us on how to choose just the right furry friend, juxtaposes hunting myths with harsh reality, offers vegetarian recipes, explains why show business is no business for animals, and provides lists of organizations and resources to help people have a positive effect on the animals around them, plus much more.
