到2050年以前，5個真棒的原因，我們可以有個素食主義者的美國，
事實證明，我們可能不會有一個選擇。
雖然像美國前總統克林頓等素食名人一直在倡導素食主義者的飲食，
導致科學家們發出關於全球糧食供應嚴厲警告，
稱世界人口可能不得不幾乎完全切換到純素食在未來40年，以避免災難性的糧食短缺。
素食主義者的美國，在2050年以前？萬歲！
您有什麼感想？請問美國在2050年就會吃全素？
2050年前全球須吃素
到2050年，全世界的人口將達到90億，如果人們還像現在一樣的飲食習慣，大量吃肉的話，那麼水資源將嚴重不足，不足以飼養供人類肉食的動物。（圖：法新社）
[新聞] 2047年全英國人都吃素
蘋果日報 台灣創刊號 2003.05
以目前英國人每星期有2000人改吃素的情況來看，到了2047年，全英國可能都是素食主義者。
根據一項調查顯示， 英國現在有百分之六的人口吃全素，有四成的民眾則是每星期至少挑一天不吃肉。消費者分析機構的人員表示：「有些人聽到2047年全英國人都吃素可能會嚇一跳，但其實這代表我們進入一個新時代，英國人終於開始了解並尊重環境。」英國是歐洲國家中素食人口第二高的國家，僅次於德國。
-----補充驚人資料（英國）------
根據統計，一輩子吃素的一名英國人，大約可省下：
760隻雞，
5頭牛，
20隻豬，
20頭羊，
半噸的魚。
這亦意味著，將有一大片森林可以被保留下來。
-----補充驚人資料（台灣）------
2003年，美國人一年吃掉91.5億隻動物（不含水產），美國約有2億7千萬人，因此每人每年吃掉34隻動物，加上魚蝦類則更多。請注意，這是2003年的數字，美國每年被屠殺作為盤中餐的動物數字每年都在增加中。 因此，在美國，只要一人棄肉茹素，每年就可救34隻動物。
根據台灣農委會發佈的資料，臺灣在2003年吃掉近60萬噸的雞肉，以一隻雞2公斤計算，臺灣人每年吃掉約3億隻雞。因此，臺灣每人每年吃掉14隻雞，一個一生吃50年素的臺灣人，終其一生可以救1700隻雞免於被屠宰及在養殖場被虐待。再加上豬牛羊魚蝦海鮮等其他動物，這個數字相當可觀。
做什麼善事可以讓一個人一輩子救1700條命？
就是只要能控制嘴巴、筷子，開始吃素就可以！
乖乖說：
哇！原來人一生可以吃這麼多動物>.<
如果特別愛吃肉的人，也許不只上面的統計數字。
「吃素」已經是世界趨勢，也是人類自我拯救的覺醒，
所以大家要擺脫沒營養又不好吃的觀念，時代不同啦！
今天 你吃素了嗎？
天天都是吃素的好日子喔！^^
2050年全球成素食者
雖然多吃蔬果有益健康，但如果有科學家警告，2050年全球人類都必須變成素食者，你會怎麼想？
2012年世界水資源議程在瑞典盛大舉辦，參加者來自120個國家、超過2500人，包括政治人物、聯合國代表、非政府組織、研究者等，討論如何解決水資源供給不足問題。當地研究人員表示，解決方案只有一個 － 讓全球人類都變成素食者。

5 Awesome Reasons We Could Have a Vegan America by 2050

5 Awesome Reasons We Could Have a Vegan America by 2050
After undergoing quadruple bypass surgery in 2004 and a later stent surgery, Bill Clinton adopted a vegan diet in 2010. Since then, he’s lost 20 pounds, and is now an advocate for vegan and meatless diets.
“I like the vegetables, the fruits, the beans, the stuff I eat now,” Clinton told a CNN reporter. “All my blood tests are good, and my vital signs are good, and I feel good, and I also have, believe it or not, more energy.”
Clinton is not alone. If the growing number of vegans continues to rise at the same pace, we could have a meat- and dairy-free country by 2050. Here’s the proof:
1. The Rise of Fast-Casual Chains. Casual-dining chains like Red Lobster and Olive Garden were all the rage in the 1990s but have faced decreasing traffic in nine out of the past 13 years. Instead, so-called fast-casual dining is red-hot. Chipotle, Panera and Five Guys offer cheaper, quicker, but also higher-quality, dining experiences. Fast-casual is the fastest-growing segment in the restaurant industry, with an 11 percent increase in sales in 2013. These chains are not all vegan, but they generally offer fresh, nutritious food, with vegan options — a very different proposal from the dreary over-cooked meat and fish options available at Olive Garden and Red Lobster.
2. Changes in the Fast-Food Industry. Chains like Burger King, Wendy’s, Subway, Dunkin’ Donuts and many more have pledged to phase out products derived from the industry’s most horrific practices. Moe’s Southwest Grill offers tofu, Chipotle offers “Sofritas” (delcious tofu braised in a variety of tasty spices), and Tropical Smoothie Café offers Beyond Meat as a substitute to any chicken wrap, sandwich or salad. The vegan chain Loving Hut has 43 restaurants in 15 states. Native Foods Café plans to open 200 new locations. And yes, McDonald’s is not doing so well.
3. Consumers Are Becoming Aware of the Horrific Effects of Eating Meat. Meat impacts the environment so severely because livestock require so much more land, food, water and energy than plants to raise and transport. Producing a four-ounce (quarter pound) hamburger, for example, requires seven pounds of grain and forage, 53 gallons of drinking water and water for irrigating feed crops, and 75 square feet of land for grazing and growing feed crops.
4. Meat consumption Is Down. In 2012, Americans consumed 12.2 percent less meat than in 2007. Half of us are aware of Meatless Mondays, and nearly as many of us are eating at least one vegetarian meal a week. If you search on Google for “vegan caterer” you will get 16,200 results. And the most vegan-friendly cities aren’t always where you might expect them: there’s Portland, Ore., Los Angeles and New York, but the list also includes Chicago, Salt Lake City and Las Vegas. A Google News search for “vegan 2013″ provides 24,200 results, while a “vegan 2003″ search provides only 1,650 results.
5. The Famous Are Going Vegan. It’s not just Bill Clinton. Long-time vegetarian Natalie Portman went vegan in 2009 after reading Jonathan Safran Foer’s Eating Animals. As she wrote in a blog on Huffington Post: “The human cost of factory farming — both the compromised welfare of slaughterhouse workers and, even more, the environmental effects of the mass production of animals — is staggering.” Similar to Natalie Portman, comedian and talk-show host Ellen DeGeneres switched to a vegan diet in 2008 after reading several books on animal rights and diets. “I do it because I love animals,” DeGeneres told Katie Couric. “And I saw the reality and I just couldn’t ignore it anymore.” Degeneres’ wife, Portia de Rossi, agrees; their 2008 wedding featured a vegan menu. Other big names who are vegan include Al Gore, Mike Tyson, Alicia Silverstone, Joaquin Phoenix and Usher.
As it turns out, we may not have a choice. While celebrities like Clinton have been advocating a vegan diet, leading scientists have issued stern warnings about global food supplies, saying that the world’s population may have to switch almost completely to a vegan diet over the next 40 years to avoid catastrophic shortages.
A vegan America by 2050? Hooray!
What do you think? Could the U.S. be vegan by 2050?
