If America went vegan, 327 million people would have enough to eat – twice
The switch from animal protein to plant-based
A Vegan America?
Can Americans really give up their way of life, from corporate greed of the animal-based agricultural industries and ‘entertainment’ in the form of rodeos or hunting down defenseless animals in the middle of the night.
A recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences shows it is possible, and the roughly forty-one million Americans who experience hunger each year be a thing of the past. While switching to a vegan diet would just feed all 327 inhabitants, and an additional 350 million more.

The study examined the United States agricultural use that is dedicated to raising livestock for the food system, and replacing it with the
According to the research, if this land was used to cultivate plants instead of animals for slaughter, the land and US farmers could feed double the number of people they do now.
“Concurrently replacing all animal-based items in the US diet with plant-based alternatives will add enough food to feed, in full, 350 million additional people – well above the expected benefits of eliminating all supply chain food waste,” the study states.

Vegan Nation
Ron Milo, a sustainability researcher at the Weizmann Institue of Science in Israel leading the study with his researchers replaced the foods grown in the area with “nutritionally comparable” plant-based alternatives, to adequately keep a level of optimal health for the country, comparative to what they were currently nutritionally accustomed to, while switching to a vegan diet. Providing the same calories, protein, fiber, and vitamins, without an increase of fat in the diet.
The team found “nutritionally equivalent combination of potatoes, peanuts, soybeans and other plants, the total amount of food available to be eaten would increase by 120%.”

Dream a little dream! It would be so great, but people are so stubborn and ignorant . Especially the politicians. Even if you shove it into their faces they just don’t want to see all the suffering, health problems, huge danger for our environment and look away.
