Meme 2 wonen having a conversation First woman: ‘The only thing you vegans care about is animals! Why don't you do something to help people?’ 2nd woman responds: ‘You mean besides reducing the likelihood of many diseases, growing more food on less land, reducing antibiotic resistance, preventing many future pandemics, saving water and slowing climate change? Besides that?’

‘The only thing vegans care about is animals’

Even if that were true, veganism combats several problems by sheer default

Chart: 7 red bars (animal antibiotics) tower over 3 blue bars (human antibiotics). 73% of global antibiotics go to factory farming.

73% of all antibiotics go to animals raised for food. Not to treat sick animals. To mask the disease that factory farming creates. We are burning our last medical defense so chickens can survive cages they should never be in. #AntibioticResistance #FoodSystems

Glaciers aren’t as pristine as we think.

They may be storing ancient antibiotic resistance genes for thousands of years and climate change could release them into our water systems.

A hidden risk in a warming world.
